Well, ice set a date to delete my Facebook, giving people who give a shit time to contact me. But I doubt most of them give a shit.
i need to build up a dossier of credible articles that clearly show why it is important to leave platforms like birdsite, fb, ig, etc.
does anyone know of a possible collection of such articles (or links to) that I could use as part of presentation that would clearly show people why joining Mastodon and boycotting the corporate-based social networks is necessary?
it looks i'm on a local advocacy campaign for a local
instance again.
Dream Theater hates drummers and I will not back down on my stance
The Necromancer is an incredibly underrated prog rock suite, tbh.

A new brush set from @davidrevoy SVG support on vector layers, combined brushes, Python scripting and the spanking new Colorize Mask Tool makes this one of the most exciting releases yet.

Maybe purple? A deep, red purple?
My gripe with promoting Mastodon in the #deleteFacebook context is that Mastodon isn't really designed for Facebook's use-cases; it's designed for Twitter's use-cases (and to some extent Instagram's?).
Over at Aardwolf, we're trying to design something for Facebook's use-cases, but it's really slow going, and I'm frustrated at not having anything to show while Facebook melts down.

Designer thinking aesthetic is more important than usability... When will it stop?

@Gargron This is awesome, and I'll be sharing it widely. But, I also think now is the time to start talking about how we stop the likes of #CambridgeAnalytica / #Palantir from abusing the Fediverse's model, too. I work for scrapinghub.com - I can see how easy it would be to map and monitor the entire fediverse right now. From there to hyper-targeted fake profiles is a small enough step. How do we harden ourselves against #Twitter / #Facebook-style manipulation without damaging the social fabric?

Maybe when we learned that a 19-year old Mark Zuckerberg called 4,000 of his fellow Harvard students “dumb fucks” for trusting him with their personal information, we should have believed him the first time.

@Sylvhem oh so it is! I take it back!
I've been thinking the posts are unshareable all day.
Who exactly thinks it's good ui design to have the channel button be a darker, separate color from the rest of the post interactions?
