I have moved my account to another server - more spreading is more better!

new handle: @deedo

The continued growth of mastodon.social is putting the #Fediverse in danger (here's why: https://fedi.tips/its-a-really-bad-idea-to-join-a-big-server/).

The quickest, easiest and most effective way to solve this would be if the official apps & website stopped promoting mastodon.social, and instead promoted a rotating selection from a pool of reliable servers with solid track records.

If you're comfortable using Github, please give thumbs up to all these:

Mastodon.social is not a good way to join Mastodon. If you’re already on it, you might want to move your account to a different Mastodon server. | Fedi.Tips – An Unofficial Guide to Mastodon and the Fediverse

Another super-hurricane is about to hit the Philippines. I've been doing one hurricane cartoon almost every year and the point of all of them is basically the same. These are from 2024, 2022, 2020 and 2019.

i always phrased it as:

freedumb: "i can do whatever i want, who cares who i harm, in fact, that's my whole point: harming others, that's my 'freedom'"

actual freedom: "i can do whatever i want, as long as i don't harm the freedom of others"

and out of people's inability or unwillingness to differentiate between these two attitudes, much much suffering ensues

"But there is nothing stopping anybody from building their own Mastodon "server" (read "Nazi bar")"

that's already the case

#Trump's #TruthSocial is a #Mastodon server (well, technically a fork of it)

it doesn't matter if by kicking out the nazis they organize their own servers. that isn't remotely a valid reason to let them in on any rationale whatsoever

you nuke their servers, you nuke their accounts. scorched earth. that is the only way

@rozeboosje @CStamp @Pineywoozle

"Ultimately even those with the vilest possible opinions should be able to express them"

nope

if someone is a bigot, nuke their fucking account, period, end of story

there is nothing, absolutely nothing, gained by allowing bigotry a voice anywhere, at any time

bigotry is not free speech: when it is spoken, it destroys freedom. censor the ever loving fucking shit out of it. this is the only way. that is my sincere belief

We really need some kind of maximum wage to keep democracy alive. Otherwise the billionaires use their vast piles of cash to make themselves even richer, and bribe governments to do whatever they want.

Well played Rep Ansari. Well played. Give Johnson hell. You can follow what happened on her X account. Johnson tried to drown her out by putting a TV in the hall at full volume right next to her but she continued to give interviews #USPolitics

@NOS Beste redactie, wat is dit voor een slot?
"De Mexicaanse president zei gisteren dat er nooit Amerikaanse militairen zullen opereren binnen Mexicaanse landsgrenzen. Maar met het constante kartelgeweld in grote delen van Mexico enerzijds en het impulsieve buitenlandbeleid van Trump anderzijds, is dat in de toekomst niet meer ondenkbaar."

Bent u alvast aan het normaliseren wat niet normaal is? Wat illegaal is? Amerikaanse gevechtshandelingen in Mexico?

Wat is de reporter van Nieuwsuur hier nu aan het doen? Nieuws verzamelen of een beetje de Privé spelen: een ruzietje opstoken, een quote halen waar je dan weer mee naar Yesilgoz kan? Iemand van de tv nog geïnteresseerd in het landsbestuur/ landsbelang, nee hè? Uitstekende reactie van Jesse Klaver.
