@JulieSqveakaroo @Phorm @anthracite If that's the case. Then run. Run as far away from there as possible. Twitter is now a four-letter word to me. How can anyone still be using it, I have no clue!
@JulieSqveakaroo *squeakyhugs* Hehe~
@Momentrabbit Squeakyhugs!
NSFWish, Inflation
Here, have a big cheetah~

Whaat? No other options on Curious Cat? I don't like Facebook and twitter has gone downhill..so..
Paypal Anxiety
Someone attempted to break into my paypal account, although a quick check doesn't seem to show any unknown activity. That was a close one! Password and pin have been changed. Only question..what would someone from San Diego want with an account like that?

Thinking about what we do when the Russian bots and the Angry Brigaders come to Mastodon.
"We block them!" is the obvious response. Masto lets both #mastoadmins and users block/silence both individuals and instances. And that’s good for now. But what’s gonna happen when we’re big enough to get large scale attacks?
Should admins be automatically alerted if multiple folks on their instance start blocking a person? Or an instance? Or if, say, five different people on your instance blocked five different people from badactor.donuts? Hell, maybe you want to automatically defederate with badactor.donuts when that happens, and tell the admin so they can rescind the block when they get a chance to investigate.
This is hopefully a long way away from happening. But it feels like a thing we should start thinking about. How do we give people who are running an instance as a hobby the tool to quickly detect and deal with attacks?
(This probably also goes with my musings on "friend" instances potentially watching what each other block, and alerting their admin/autoblocking when enough friends are blocking the saame thing. It’s kind of the same idea on a lower level.)
@JulieSqveakaroo So you've joined the party too. Yay! *squeakyhugs!*
Anyone got a free, decentralized writing tool?

In the year 2040, humanity lands on Mars for the first time. When leaving the shuttle, and to their shock, the astronauts find a familiar red and gold flag planted on the surface. "SPQR"

Politics mention
I wish political movements would stop treating my brain like a punching bag. It takes a lot to annoy me, and now I'm getting annoyed.
Negative, venting
I can't keep up with all of this. It's like playing whack-a-mole with all this bad news. I really can't keep up, and it's all bad! You know the cliche with "Oh, I have good news and bad news, which do you want first?"
Never mind that, it's all bad! Which piece of bad news do you want first?
Well, I keep seeing the term SJW now applied to anyone who go against the thought that "White is Right". This supremicist view is spreading like a virus, and there's no cure for it!

@Siphonay This is why we don't need states. Capitalism too.

@Sangria How did you manage to get that list? :3
doctor who spoilers / anti-semitism
@celesteh Lazy Anti-semitism is the worst kind, I'd say.
@celesteh I don't mind. Might want to CW it for others. :3
@celesteh Wait, what? I didn't watch it, but..really? What were they?
