important advice for trans women new to the fediverse 

Wash your makeup brushes.

What are the odds that twitter hq is literally, physically on fire at some point in the next week

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.

Great advice from Victoria Lam and @hypatia on practical steps you can take to secure your Twitter account.

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

meta, hachyderm, corporate capture 

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".

I keep thinking about this lizard preserved in amber from ~50 million years ago. I mean—they were just doing lizard stuff, fell into amber, and 50 million years later they show up on Wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yantarog (via mltshp.com/p/1O7OJ)
