@th0rnleaf Whelp, shows me. Apparently it all started because there *was* a previous unrelated platform called Hive that was owned by Trumpers. My bad for repeating hearsay.

@th0rnleaf Also usernames aren’t unique, it’s all driven by VC money, and the devs are sus as heck. MAGA types.

I’m always championing more accessible materials for puppet building. Spend a little time and you can make polar fleece look great. #puppets #puppetbuilding

The first black child ever allowed to attend a white school is only 68 years old now.
White parents pulled their children from school. White teachers refused to teach her.
Ruby Bridges now works as an activist & public speaker

This, more than any amount of “complexity” is what will keep Mastodon as a platform limited. It’s not the next Twitter, it’s just a place to wait for the next Twitter.

Re: Mastodon’s looming moderation problem. This is the Achilles Heel of the system. Decentralization is great in theory but it resolves in patchwork islands. Everyone knows how bad it is when a subreddit mod goes rogue. Now imagine that mod being able to control how much of other subreddits you see 🫤

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.
