If Messi wins this World Cup, I never ever ever ever want to hear another Messi vs. Ronaldo argument again. It will be settled law. If it isn't already. #MastodonFC
Never forget, electric cars are here to save the car industry, not the planet.

Finally started reading @ruha9's most recent book "Viral Justice", a brutally optimistic manifesto for social transformation. This call to action focuses on overcoming the injustices and inequities of our society to promote positive social change ("social change can be irresistible"). We can all contribute our skills to the cause. It is such a breath of fresh air in this time of racism, paternalism, ageism and uncertainty. Let's conceive and build a new world! We are all in this fight together.

On November 25, at the urging of a far-right troll, Elon Musk banned the @CrimethInc Twitter account.

Musk’s goal in acquiring Twitter had nothing to do with “free speech”—it was a partisan move to silence opposition, paving the way for fascist violence.

Update: Good to see @Mastodon being responsive and I'm sure it was an innocent mistake, but these mistakes keep happening and they point to deeper issues with the approach to moderation over here that really need to be worked out. A lot of responsibility is left on the shoulders of volunteer mods. Things could be more transparent and less arbitrary.

I hope people take some of these concerns that have been surfacing seriously rather than just tell people to go find a different server or whatever

This is a big problem for Mastodon.

Canadian journalist Erica Ifill just had her mastodon.online account suspended without explanation. She's been sharing stuff critical of Mastodon re: intersectional issues.

I get the decentralized structure and idea that each server has its own rules. But this Reddit-style moderation, where moderators with god-complexes make mysterious and arbitrary decisions, is going to cause people migrating to Mastodon to flee in droves.
