Garg: “My people, what features would you like on mastodon?”

Users: “Instance only postings, better moderation tools, fixing the issue with invitation only instances not showing up, accessibility features...there’s a lot, but it’d make mastodon way better.”

Garg: “My people, I have heard your cries. Soon you will know how many people have replied to a toot! Behold my beneficence!”

I will never find it not ironic that TERFs like to call themselves some variation of “aunt” while telling everyone to read The Handmaid’s Tale and calling trans women “handmaidens of the patriarchy”

Tankies: “It was a natural famine that affected more than just Ukraine. “Ukrainian Genocide” is a Nazi lie!”

Reminder:

The problem isn’t that capitalism has failed or is failing. The problem is that it’s working as designed.

And in case anyone missed it on that last one

What if the reason it looks like the universe is expanding is because everything is literally trying get away from humans

When your rationale for calling someone “pro-capitalism” boils down to “they get paid for their labor,” your theory is garbage.

How much of the tv/movie scripts written by an AI that “watched 1000 hours” of whatever are actually AI-generated?

100 companies are responsible for over 70% of global greenhouse emissions since the 80s and the US military burns is the single largest consumer of oil, but sure. Personal choices.

Walk or bike to work once a week, wash your clothes in cold water, take fewer international flights, go vegan, kill your first born. These are easily accessible solutions for everyone that are sure to make a significant difference if not solve the problem outright.

In case anyone thinks the studies on us that “prove” that we’re real aren’t going to be used to gatekeep and discriminate, Contra did a live stream with RoamingMillennial, who said the studies suggested to her that binary trans people exist and NBs don’t.

Seeing people acting surprised that Gargron makes jokes about harassment and I’m just wondering if no one was paying attention when he was telling someone who @GinnyMcQueen blocked for harassing her that it was her loss for not wanting to deal with him.

He’s known for ages that people are dealing with harassment constantly and what’s broken. Is everyone surprised by this brand new to Mastodon?

Are there any downsides to just canceling techbros?

Once trending gets used to abuse people, will Gargamel say:

1) “No one could have predicted this and it’s too late to take the feature away since a lot of users rely on it. Admins just need to be more involved.”
2) “I don’t see how 3 hashtags in a box are responsible for this. You choose who you federate with and can mute or block problem users and instances.”
3) <ignores it>

“On the other hand, 3 hashtags in a box doesn't seem like a hill worth dying on.”

@Laurelai looks like he’s just closing his eyes and sticking his fingers in his ears. :\ Good thing he’s a “benevolent” dictator

How long before the solution to a platform giving abusers multiple methods to harass is to make a “harass this user” button that automates the process?

“I’m not a TERF!” She exclaims while arguing that it’s sexist to reject your birth assignment and state that cis people don’t experience gender

Tired: Abolish gender
Wired: Abolish cis people
