One of the big stories from yesterday you won’t hear much about is across the country, from local school boards up to national offices, transgender and trans-ally candidates did very well.

Whatever else happened last night, there is strong evidence that making trans people objects of fear and hate is not the winning strategy one side thought it was.

@johnmu @gfiorelli1 Having read John’s linked article I agree that “just” and “it depends” are not in the same category at all.

The problem with “just” is that it carries a dismissive, condescending tone that implies the hearer/reader doesn’t deserve a more nuanced or detailed answer.

“It depends” is simply being honest about the fact that not everything is black and white, and as long as you explain what “it” depends on, actually very helpful.

…Problem was that the creators of Ello had never intended it to be big. It was an act of love created to give artists and creators a place to be online. Ello blew up for a few weeks, but soon everyone left except the original community, which still exists today.

Kept having this vague sense of deja vu these past two days seeing what’s happening with Mastodon, and it just hit me: Ello. Anyone else remember that?

Five or six years ago Twitter came down hard on drag queens for not using their real names, and a bunch of them left and adopted Ello. The news went viral and over a few days millions of new uses piled into Ello as a possible Twitter alternative. (Cont. in reply)

@johnmu @ajkohn Are y’all saying if I clear my cookies I can override the 30 day waiting period?
@johnmu @ajkohn Good to know. I already moved my server once so I’m on a 30 day wait to move again, but will probably move to one of the SEO servers that have been started when I can.
@ajkohn here it is.
