I have written up everything I know about #Inkitt and #NaNoWriMo here. Because this is a problem. I am so tired, but this is a problem, and I don't want anyone signing over their book because they read about this too late.

I hate to have to write this, but this needs to be a PSA: #NaNoWriMo is promoting a scam in their "Winner Goodies."

Do NOT sign up for Inkitt.

Go ahead and search "Inkitt scam" for at least a dozen reasons why.

They are predatory, they will take your first-pub rights, and they will profit off of you while giving you less exposure than you would get posting your whole damn book on your own social media.

DO NOT DO IT.

Being forced to carry a pregnancy to term is wrong, even if you provide afterwards for the child to be adopted, or give the mother support to or anything after the birth, because being forced to carry a pregnancy to term is wrong in the first place.

Forced birth is involuntary servitude. I’ve been asked many times why I think Republicans want to control people’s bodies or why they won’t support basic needs like healthcare or livable wages. It’s because this is their desired outcome. More poverty is a bonus for them.

If anyone sees my #AudioDramaSunday posts and there are shows I could be tagging and I am not, please let me know? I’m sure I haven’t found everyone who has come over to mastodon already, and there’s more every day...

I want to make a test on the % reach a post can have in terms of people in other servers. Are you seeing this post on mastodon.gamedev.place or another server? (Appreciate if you can boost this).

The password manager LastPass has suffered another breach, and this time customer information was affected. https://www.pcmag.com/news/lastpass-suffers-another-breach-and-this-time-customer-data-is-affected

I’m not sure I’ve mentioned it, but one of my favorite “hidden” Mastodon features in the user interface is simply typing the character “?”. It opens up a list of keyboard shortcuts that make a lot of the features I always wish I’d had available. #FediTips

Do you have any accounts on here you would recommend that are based in Asia, Africa or South America?

At the moment Fediverse is very much Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand.

Would be nice to get people from the rest of the world noticed on here!
