There'll be words here one day.

Bad news for the European branches of the decentralized web. Not only did #copyrightfilters and the #linktax pass EU Parliament, the Commission introduced new anti-terrorist proposals that would need you to be available 24/7 to police your network for "terrorist content".

It's time to make your voice heard in Brussels. Start with subscribing and following https://edri.org/ -- the reps for digital rights groups in the EU.

The longer you spend online, the greater the pile of things you miss that got fucked up by take-overs becomes... Last.fm, RSS and Posterous being the top three. Also I got a handful of actual blog comments this week, rather than FB discussions about the post. That reminded me of those heady days when blog comments were where the action was. I miss that too... :(
Move at a reasonable speed and leave things better than you found them.

Been here less than two weeks, already blocked two mansplainy arrogant asshats who have no idea what they're talking about, but have the confidence of 100 mediocre white men.

Honestly, fuck mastodon. I'm literally going to be here to be in touch with a very tiny number of people I care about. Everyone else can fuck off.

EVERYBODY! When my baby bunny drinks milk she does this cute thing with her little paw. It's important that you know this.

One of the symptoms of depression is not being able to tell the big problems from the little problems.

Wanna do some good? Form a brigade and go after Alex Jones or Mike Cernovich or Richard Spencer. Punch a nazi. They're not hard to find.

Wilw didn't deserve this. No matter how you feel about him, this was unfair. And we should learn from it because it will happen again.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that Mastodon is as full of mansplainy twats who are overconfident in their own opinion as everywhere else.
The thing that pisses me off the most about this Wil Wheaton thing is that there is a bunch of us who were talking about essential community management tools and techniques a fucking decade or more ago, and we were all ignored. And now what we see is that the lessons we all learnt and discussed back then have not just not been learnt by today's admins, but the scale of the problem has been allowed to get out of hand. And now it's very hard to put the genie back in the bottle.
Good morning. Here’s a bunny.
