I’m not sure what’s more depressing
The fact a Supreme Court justice can be bought so easily
The fact that many people have access to Clarence Thomas on his “paid vacations”
The fact we have to multiply that by at least 38
Or the fact that it’s basically only one news organization that’s has been investigating this rampant corruption
The fullest accounting yet shows how Thomas has secretly reaped the benefits from a network of wealthy and well-connected patrons that is far more extensive than previously understood.
During my one year activity on the #Fediverse I've now seen at least four instance admins quitting from being an admin or shutting down their server. Half of these cases were admins being dickheads and the rest of them were mostly about users being dickheads leading admin getting burned out.
Both outcomes are unfortunate, but the latter makes me sad. Why do we have to harass and doxx an admin here for such pseudetical reasons like extensive open text search feature? I don't get humans sometimes.
I repeat: We are not free from toxicity on the Fediverse. Be kind. Make a chance.
it seems obvious, but the people you surround yourself with really do make a difference in your own behaviour and mood.
I've noticed this not only in my interactions so far on Mastodon, but also in my real life.
kindness is equally as contagious as hatred.
please be kind
Please stop defederating from general purpose news services, just because they sometimes do a transphobia.
I'm trans, and I'm telling you its worse for me to cut off my news sources than to read those news sources misgender people or whatever.
Seriously, come the fuck on, we just talked about this. Stop making the fediverse into some arcane and impenetrable little clique powered by unwritten rules and endless purity tests.
