19 June 1899 | A German Jewish woman, Jeanette Königheim-Feilmann, was born in Jever. She emigrated to The Netherlands.

In September 1942 she was deported to #Auschwitz. She did not survive.

To Bluesky users. CEO Jay Graber has said #Bluesky is decentralized. If you don't like what the company is doing, you have the option to move your account.

So, for instance, if the company welcomed and verified JD Vance, as has now happened, you could move elsewhere.

Well folks, this was a lie, Bluesky is actually a centralized platform. There is no place on Bluesky to move to.

But you do have one option. Move to the Fediverse. A truly decentralized defensible public social media network.

This Juneteenth—let us remember that human trafficking was legal. Slavery was legal. Jim Crow was legal. The US Govt government paying reparations to white enslavers but not to the Black enslaved, was legal. Do not let legality be a measure of morality or justice.

Juneteenth Is Not Just About Ending Slavery

Today marks Juneteenth, a day to commemorate that moment in 1865—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation—when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas to inform enslaved Black Americans that they were finally free.

I can’t help with today’s political news, and I’m not sure anyone can, but I do have some good personal news: my immuno-therapy this past winter was an unexpectedly big success. I’m cancer free, says my Cleveland Clinic team. Thank you to them—and especially medical science.
Which servers are people migrating to in light of the Mastodon TOS issue?
it's obviously on the people endangered by neonazi movements to somehow placate them and make their peace, because why oh why would you expect that the onus probandi of good will should be on the neonazis themselves.
When someone tells you about a very interesting article... that is on substack
"ICE are kidnapping children, but progressives who get mad at Democrats throwing trans kids under the bus are the really mean ones." Joan Vennochi, probably.

@Moss @adanielroth Okay. I don't agree, for two reasons:

- When you migrate instances, you can't bring your posts,
- I actually care about my posts. I put a lot of effort into them :(

If Mastodon had made different technical decisions (there are bugs asking for this going back to 2016), then I think what you say would be true, but that's not how I see the Mastodon-flavored fediverse as it actually developed :(

@ancoghlan Okay, but I don't care if content exists on a stray mirror server somewhere? I care whether content exists on a stray mirror server *and I have explicitly granted that mirror server a right to the content*. If people pirate my shit they pirate my shit. I don't want to have *authorized* it.
