Actually, you don’t have the right to dictate how other people see reality. A man is free to say he’s a woman. I am also free to say he’s not. That’s how freedom works. https://twitter.com/ewarren/status/1184607328898813952 …

Since this is an era when many people are concerned about "fairness" and "social justice," what is your "fair share" of what someone else has worked for?

Democrats hate Tulsi Gabbard because she reminds them what they used to stand for

Was just looking at the new #QOTO listing on joinmastodon.org

Looks like other than mastodon.social we are the largest English speaking instance listed. Kinda cool.

Just wnt to update everyone. I just heard back from @Gargron@tooting.ai / @Gargron@mastodon.social and our server submission request on joinmastodon.org has been resolved. #QOTO is now listed on the official server list.

I much appreciate Gargron taking the time to address the back log and it was handled very fairly and respectfully it seemed.

As you know they did ask if our server protected people in the trans-community, I think that is an amazing goal to have so I dont mind the question. Luckily our history of mutual respect for all people and all groups made the case for us I hope.

Thank you again Gargron for the amazing work you do.

The cycle continues:

1. Democrats accuse @realDonaldTrump of XYZ

2. Evidence finds that not only is Trump innocent of XYZ but that Democrats are the ones ACTUALLY guilty of XYZ 🤡

3. Elected Republicans do absolutely nothing

4. Democrats move on to next hoax.

Only 12 Years Left Until Experts Change Timeline On #GlobalWarming Again

"If we don't take action, then in 12 years we will have to explain why the world hasn't ended and come up with a new number," one UN scientist warned

The scientific consensus is that roughly 10-12 years from now, the world will be flooded with new doomsday predictions. This can all be avoided if we overhaul the economy and become socialists, according to non-political, unbiased sciencey type guys.

If you are ever considering starting a non-profit on the Mastodon platform, DONT, here is why.

About a month ago I received a little less than a 10K donation to fund the QOTO effort (A space of distributed and federated services for open-source projects and project owners). The mastodon component is intended to be the social media aspect of that to replace the need for facebook or twitter accounts as a home for future software projects.

I reached out to the joinmastodon, the organization behind the Mastodon project, because I wanted to forward some of those donations to the mastodon coding efforts, as well as potentially offer additional donations to fund specific features on the mastodon to-do list, however after more than month of trying to reach the organization through e-mail as well as contacting @Gargron directly there has been nothing but complete silence.

This in turn has myself, as well as the donors, seriously dismayed about the future of the project. Unresponsiveness, particularly in the face of contribution or donations to a project, has myself and others worrying mastodon is a dead or dying software. At the very least it means bug fixes and other contributions never make it since contacting the team is a near impossibility.

I am now in the position of reaching out to the developers of competing ActivityPub software and seeing if we can use the donations to pay them to write a complete fork of mastodon, with my own contributions as well added on top.

What a mess, its such a shame that a project with so much potential is going to die because of rampant mismanagement. The in ability to even respond to basic email.

I hope I'm wrong but after a month of all communication channels being dead its time to reevaluate where to go from here... But it is clear mastodon is NOT a technology I recommend others adopt as part of any new project.
