The bastard who attacked the children's hospital.

⚡️ Ukraine identifies Russian general suspected of ordering strike on Kyiv children's hospital.

Ukrainian authorities on Sept. 10 announced war crime charges in absentia against Russian Lieutenant General Sergey Kobylash over a deadly strike against the Ohkmadyt children's hospital in Kyiv two months ago.

Hello, QOTO users, admins and mods!

I'm a Brazilian tech-savvy developer (actually, DevOps) and I'm also a writer-in-my-spare-time with an open and highly-active mind blending STEM, philosophy and esoterical beliefs (I'm an occult practicioner).

I was looking for Mastodon instances that:
- Allowed for more than 500 chars
- Welcomed writing styles such as surreal, Lovecraftian, esoteric, goth (not gore: goth/gothic) and stream-of-consciousness
- Welcomed illustrative AI imagery
- Had good federation with the majority of instances.

My search led me here, qoto.org. I can see that the char limit is indeed good and large (2^16-1). However, although the "About" states that QOTO is a instance "free to talk about whatever you want, say whatever you want, as long as it is legal, follows our rules, and you engage respectfully", does the instance really allow for AI imagery (which I often properly tag as "aiart") illustrating human-written "dark" (i.e. lovecraftian, memento mori and goth) poetry/prose (also properly tagged)?

I'm asking because generative AI arts are sometimes prohibited in places that see generative arts as "plagiarism" and "unethical" and, as much as I have a very open mind and positive views about AI, I can totally understand negative and critical opinions about them.

Same goes for "dark texts", depicting Lovecraftian-like cosmic forces, potentially triggering and sensitive concepts to some audiences, such as stories featuring demonic/dark divine entities (e.g.: Lilith/Kali, The Dark Mother Goddess) and nihilistic, surrealist and "memento mori". While I embrace the dark aspects of the cosmos, I totally understand that there are a sensitive aspect on them (not gorey or explicit texts, tho).

Finally, I'm asking because I want to unleash my hybrid (human texts with AI imagery) creativity while respecting the local (instance) rules.

I already have Mastodon account across two instances, one specifically for generative AI arts (where I post short poetry/prose I wrote, followed by AI imagery I generated) and other general-purpose (where I focus to post just the text without images), but both instances default to the standard 500 chars, while some of my texts (stories and chronicles) sometimes exceed 500 characters.

Finally, as per "about", I'm tagging admin: "Please don't hesitate to Direct Message me ( @freemo ) or tag me in Toots (what we call tweets here) if you have any questions"

So this year on 9/11, I would like to remind everyone that we are still under the emergency order that Bush originally issued in 2001, renewed by every president since.

Donald Trump has many faults but Harris is wrong-- it is better to negotiate with enemies than to support endless wars. #Debate2024

Friends, I need your help. I know that Instagram isn't the most popular platform on here, but I recently discovered that I need 10,000 Instagram followers before Meta will start paying me to post all the silly stuff I post on Threads. I am currently 4,183 followers away from that goal. Yikes.

So to be blunt, if you have an Instagram account and are willing to follow me on there, it would mean the world to me. Here is a link that I hope you will find to be most clickable:

Sounds traumatic, sorry you felt in danger, but I'm glad you took steps to responsibly protect yourself and your loved ones.

@freemo
The Bell riots in real life started on 7 October 2023 in the Gaza Sanctuary District, and the reaction is to turn the district into uninhabitable Hell on Earth.

@stux

Not sure how you are confused.. when you make something illegal that is used to save your life when someone is trying to kill you with a knife, it isnt a win that you eliminated gun deaths and replaced them with being killed by other means.

Much as when making vaccines illegal you effectively will eliminate all deaths via vaccine, but now replace those deaths with even more deaths from the virus itself.

Same thing, not sure why that concept would confuse you.

inb4 be sure if you use numbers you compare netherlands to itself both before and after a change. Any other comparison would be dishonest due to confounding.

@stux The people who praise replacing one gun death with 10 knife deaths by making guns illegal are the same people who never stood up to people doing evil who were capable and willing to kill you.

When you are the one people are trying to kill your opinion on guns changes real quick. I certainly never bothered owning a gun before then. Now I open-carry with a license.
