I have a question that need help with.

Does Mastodon actually have a enforcement ban policy?

if you're not a fan of the #c2pa #tags within the #OpenAI #image #generator and use #linux or #WSL in #windows you can install the package which has the exiftool and strip the tracking info out.

exiftool -all= -overwrite_original yourimage.png

As for us we will be using this mechanism and others to determine if we are indeed posting #AI generated #images blatantly

If we are we'll be sure to add #AIgenerated so you can skip if you're one of those people.

it's the #weekend #mastodon #community I've escaped again from institutionalization and am ready to #smash !!!!

I'll probably just end up #coding in an attempt to appease those angry at #AI.

Individuals articulate ideas but it’s communities that produce, support and nurture them. A single flower is the product of a whole landscape. Just as there is no such thing as a self-made flower, there’s no such thing as a self-made human.

My friend @peteorrall said “experiencing joy is radical.” I’ve heard variations of that about happiness, laughter, and love.

They’re right. The oppressors want us sick and miserable.

Look to people who have been oppressed en masse. While they do have breaking points, they emerge because of their ability to love, laugh, and smile.

Be radical. Find joy. Find love. Find laughter.

We accept a poverty of friendships.

Pre-scheduled interactions used to be the bedrock of community.

Now, loneliness is an epidemic.

Putting "hang out with friends" on the calendar could be the most rebellious thing you ever do.

I’m so impressed with the leadership at UnidosNow for prioritizing pleasure & #wellness for their staff during such challenging times. This was one of the loveliest workshops I’ve ever led—outdoors, next to a pond filled with ducks, geese and turtles, underneath the shade of cypress trees. What’s the word for a stunningly beautiful moment lined with sadness? #clay #art #crafts #nature #healing #grief #community

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/28/jd-vance-hometown-ohio-immigration A growing number of immigrants from Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Mexico and Honduras have moved to the hometown of Vice-President JD Vance in recent years. And while Vance has been at the forefront of anti-immigrant rhetoric in the US, the story of immigration’s impact on Middletown is one of rebirth and success. “#Immigration #Community
