@mikebabcock The mastodon site claims that the network is “safe for all”. If the safety measures are used as a way to attack minoritized groups, then not only is the system not safe, but it’s mechanism for “safety” is being used to harm.

@mikebabcock, first, making a philosophical statement about someone’s actual strife is marginalazing their concerns.
Second, it’s unclear whether you considered who the person posting was, before responding. It’s easy to say “doing your best is all anyone can do” in order to shirk the responsibility of accountability. … (continues)

@yacc143 most of us can’t run our own instance. I’m not sure that suggesting that it’s the job of the oppressed to fix the problems is the best stance here.

@mikebabcock now might be a good time to educate yourself instead of asking someone else to do the work for you.

@i_jayas

@freemo that’s frustrating. Apparently we are also blocked by blacktwitter.io

Is there a way to add hashtags to one’s home stream?

@Gargron @khird @trinsec

@freemo @Gargron @khird @trinsec no. I just wanted to know from @Gargron what has changed.

Sorry, I’m not too good at addressing people on this app.

@freemo @Gargron @khird @trinsec
It’s listed on the servers pages. At the bottom it says “Safe for all” then the quote from my last post.

@freemo @Gargron @khird @trinsec I don’t get it.
According to joinmastadon.org:
“We can't control the servers, but we can control what we promote on this page. Our organization will only point you to servers that are consistently committed to moderation against racism, sexism, and transphobia.”
If qoto was listed before, what changed?

@freemo @Gargron @khird @trinsec what list were we taken off of?

@shriramk oh, the second a. I think that’s why I couldn’t find someone when I first joined. I thiught I was a pretty good speller.

@LuisaMarcelaPhD I can’t see anyone on types.pl because of the server I’m on. I feel like it’s much harder to curate who you see on this, but it’ll probably evolve and improve.

@LuisaMarcelaPhD thanks! Yeah, I guess the actual complaint was about mastodon links that are specific to the server. Maybe the link was to a message with followers only privacy. Not sure.

@shriramk typo?

@shriramk this was before you were on mastadon.social. You were asking on twitter about links on mastadon, so I checked for you.

@wilson @shriramkmurthi thanks!

Testing this for @shriramkmurthi can anyone who’s not on my host server qoto.org click this link? https://www.schooljobs.com/careers/wcupa/jobs/3773851/23-63-tenure-track-assistant-professor-of-computer-science?pagetype=jobOpportunitiesJobs
