@david I don't think it would be because there's no way I know of it make it clickable, unless the screenreader separately recognizes it as a URL?

@Wetrix If Google includes news about the president's announcements to create new concentration camps, is that "censorship?" Is Google being "fascist" by not removing negative news results by our president?

I would hope the answers would both be obviously "no," but those are the claims of NaturalNews' article. "Don't trust what you read, the president does no wrong, private citizens and corporations taking actions is 'fascism' and 'censorship,'" and so on. That's supportive of fascism.

G'nite!

@Wetrix Just an FYI but a quick perusal of your profile shows that from my perspective, you're close to tipping alt-right yourself. That's great you find sites like Gab disturbing, but sites like NaturalNews.com are similar (and in fact, that one maintains a presence in the Gab community) in the important ways, and serve to normalize alt-right content and act as a funnel into further right views.

@LondonCalling Good notion but nah this was from when they first set up a Mastodon server, they imported all their old users and statuses to inflate their numbers.

It's true the instance is growing, and perhaps more rapidly than other instances today, but that's not quite what I'm looking at.

Hey someone @ me with that blogpost explaining how Gab made their numbers so big, with the screenshots of their forum saying they were doing it so they could say they were representative of the Fediverse.

Thanks.

I still accept donations at https://emsenn.net/support/

Until some other more pressing cause crops up, these donations will stay in my pocket. They'll go toward things like food and bills. Reminder that my dayjob pays me in free housing, so I'm reliant on donations from y'all to do things like pay for my email server.

I haven't used it in a while, but Matrix 1.0 is out now

@codewiz omg that first one made me snort-laugh

@codewiz

If you have a thought while stepping out of a chair and forget it 2 seconds later, and if you have a thought and post it and get 20,000 likes, they're both thoughts you had and both are equally valid as thoughts. I feel like it's easy to feel like we need to "register" our thoughts as posts for them to count as being part of us but like, no - it's all part of us.

And I think when "registering" a thought was something that cost transcription, a stamp, and a walk to the postbox...

@codewiz Haha, I actually can - I used to run a fake news site that made up some real humdingers!

But I'm talking about #Teraum, a satirical fantasy world I've been crafting in various forms and iterations since I was a real little kid, which - well, https://emsenn.net/docs/teraum/ has more info in the introduction, if you don't mind clicking a link to save me repeating myself
