Also, a warning to others looking for a #Twitter alternative:

DO NOT use Tribel Social. I looked into it and their Privacy Policy is bad. They collect a lot of unnecessary information from your device, including IMEI numbers.

#Newbies, it might we worth passing that along to your friends. I know a few accounts on Twitter are really pushing it as an alternative.

Edit: this is late coming but I wanted to add a pic of the policy. #TwitterMigration

Fedi Meta, Subtoot 

Being indigenous and/or putting hammer and sickles in your bio won't save you from your own narcissism and abuse enabling behaviour.

Communism is about actual community-building, hierarchy-demolishing and mutual aid, not being an insular prick who can't exist outside of spaces you have total control over while continuing to associate with and defend a serial harasser.

But it's okay because apparently you're more ☭ than anyone else, according to your profile.

Someone didn't do well in English class, huh? :blobrollingeyes:

Elon Musk, historic white-knighting for him on fedi, me being petty 

I wonder if all the dickheads who jumped into my mentions to defend Musk's honour when I said I thought dumping a car in space was just a wasteful publicity stunt, you know, regret the error?

Looking at you, Balint. :blobcoffeeunamused2:

I'm grateful that my community of black queers is what fills my cup and let's me fill theirs too

RT @maplesbian@twitter.com

"actually what i mean when i say i miss forums is that i miss when it was a dominant culture etc" that is not going to change if everybody just keeps saying "i miss forums" and ignoring the forums that did survive or get newly created. only we can restore that culture

RT @maplesbian@twitter.com

forums never stopped existing. IRC never stopped existing. you can host your own website for cheap or even free depending on your needs. quit twitter. you're the only one stopping yourself.

Hey @Draekos nice kussy (kobold kussy (kos pussy) )

re: on burnout, succession plans, and starting projects 

@FreyaManibrandr Yeah... I was Kind Of A Big Deal in the NES Speedrunning community and experienced very similar. Eventually the two people who did everything stopped doing it, and so did the entire community-- except for the parts that began power struggling.

Alas.

remember - a good alternative to social media in the event of a collapse, and a good way to grow community in your local area, is to literally just go round your town and put up stickers about your day to day life and musings

It's not for #blackmastodon to solve the problems of the fedi

And the few that have been here (me, ro, melanie, alice etc etc) and tried --were left picking up pieces while other servers get to gallop into the Taylor Swift aesthetic moodboard of their dreams

Please. We got bills to pay

on burnout, succession plans, and starting projects 

Speaking as someone who is extremely unreliable for any consistent task like running a community: If you're going to start something other people use, have both a permanent succession plan, and backups for your roles.

You may wake up one day and decide you don't want to do (or can't) this any more but people rely on your service.

You may run out of spoons for weeks but still have duties to perform, and forcing yourself to do them because there's no backup may bring you back the not wanting to do it any more.

You may end up incapacitated suddenly somehow and need to enact either plan, or both.

But more importantly, having those in place means if you're worried about burning out and giving up, at least what you build will continue if it happens. That alone can be a comfort.

I'm posting this more to give myself permission to start things I worry I'll stop more than anything.

tumblr trolling twitter 

Ok, I know Tumblr may still be Problematic™, but they're doing some S-tier trolling here

my art, ec 

i actually drew this a month ago but neglected to share it here !

:sparkles_trans: :sparkles_trans: :sparkles_trans: :sparkles_trans:

just so y'all know i won't be at cohost or at mastodon so in case twitter ever meets a demise i will not find you on either of those platforms and if you don't want to follow me elsewhere we might as well be parting ways lol

my contacts: maple.pet/about

Fedi Meta, Subtoot 

Nope, not dealing with anyone associated with Nitecrew. You might as well tell me you endorse Monads, Elekk or Myasstodon.
