In some customers service chat software the send button basically is a fake because the support agents can watch you typing in real-time anyway

Debido a la neurociencia, es posible identificar la parte del cerebro que reacciona ante nuevas ideas, la cual es la misma que reacciona ante agresiones físicas. Somos gente del neolítico cuyo cerebro toma una crítica, una negación, una reflexión aguda, del mismo modo en que se recibe un golpe, respondemos agresivamente, estamos condicionados evolutivamente para hacer eso.
Por eso el pensamiento crítico es amenazante, y el emisor es considerado un enemigo que debe ser invalidado.

Hey #Fediverse. When you post pictures, please please please with puppies on top fill in that description box for the visually impaired. You will be helping us out tremendously. We want to enjoy your pictures as much as others do. You don't have to write a novel, but just fill in some details.

Thanks with much love:

If you're an instance admin, you might want to block 101010.pl entirely. They seem to be hiding a JavaScript crypto miner on their site: https://functional.cafe/@phoe/100544940043503194

The greatest challenge for Mastodon now that it’s getting mainstream attention is to figure out how to resist “embrace and privatise”.

Tomorrow Google announces Gastodon. What do you do to stop it becoming Gmail?

Suggestions:

1. Push for instances of one

2. In order to make instances of one viable, simplify the complexity of the app itself: the lighter it is, the less dependencies, the easier it is to host. Installation should be no more difficult than sudo apt install mastodon
