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.

transition humor, food preparation 

I didn’t transition late I waited until I had everything in place to skip right to MILF. It’s called mise en place look it up.

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, docs.google.com/document/d/12p

Here's how to move accounts and take your followers with you docs.joinmastodon.org/user/mov

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

This is a polar bear who lives near Katovik, AK, whom locals have named “Fat Albert”. He is estimated to weigh 680 kilograms or about 1500 pounds. He benefits from locals offering the bears whale blubber in large quantities to show respect. He is perfect, to me.

Here is the codebase. If nothing else, if you wanted a foundation for a scheme-based activitypub system, you could start looking at this (one that could be packaged and usable by the Guix enthusiast crowd, even):

gitlab.com/dustyweb/pubstrate/
And the test suite:
gitlab.com/dustyweb/pubstrate/

The pubstrate repo is really three... no wait, four things:

- An ActivityStreams library
- An ActivityPub library
- An ActivityPub demo application
- An ActivityPub test suite

All of these were cobbled together by me under tremendous strain and without enough energy or support during the last year or so of the activitypub standardization process. There are, nonetheless, some good ideas in there, I think. It's probably not compatible with most current activitypub applications (and yes, that's an interesting piece of commentary itself), but it could be made so without too much work I think.

Does someone want to take over the old activitypub test suite? It's written in Guile scheme. I don't have time.

I can point you to the code and show you how to get it up and running. It needs work.

New SI prefixes just dropped!

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: ubiqueros.com/notes/97vj3h30hp
I was a w.e mod when this went down. it's all true; he's not exaggerating.

I made a little video demonstrating a live performance in my algorithmic music software.

It's integrated in my game Ynglet, and all the buttons/knobs I can turn, the game can adjust too based on the gameplay.
