@antifahnen Can't you pick one where configuring the shortcuts is possible? Then you don't have to re-learn them, won't break out of your flow...

@TQ@octodon.social Ah, yea, we only really publish in German. Well, perhaps we could first re-publish the other two, or mash em together, or something - before going into the cultural specifics of different instances (which I could still try to translate)?

BDSM 

Do any of you know good alternatives to "slave"? I dislike the word because of its colonial context. But I imagine a middle-aged man with grey hair and a tuxedo when I think "servant". I'd prefer a word that works well for an obedient naked queer boy with cuffs.

I made a second account over at Octodon so more people can follow me (and I them). The closed bubble on awoo.space is nice, but not what I want all the time. So follow me over there, too, it might become my main account!

@TQ@octodon.social @TQ Me too. Ich glaube ich besorge mir mal octodon.social, damit mir mehr Leute auch folgen können. Und bleib für social justice folks in der awoo.space-witches.town etc. Blase. ^^

@TQ@octodon.social Would you like to publish it on femgeeks.de? I am planning an article series about social networks (and their censorship), and an article about Mastodon would really fit that. (Already wanted to ask you after I read your medium post)

mastodong.social isn't taken, if anyone's trying to build a nsfw instance

just sayin'

Twitter brands:
Mastodon brands: witches, slime, awoo

Gosh, if Mastodon does nothing but piss off both Nazis and Tech Bros, then it'll already have been worth it.

Mastodon is what happens when technology is in the hands of minorities, who have waited way too long for other people to fix this shit, and just said "fuck it we are the cool kids in this place now and y'all Nazis can fuck off".

Software poltics / criticising Stallman 

Closed source is hypercapitalist corporate serfdom.
'Free' software is 'meritocracy' plus active friendliness to Nazis (because FREEDOM!!)
'Open' software is neoliberalism.

Software politics are boring but important. Too important to be left solely to software engineers.

Software poltics / criticising Stallman 

Watching GNU Social users freak out that Mastodon instances block Nazis, is well, everything wrong with the 'Free' software movement.
I always thought RMS's insistence on ABSOLUTE FREEDOM was a quirky Mad Max fetish, but as libertarian thinking has become dominant in American politics, it's become more concerning.
If his utopia is lberalism eating itself, this should have been a clue to be a it more wary, but frankly all software politics suck.

trigger warning 

@kunev Kinda doesn't work if you post the image normally without NSFW tag. CW alone doesn't hide it! ^^

test 

@aircooledcafe Yea, you have to manually tag it NSFW as well. Like in this test here.

@Alda@witches.town @NaHO@witches.town Haha that is golden :joy:
