One serious downside of linking posts on Mastodon instead of being able to quote them is that you don't get a notification when someone does it so if someone does do a pile on it's likely quite a bit harder to identify the source and shut it down.

The size of the gates in Jurassic Park suggests they were always planning on letting the dinosaurs out.

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".
