Dear new WOC on the fediverse. You will not be protected from harassment on here unless you're a part of an instance that actively centers the protection of its users.

2, there's plenty of us on here that been around for a while and have been combating this for a time. We're here if you want to chat and our TL has plenty of receipts and is an archive on combating the whiteness of misogyny directed at women and femmes of Color."

@AmyDentata they gotta find new ways to dress up the same old shit to an increasingly hostile audience, kinda like advertising on tumblr

Howdy! I'm Grayson Bell. I'm an autistic, gay, trans writer of both queer fiction and non-fiction.

I have a collection of queer romances and erotic romances (#MMRomance) on Amazon and am posting a #scifi story on #KindleVella featuring queer main characters.

I also write about LGBTQ+ issues on #Medium, focused mainly on the #Trans community.

@nervous_jessica that's not an easy question to answer. mastodon dot social (and online) are big enough that their admin doesn't need to care if they get defederated, but of course the goal is to get them to deal with their moderation problems

i usually hedge, by maintaining multiple accounts, but that has headaches of its own.

with the flagship instances being as shitty as they are, it'll be a miracle if masto can get any black people to stay

Thinking about when the wall of the salt warehouse collapsed and it turned out to just be full of loose salt, like a child might imagine

normal things to do at 6:39 am on a monday:
nmap-scan your local network so you can find your label maker to make a tumblr meme

It's a heavy day for all of us.

If you are in a bad place for ANY REASON, or just need someone to talk to, I implore you to reach out.

parallel universe where instead of .social and .online there are 50 officially recommended instances for newcomers and they have good dedicated staff and are ready to expand

it was entirely achievable

yiff.life does have mastodon.social silenced. this will significantly reduce your reach into smaller instances if you are on m.s
