Fedi culture meta 

I've been posting a lot about Mastodon in the last days. Fact is, we're creating it together. Old users AND new.

My goal is to make the new users aware that we old users are often here because we HAD to switch away from the overload and hate of corporate social media, seeking the relative quietness and seclusion of the Fediverse. Many of us fear that if the climate here changes for the worse, we'll have to leave again.

It's about being inclusive. To old AND new users.

So far today, getting much more interaction from 100 followers on Masto than 1500 followers on Twitter...

I've seen a few people speculate that if Twitter doesn't survive the Great Muskening, it could be bad news for a lot of litmags (particularly the online-only ones). As well as the mags themselves finding new online spaces, I think all of us writers should try and support them wherever we can.

I'm currently running a request-to-join fediverse relay at relay.awoo.today - if you're a furry instance admin, please consider adding it, as it will greatly help smaller instances!

If you would like to add your instance to the relay, let me know, and I'll add your instance domain to the allowlist. Then, add your software's corresponding URL.

I will keep maintaining this relay for the foreseeable. Reach out to me with your instance, and I will add it to the allowlist so you can connect!

I just can't trust anyone who claims they know how the world should be run

"Mastodon admins can read your DMs!"

Twitter reads every DM you send. Every DM you send is run through their abuse filters and data aggregators.

If you don't trip some alarm your text is likely anonymized and shoved in some data farm for datasci purposes-- but if you do, your DM history might get flipped to some staffer to peruse for what they constitute "Abuse"

Twitter reads your DMs dozens, hundreds, or thousands of times.

If you ever find yourself thinking you're making bad tech decisions, remember that the music industry turned down Napster's offer of $1,000,000,000 for not killing them, plus royalties going forward, plus metadata the industry would still kill their own children to have today, plus a lock on digital music downloads likely stronger than Amazon has ever had or will ever have on ebooks. All on the theory that killing Napster would lock the file sharing genie back in its lamp.

Another #PixelArt daily done! :) Echoes of the past.

Tips for new Fedi users, fedi meta 

Do yourselves a favour and put Elekk, RedRoo and Monads on domain blocks. It'll save you a lot of headaches down the road.

hey Fedi, I went for a walk and brought back some pretty leaves for you 🔥
