@Charleyhall Go, go, go! :D

What I am thinking when I ⭐ a post:

⭐ "I like what you've said, but I am too tired to comment."

⭐ "My, that artwork is pretty. I'd comment but I am a bit overwhelmed right now."

⭐ "What an adorable kitty/puppy/bird/llama/cow/piglet/pony etc! Would comment but really exhausted at the moment."

⭐ "I feel a connection with you, fellow human. Let's visit - after a nap."

I do care but so much of the time I am just worn out and a ⭐ is the best I've got.

I ⭐ you.

I've created a small, incomplete, list of instances with moderators of color.

The list and suggestions became to much to keep up on my own, so here is a Google document, https://docs.google.com/document/d/12pTmSMpq8lMYyYlHT25DgTmdMmE6ysUyRHGiq-E4XdQ/edit?usp=sharingp

Here's how to move accounts and take your followers with you https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/

New Copy of Fediverse instances with moderators of color

This initially started out as a post but I am offline more than online, so cannot keep up this list. This is why anybody can edit the document. The original is hidden, but I'd encourage you all to make a wiki based on the below instances and information. Hosting your own wiki. For a fully mana...

Just had an epiphany where I connected deictic centre with my work on critiquing externalist design. These terms will be unfamiliar to most, in part because the latter is my own.

But the idea I'm working with is this: With externalist design, players are not cued to transport to the centre of the storyworld, they’re cued to transport to the centre of the designer's system.

What do you think about when I say such words? What good or bad results do you think can come from such a design? TY!

@nautilebleu Thank you!
@joehumphrey Thank you!
@jsfitzsimmons Oh, you weren’t at the start of comments — must be an instance delay!
