Moved to viv@cybre.space @viv@witches.town

This is just too problematic to take in all at once. My ❤ goes out to those that experienced this and more at GitHub.

The next question becomes: where do I move my mastodon projects/code? I'm thinking GitLab may be the smart option. Input welcomed.

@typhlosion any time a trans person is on screen chat was spamming this https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CFu99b7WAAEgm4B.png

one person was able to get it banned from chat, which...well...we're on the internet so this shit happens https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/6l3u1g/gdq_bans_dansgamings_dansexy_emote_for_promoting/?st=j4p58hkv&sh=23200d08

Now, everyone who defends the banning has to have point-by-point debates with "Internet logicians" sealioning about intent and #notallspammers; meanwhile, transphobes get cover to continue to be horrid.

Like, fuck, it's the same fucking playbook. Every fucking time.

1. A trans woman makes a valid complaint about the use of an emote depicting a man in drag whenever trans women are visible during GDQ.

2. Chat moderators agree, and ban the use of the emote.

3. Nothing else happens for about 10 hours.

4. Someone who probably wanted to use it in that exact way finds they can't and starts digging.

5. They make a reddit post targeting the person who made the complaint.

6. The Internet happens.

Ideas I'll never get around to: a Mastodon instance where you can directly embed PICO-8 carts and Processing projects into toots

Wow. Photobucket just unceremoniously ended hotlinking for anyone who doesn't cough up $400 a year. Billions of images all across the web just became advertisements for Photobucket. This is unbelievable.

My login/password still work for now, so if you have an account and remember your credentials, I recommend backing up anything now. Who knows what'll happen next.

Everyone should also adblock Photobucket, especially if you frequent old forums, or you'll be seeing lots of these ads from now on.

You IDIOT.
In this world, it's surveil or be surveiled.

If you like #gameing and want Gamergate and its hangers-on to just go away forever, check out my Mastodon instance, https://elekk.xyz/ . Games of all types are welcome, and we've got no problem keeping it safe from assholes and the alt-right.

here's a good thing to tell school-age children: the textbooks they use to learn are made by people, and those people might gloss over or omit parts of the whole truth, accidentally or intentionally

basically just teach kids to be critical of their sources of info and ask really good questions
