One of the things I’ve learned about the consequences of bullying is that when people tell you things like “I’m pretty bad at math” or “computers aren’t for me” or “I don’t really get art or fashion” and you talk to them for a bit what you often find - not always, but often - is what that really means is “somebody treated me like shit for trying to like this when I was 9.”

Without the studios, actors and writers could still make movies.

Without the actors and writers, the studio heads would have to get jobs.

SFBA Moderators Jun 19, 2023

Hello #SFBA!
We've heard and read a lot about the potential upcoming Meta project that intends to join the fediverse. We have also seen many instance admins committing to blocking these instances as soon as they appear. We are not going to commit to suspending them at this time, but we also won't commit to federating with them. As always, we **are** committed to giving potential problem instances extra attention; and this one will have our eyes fixed upon it.

We do not know when they will release their service, but when they do our moderators will be keeping an eye out for content that violates our CoC or otherwise threatens our users. Just like any server, if they become a nuisance or violate our server rules they will be limited. If there is risk of harm to our users, we will suspend them.

Please continue to report anything you see, and happy tooting!

Creators and artists, don't let anyone tell you that you can't find an audience for your stuff on the #Fediverse. I've literally spent hundreds of dollars on stuff for my particular hobby niche (#TTRPG) since I joined in November, most of which I would have either ignored or not heard about on Twitter.

I love all of the new capitalist innovations like:

* Submarines that implode
* Computers that lie
* Movies no one can watch, for tax reasons

“The bison have always been there…and now they’re coming back.” Blackfeet release wild buffalo on tribal land (with a video that evokes some feelings, at least for me)

'Absolutely epic': Blackfeet release wild buffalo on tribal land

The tribe said, to their knowledge, the Blackfeet Nation is the first tribe in America to return free-roaming buffalo to their native habitat.

Yesterday I saw two Canadian gay bears sitting outside a casual restaurant in the Castro, waiting for their meal.

I could tell they were Canadian by their matching red t-shirts that said CANADA on them.

I almost wished them a Happy Canada Day. But then I realized that would require me to converse with them. And I don’t like talking to people.

So I just mentally wished a Happy Canada Day.

Happy belated Canada Day to everyone on Mastodon that celebrate!

If there was one piece of advice I could give to new Mastodon users who are finding their feeds quiet or boring, it is to follow as many people and hashtags as you can. This is not Twitter; there is no algorithm, it is not going to fill your feed with stuff it thinks you like. You have to curate it yourself. Once you do, though, it's so much more vibrant and rewarding than Twitter has been for a year. #TwitterMigration #Twitter
