@noracodes i ended up learning rawtherapee, but i would interested to hear how it ends up going with darktable
@puppy wherever you end up i would totally follow you, fwiw :)
@puppy it's one reason why i ended up moving for the most part. things are changing so fast that even when i request an instance apply here, it's a pretty low priority
@puppy 90% of the time it means they're not on the awoo whitelist
Man, think about all the regular users who aren't obsessed with #Twitter, and have Linktree in their bio, or run a small business and tweet things like "please follow us on Facebook!" Imagine being normal and getting banned for that lmao.

@Lacci because, courts
I've created a small, incomplete, list of instances with moderators of color.
The list and suggestions became to much to keep up on my own, so here is a Google document, https://docs.google.com/document/d/12pTmSMpq8lMYyYlHT25DgTmdMmE6ysUyRHGiq-E4XdQ/edit?usp=sharingp
Here's how to move accounts and take your followers with you https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/

The longer I work as a historian the more I keep reconfirming that one of the top rules of history should be: "Always look up everybody's mom."
*So much* that doesn't quite make sense makes more sense when you look up mothers and sisters and the connections that get left out! #histodons #histodon #women #genderhistory
@nervous_jessica I'm so sorry

racism? on *my* fediverse??
I'm a white person who's been on the fedi for 4 years. I witnessed the rise and fall of PlayVicious.social (aka "PV"), an instance that was thoughtfully moderated by an all-BIPoC team. it was a nexus of brilliant, creative, funny people who made the fediverse a better place. and then it shut down, and so many Black and Brown people gave up on this place as a result. it was a huge, huge loss.
why did that happen, you ask? I'm gonna let Ro (former admin of PV) tell that story, because it's come up again recently: https://ubiqueros.com/notes/97vj3h30hp
I was a w.e mod when this went down. it's all true; he's not exaggerating.
NEW Investigation:
A Unicorn Riot investigation uncovered dossier records from a privately curated database of Romani people in the US, and a web of training programs; many of these have been canceled due to pressure from activists and concerned citizens. https://unicornriot.ninja/2022/police-use-private-database-to-id-racially-profile-roma-in-us/
