let's regular postinganybody saying you shouldn't defederate different ideas is an idiot. you should defederate anybody you want. defederate TERFs. defederate nazis. defederate annoying instances. defederate someone because it would be a funny joke. just like in real life you have the freedom to connect with whoever you want and no obligation to spend your time on shitheads and losers.

MOVED By far the hardest part of scanning your own analog photographs is avoiding dust and shit.
Correos de Chile es consistentemente una burla, una afrenta, una mancha en la dignidad de la nación.
Lo único que se me ocurre para justificar que hagan todo *tan mal* es que es un intento deliberado de boicotear los servicios públicos por parte de los longis culiaos que nos han gobernado tantos años.
fuuma(Moving to new htown)Make the net weird again. Hand write sites like it’s the 90s. Pick interesting domain names and make fan sites or random knowledge known to everyone. Don’t monetize anything. Spearhead new protocols like Gemini. Make mods for games on your site. Make FAQs for obscure games no one knows about. Make public software services available to anyone. Make a news site about a really random subject. Create music in all kinds of different formats. Most of all, do it because you want to!
SmittyHalibutI see a lot of people talking about how Mastodon "Feels like the Internet I remember from 20 years ago."
That's no accident. That's Federation. That's UseNet, IRC, Email, Message Boards, etc. What do they all have in common?
Federation: Users congregating around watering holes of common interest, but still being a part of a larger whole.
THIS IS HOW THE INTERNET WAS DESIGNED TO BE. And I am HERE for it.
Michał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.
This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable — and used.
If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kinda… nice?" — that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".
So #KeepFediWeird.
Nate Cull (.social)Protip:
When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,
"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes
I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."
