Bad instance idea: Cursed Amnesia servers
1) All users must behave and present themselves is a non-identifiable way
2) any user reliably identified will be suspended from the user, they can always open another account
3) Server will change its URL once a day, currently registered users will get an email of the new address
4) when the address changes all handles of users are automatically randomized. Login will remain the same but it will appear as a fresh new account with no posts or followers. The old account will still remain as will your posts.

This is the most perfect thing I've ever seen. That marine blocking that violent-leftie pretty much sums up my stance :)
@Surasanji @arteteco By the way side note. I've been reaching out to famous STEM oriented people on twitter and asking their permission to mirror their accounts here. I figure this might get us some free attention through asking, but also lets us improve the content here and list the bots as "official" mirrors. In all cases I give a password to the individual (though im not sure any of them would login).
I'm trying to be very selective and only add people who agree. I also make the accounts unlisted.
Man I hope they do the final season of Game of Thrones soon. It's been several years since the last season, will they ever finish the series!?

Hey, fediverse, I'm looking for resources to help a friend. #AdviceWanted #autism
She's autistic and has been struggling to balance her responsibilities with the things she enjoys. Her enthusiasm is one of her best qualities, but lately she insists that she can't like anything without it becoming an "obsession" that gets in the way of other things.
Consequently, she's become afraid to have an interest in anything at all. Does anyone know some autism-supportive resources to help her?
While I dont like a **lot** of the accounts on gab some have so far been decent people (I admit they seem to be a minority, but they do exist).
With that said can we all take a moment to laugh at the irony in this post: https://todon.nl/@isolategab/102726521356479333
Literally a movement who's entire purpose is to intentionally create an echo chamber by defederating from anyone who doesn't hold their political beliefs, and then cite the very reason for doing so was in disgust of how the other side is an echo chamber.
Do these people even hear themselves I have to wonder.
Lets help Hong Kongers defend their homes!

@Rovine @freemo Ooh, I did a presentation (and get to give it again next week!) about some cool CSS tricks and why they work, including this feature of margins and why they collapse.
Need to update them, and the slides themselves tell very little, but here they are if interested. https://slides.com/wolfpaw/power-of-css/
Thanks @freemo!
Not many news actually, but my engagement with the Italian #PirateParty is draining the vast majority of my energy.
I'm wondering if #hackers should have their own parties, focused on spreading knowledge and making real things, not just talking... and talking... and talking...
Really, it's heart breaking to see what they are doing to the "Pirate" part of the Pirate Party.
I mean: they not even try to fight #Surveillance!
I keep listening things like:
> I second the algorithms!
> You lack the moral flexibility required to be a policy maker, go back to be a voter!
from the people accountable for social media...
Man I've gotten so little sleep this week... Writing a brand new #cryptocurrency isnt easy work.
Seems I had to unfollow virtually everyone from spinster sadly (I dont block or mute usually though since I'm a mod). Virtually 100% of the posts and boosts I see from there is some anti-trans nonsense. I really have no interest in seeing that sort of bigotry in my feed.
That said I havent seen them actually seek out and harass trans people, as far as i can tell they mostly keep to themselves. So, i guess thats something ::shrug::
What feature would you like to see the Admin's at #QOTO add to our mastodon instance next?
If you don't see what you'd want in the poll just comment it down below instead.
