"Fascism first causes, then thrives on, the chaos for which it presents itself as sole cure" - William Gibson

Hello Fediverse!

Wikipedia  is a multilingual free online encyclopedia written and maintained by a community of volunteers, known as Wikipedians, through open collaboration and using a wiki-based editing system called MediaWiki -- at least that's what our Wikipedia article says (https://w.wiki/W).

Hello Fediverse!

@Flipboard is currently a walled garden.

It's a beautiful, highly curated walled garden filled with content from the worlds best publishers and creators curated by Flipboard's editorial team as well as our community of magazine makers.

But it's still a walled garden. Today that begins to change.

We've moved four of our most popular #curation desks into the Fediverse for you to enjoy.

@NewsDesk
@TechDesk

@ScienceDesk

Yesterday, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey had a site put up to narc on trans people in Missouri (and likely out of state, too):

https://ago.mo.gov/file-a-complaint/transgender-center-concerns

However, the site doesn't do any kind of bot filtering, data validation, or even location validation (so long as you use a VPN and switch locations up!).

With that, class... UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER SHOULD YOU USE THE FOLLOWING SCRIPT TO FLOOD THE SITE WITH FALSE INFORMATION!! That would be very, very naughty!! 😈😈😈
