@simon Should be a migration from #Fosstodon - I hope I've clicked the right buttons.
Hanging out on IRC tonight. #Fosstodon on Libera if you're bored.
OK I've set a reminder for myself to block fosstodon for next week (Friday June 13th). This is a statement not an invite for you to try and convince me otherwise or voice you shitty opinion on why that's wrong. It's clear they aren't interested in learning or changing so I'm done. That said, I know there are several people I follow or follow me who I would hope want better. So please consider moving instances if you'd like to stay in touch.
I need a few more gay bars and way less nazi bars in my fedi bar crawl
I hate to drag up Fedi meta on this account but...
Little PSA: If you or your project has social media accounts hosted on #Fosstodon, you should really pay attention to what's going on right now and consider moving.
If things continue as they are, there's a good chance they're going to start getting blocked by LGBTQ+ and other minority-friendly servers across the Fediverse. I'm not going to go into why. There are plenty of other people posting long threads with receipts that you can go read. But if you want to stay connected to those people, I suggest migrating before connections are severed.
anon account on masto.social created yesterday: hi, it's me, Mx. Snrub! and I come from... some social media website far away. (yes, that will do....) anyway, I say that Gina Fosstodon was stalked and harassed!
fosstodon mod: I like the way Snrub thinks!
#Fosstodon is an anti-LGBTQ+ instance.
Defederate.
there is no fascist problem in Ba Sing Se.
@playboicartifan696 a 1 day old account using charged language like "stalking" to describe legitimate criticisms of a white woman while using digital Black face?
Oof. Whoever this is, this is beyond the pale.
If you need to make a fake account to win an argument then maybe your argument is trash.
this post here is why I'm saying all this, and it proves that I'm right about people stalking and critiquing Gina https://social.treehouse.systems/@YKantRachelRead/114621640891631780
replying to a post with should not get you posted on Fediblock. Fediblock is for genuine fascists, not for ppl showing support to neurodivergent ppl.#Fosstodon
Instead of seeing Fosstodon as "fascists", why don't we just see them as people similar to ourselves? I use FOSS software and enjoy doing so, as does most of the #Fediverse. Let's keep things civil.
people can misinterpret things, and have the idea that someone else thinks the opposite way to how they think, when actually, they both have the same opinion. it's just interpreted differently.
context: fosstodon drama #Fosstodon
Seems like we might need to move the @archlinux account off from fosstodon. What is a good option?
Excellent podcast discussing research that indicates a third of people are predisposed to authoritarianism and what liberal democracies can do about it:

h/t to someone on a thread yesterday who recommended the podcast - sorry I can't find your post!
If you're thinking of leaving Fosstodon (there's another wave of defederations planned) and want to make the jump to your own instance without having to manage a Ruby on Rails app, I have been very happy with @mastohost
(if I had time, I would write a Mastodon server implementation in PHP as I think the current stack is overly complex and hard to host)
