Hello. Hi. Do you have a #hobby you're passionate about?

May I suggest something radical?

You DON'T have to turn it into a business.

Thank you for your time.

Edit: On the flip side, don't make an assumption about other people's hobbies and passions, and don't give them unsolicited advice. (h/t @eyrea's comment)

I would like to be able to make recommendations to BIPOC who have been scared off by the (non)moderation of mastodon.social and some of the other bigger instances.

If you know of an instance where there are non-white people who are doing the moderation (and also that the moderation is good) please let me know.

Thank you, comrades! <3

Also a reminder that crossposting back to bird site makes it easier for people to stay there and hides how folks are leaving.

Whether you continue to do that is up to you, of course, and will be dependent on how much your circles of friends have already jumped ship.

But if lots already have, consider not doing that to encourage friends to leave the main character battle arena site and join better alternatives.

Social networks need critical mass to sustain themselves.

Part of that is making sure this site has that critical mass by encouraging folks to come here.

Part of that is making sure bird site isn't a place where you provide free content anymore.

There's a good chance when you joined here, you cared more about the first of those as a hedge against bird site dying.

But if recent changes mean you want birdsite to affirmatively die, you'll need to do both.

George Takei is in the Federation!

(Er, fediverse, but really we should just give up and call it the Federation at this point.)
