before you donate to patreon/mastodon, consider donating to your instance first, they probably need it more

it's confirmed that qoto.org used a fascist's tool to mass send emails to instances who suspend them for good reason. https://qoto.org/@freemo/109360881187600726

#FediBlock qoto.org if you haven't already

Heads-up for any folks on hachyderm.io: I would recommend picking a different instance, as it seems likely that it'll get defederated from quite a few places at some point.

They seem to not only be happy with corporate accounts[1], but also apparently seek to "introduce trust with corporations" [and draw them to fedi?], which uhhhh yeah no.

This is a space for people, not for corporations. Let's not repeat the errors of the FOSS community (that eventually led to near-total corporate capture of FOSS) by inviting corporations into our spaces, not even "as long as they play nice".

#TransAwarenessWeek

I keep thinking about this lizard preserved in amber from ~50 million years ago. I mean—they were just doing lizard stuff, fell into amber, and 50 million years later they show up on Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yantarogekko (via https://mltshp.com/p/1O7OJ)

trans awareness week? nah, let's do 365 days a year and also here's a theme park for it
