While you're at the dinner table sharing leftovers — and political opinions — make sure you come in prepared with the facts to shut down some common election myths.

@freemo @Romaq Unfortunately, real life John Cleese is a transphobe. And not just any transphobe, but a signatory to an open letter supporting also hero-turned-transphobe JK Rowling in her transphobia.

@antares

Well put, this is exactly my stance... masks are fine whenthere is a huge pandemic and you need to sort things out short term... it isnt a solution for the future though.

@Pat

A small reminder that baby Puffins are called Pufflings! This toot is intended to bring some extra joy to your timelines today. As you were. 😊 #Toot #Puffins #Boost #Birds

With all this drama going on its no surprise that I keep thinking of this quote over and over....

(my own #calligraphy )

One thing trinsec noticed that is important here. Almost 100% of the replies on this post where this person is accusing me of more toxic bullshit... virtually all of the replies are in our support... I really appreciate that.

No surprise, now these toxic bullies from tech.lgbt are trying to have private conversations with me, which I of course indulge, and then quote whatever ammo they can use out of context and dump the rest...

It is amazing these people trust anyone who is so clearly **not** being transparent.

With the recent Fediverse drama going on, this image came to mind. Be careful about who you think to push over the edge, because you just might make it worse.

@Romaq

In general I agree with you and *don't* want defederation to happen unless absolutely necessary.

But mastodon.social shouldn't be immune to consequences just because the lead developer has a hand in it. Letting the codebase be held hostage in that way would defeat the entire point of the Open Fediverse idea. We should treat it like any other instance and consider it if things ever get bad enough to justify it - **but** in this case I think there's still room for communication and correction, and I hope things get resolved in a friendly way.

@freemo

Over on Twitter it’s like the Penguin is in charge of Gotham.

@Romaq Agreed, we need someone who isnt negligent running this shit.

My article has been updated to now include a public/official response from Eugen... Surprise surprise, he confirmed the article as true.

@digital_carver

Many threads mention me trying to get them defederated and link my article.. so people seem to have gotten that impression... But as I said that isnt my intent. My intent is to expose the truth, what consequences that has is on Eugen not me.

@Romaq

@Romaq That is something the community is doing. I have not asked nor supported the idea of defederating from M.S

@realcaseyrollins

LOL there was **no** change to our moderation policy... none.. go check the internet archive... actually the one thing we did change is we made our hate speech rules more explicit..

I think ill add to the artricle his reply and show the internet archive's change to our ToC to highly that the only change to our ToC was to add more explicit protections to the LGBTQ community.

@Gargron @serenebabe @ceoln

it's the foul year 2022. policy updates:

- using "Cc:" to send a mail to several other administrators in a federated network is considered a "mass-email campaign".

- tools are now forever tainted by the "evil spirits" of their creators.

@Romaq Thank you for your help. Should I have chosen a different server? I am not truly computer savvy. i.e. I can use it, but some terms are ??? You’ve helped a lot.☺️
