Hi friends! I'm matching donations to RAICES this month up to $32,000.

That's an ambitious limit and I could use your help reaching it -- whether or not you can donate, I would really appreciate your boosts!

To have me match your donation:

1. Donate any amount at raicestexas.org/donate
2. FORWARD your email receipt to raicesmatch@finn.fun.

Posting a screenshot is also encouraged, but forwarding receipts will help me track what I hope will be a lot of email!

Thank you!

we're all kinda weary about trying to report things, I think, since we come from a space where reporting issues gets you nowhere. not even a response, in many cases. but it's different here, if you're on a good instance (or sending to one).

we need to come together and point out these problems when we spot them, instead of just assuming they'll go away on their own, or that it's better to block and ignore. reporting may do nothing some places, but not reporting will /always/ do nothing.

the longer twitter is down, the higher the chance that a given twitter user will make a mastodon.social account, make two toots and then leave forever the second twitter comes up again

instance block psa: new gab instance 

please block both sinblr.com and cyzed.com

the sinblr admin has seen fit to set up a gab instance and is letting gab-types run about on there

other than the fact that the donate link on cyzed directs to sinblr, you can see that they're hosted by the same person here: archive.is/yDSV6

masto devs and many admins have had problems listening to people of color since day one. certainly it precipitated the first significant active user exodus i remember.

It’s honestly so frustrating to find out just how much of the FOSS community belongs in a trash heap. The lack of empathy, of a sense of ethics beyond free software, is startling.

No one:

Me: you know it turns out that quote-tweets were actually a killer feature and the lack of them on Mastodon kind of hurts the ability to create positive conversations and commentaries around ideas and concepts and while I agree that there’s lots of opportunities for abuse I think that the fedi and strong moderation provides the means to prevent hate and hateful quote-toots from being the dominant form of diegesis in the community

Neofeud is a game about my experiences growing up in Hawaii's ghetto, being a social worker & STEM teacher for poor, homeless, refugees, mostly non-white kids in slums of Hawaii the tour buses avoid, while living out of a van. 100% of sales go to putting a roof over my kids' head.
