Hi all! It’s the Sunday before US Thanksgiving so it is time for the official reminder that you can ask me ANYTHING no matter how silly about Thanksgiving cooking and I will help you out.

🚨🚨 🚨 Also if you are roasting a whole turkey from frozen IT IS TIME TO DEFROST🚨🚨🚨

HEY HEY FRENZ on mastodon.social! You may want to MOVE to a new instance, very soon.

Why?  

Mastodon is a bunch of islands that can talk to each other. The smaller and more spread out we are, the easier things are to moderate. Horizontal scaling FTW!

All of you who fled that one site 🐤 ended up at mastodon.social for likely a few reasons. It was obvious, it was big, and it's where you saw a bunch of folks going.

But it has a long history of being poorly moderated, which means a LOT of instances are silencing or blocking it. Which means you're on the big island that SEEMS like it's "where everyone is", but in fact, it's a giant island unto itself (momentarily trending toward turning into a post-bird-site echo chamber), and huge swaths of the Fediverse don't talk to it, or even see it.

If you want the quality of interaction (and moderation!) Mastodon is known for, move thy funky buns to a smaller instance of cool folks you enjoy.

Watching #WorldCupfifa2022 ? Then turn off the telly and #BoycottQatar2022. Over 1200 workers died in #Qatar in preparing for this event. Every game has blood on it. This goes way beyond worker safety, but is a sign of serious #HumanRights violations.

Want another reason? #Iran, whose government is threatening to execute over 10 thousand protesters in custody, is allowed to play. What's up #FIFA?

For anyone still wondering what happening over there on the 🐥, copyright systems are down and people started uploading the Fast and Furious Movies to gigantic video threads 😂😂😂 you can’t make this shit up.
