Stuff like this is a major, major component of dealing with nazis.

And even after they’re dealt with, it’s a better way of doing things, anyway. If it’s a company, you’re not on their social media platform, as much as you can possibly manage.

Which is a lot.

Occasional comments here and there are probably better.

Everything helps.

No corporations in social media. No venture capital in social media.

I bet the fediverse wouldn’t censor a post about reddit because the fediverse isn’t a bitch.

Well, for starters, he carried out the single worst attack on American itself in its history: Jan 6th, 2021. Pearl Harbor and 9/11 didn’t attack America’s beating heart. Jan 6th did.

At least hundreds of thousands of people died from covid, who would have lived otherwise, specifically because of his non-response to covid, and his whiny toddler hissy fit decision to destroy the pandemic response team, just because Obama created it.

The fact is, you don’t need more reasons. There are tons and tons more, but it might be better to leave it at these two to give the crimes their proper emphasis. The first, only an enemy of America would do. The second, only an enemy of the species would do.

Yes.

You shit on the individual asshole executives. Not the people who got screwed. Not the company, which has no agency and can do nothing. The individual executives, including the board of directors.

Signal is the way.

Anybody who gives a rat’s ass about grandma wants to see her hanging out in places that aren’t actively hostile to her, and will at least consider switching.

If they insist on keeping her in places that want to see her come to a bad end just to make a buck, then we can safely stop calling or thinking of those people as friends.

I tried really hard to understand this. It isn’t working.

I put in my share of the work. I think it just does not make sense.

No implying that asking multiple times is bad.

We should all be asking about and offering alternatives, a lot. Over and over.

It’s a non-shitty instagram.

This is one of the best summaries of it that I’ve seen.

People are being stupid when they call oligarchs selfish. They aren’t selfish. They’re idiots.

I’ll show you how that back end works!

(I have no idea and hope you get the info you want)

Cars will never and should never go away completely, even if they become nothing more than a niche hobbyist thing.

In any case, we very much need and want and should have community mechanic shops and education. A friendly repair cafe is always a good idea.

Oh no.

Please, for the love of god, think more tactically. This is a brilliant move on Daniel’s part, and a fantastic example for the fediverse more broadly to follow.

The Fediverse needs UI work. The new world needs a new internet.

I’m thankful we have this glorified hobbyist project of a micro internet, because it’s awesome. It’s time for real layout work to make things more intuitive, instead of this “just solder it” open-source-in-the-bad-way energy that sometimes gets half-assedly splattered around.

For everybody who has and is working on the Fediverse, thank you.

This is what we call a home run.

You should look up a picture of that dweeb sometime, or listen to any of the bitchly things he says. It’ll cure you of that notion in about a third of a second.

Just go with 20 years. Easy.

Did I miss something? How do you install your own fire exits on somebody else’s thing?
