Sometimes awkward situations happen. Sometimes you fall out of love. Sometimes the gits hate on .

Remember that each instance is not just deployed software, they are communities. You can shape the culture of each instance to your liking. At least set ground rules so everyone behaves.

Believe me, if you ignore the fact your instance has a culture, the culture will form around you. Better you keep your hands in there too

Show thread

"The history of the political activities of men proves that they have given him absolutely nothing that he could not have achieved in a more direct, less costly, and more lasting manner. As a matter of fact, every inch of ground he has gained has been through a constant fight, a ceaseless struggle for self-assertion, and not through suffrage. There is no reason whatever to assume that woman, in her climb to emancipation, has been, or will be, helped by the ballot."

"The poor, stupid, free American citizen! Free to starve, free to tramp the highways of this great country, he enjoys universal suffrage, and, by that right, he has forged chains about his limbs."

"There is no reason whatever to assume that woman, in her climb to emancipation, has been, or will be, helped by the ballot."

Emma Goldman on the futility of suffrage.

because i read with my own two eyes an op-ed saying that the first couple waves of mastodon users were people who "couldn't handle opposing viewpoints" let me break it down for those who haven't figured it out yet:
