Hey real talk your stupid parody Trump and Hitler accounts aren't funny
The current list of servers toot.cat does not federate with:
rainbowdash.net, shitposter.club, freezepeach.xyz, social.headsca.la, woofer.alfter.us, social.au2pb.net, gorf.club, sealion.club, gs.smuglo.li, unsafe.space
Users of these instances are not necessarily "bad", but the types of content they allow run counter to this instance's CoC. If you feel like I missed any, or added one by mistake please let me know.
@eventi or just don't verify accounts? if you want to be official, get your own instance. e.g. be me@name.space or something
Mastodon Instance Count:
Sunday afternoon: 8 or 9
Monday 6pm: 31
Tuesday 11am: 71
Right now: 152
but yeah, so often in jobs etc I see one allist give another a totally vague task, they'll go along and do it wrong, and get congratulated
and then of course it was wrong so it doesn't *actually* work, but none of the allists can put the pieces together and grok that
(and so I get stuck with the totally thankless task of cleaning up their mess bc I'm the only one who even understands how it's a mess lol)
context: talking abt how social interaction is stressful like being given a task with ambiguous instructions. I said:
okay so allistics often *literally don't find that stressful*. they are just perfectly content blithering along doing things wrong. i suspect they feel the same way about social interaction. so often i watch them have conversations in which both parties think communication happened, but their perceptions of the content don't match. they just go on that way and have a fight later
PSA: If you are in the web view of a remote instance of some user or toot, you cannot directly reply/boost/fav.
But you can copypaste the URL into your local Mastodon server's "Search" field, then it allows you to interact!
Wasn't obvious to me, so maybe boost this if it helped you. :)
I just added all the "free speech"/"controversial content" (aka neo-nazis, alt-reich, etc...) gnusocial instances to the global block list. https://social.wxcafe.net/media/d76XECfh6MvImtiZVj0 Also read and reacted to all the reports, they've been dealt with.
tfw mastodon is so friendly that you relax a lot of your follow back criteria 'cause you don't have to be on the defense all the time 💖
Ultimately Mastodon's killer feature is that it's a public good that someone built because they thought it needed to exist and not a startup someone built because they wanted to get rich quick selling other people's data.
RETOOT IF GAY
hey did you know?
I'm not convinced Mastodon should allow editing... it's a harder problem to solve then it seems. What happens if you edit a post 5,000 people have boosted and change the message to something they don't agree with?
So basically every phone can be pwned over local wifi now :scream: https://thehackernews.com/2017/04/broadcom-wifi-hack.html Make sure to patch up. (Sorry, Samsung users)
@HedgeMage are you aware that appeals to free speech are in the Stormfront forum invasion instructions?
stormfront is a nazi forum. it's an explicit strategy of nazis to deny that they are nazis and claim that they have a right to harass people and "debate" whether or not marginalised groups deserve human rights.
@HedgeMage do you think nazis are acceptable and should be entitled to a platform?
hi i'm here, where all the cute antifa gay girls at
@HedgeMage and what is the justification for that policy? if a server is full of trolls and not being moderated effectively, why shouldn't admins step in?
relying on individual users to filter their own content, thus forcing them to regularly see and engage content that is offensive or harmful to them is the reason people prefer this to twitter.
@HedgeMage what do you consider free speech?
