Allowing oppressive language 'you disagree with' isn't encouraging free speech, it's encouraging the use of tools specifically designed & used to silence the speech of marginalised people.

another srs post here, wont be long:

we are happy there are more folks here but FYI newbies, Mastodon's community was founded by gays, trans folx, POC, furries. Not only do we take no BS from Nazis, we won't have you ruining this place for us.

YOU ADJUST TO US. Mic drop 🎤

email wouldn't have the massive staying power it does if it weren't open to federation
we figured out how to deal with the issues that came with it

The more I think about, the more I kind of like having multiple platforms for the same social media identity. It allows me to keep twitter for... well, exactly what it's good for:

Terse commentary and easy snark. Current affairs and outrage boosting.
Sustaining a loose affiliation with people in my line of work, and developments in that field.

Whereas here, of course, I can develop a parallel and expanded persona while not dissociating one from the other.

The medium is me.

I'm at the Mastodon

I'm at the awoo.space

I'm at the federated Mastodon and awoo.space

Awoospace is my after dark account but only in the sense of wanting to take naps and snuggle

Contemplating how to go about building a patreon fund for our staff who need the money

Anyone have any advice for this kind of thing? Do I need an LLC or something like that to distribute funds without any US tax burden?

a final point i'll make about critically engaging with how you distribute and exercise your resources is this parting thought: gargron isn't the only person who has put or is putting work into this website, but he is the only person getting money out of it. if you can boost his patreon, there's no reason you can't boost mine too.
