Just saw my fist poster that was accessible for vision impaired people and it is amazing, why don’t we all do this!

The #Fediverse and #Mastodon are experiencing some recent growing pains. There is a risk that developments could lead to the network fracturing into walled gardens of individual communities that are isolated from each other. There are also people who want to assert centralized control over the network. These dangers are described and a bold solution is proposed here:

The #groomer insult crowd seems to be very transphobic. They seem to assume #trans people are here to convert theur kids while this is not true at all. It really use the moral panic very well.

Ryle is now hospitalized after having a heart attack last night. Ryle asked the Awoo! moderation team to write a post on their behalf and to be transparent. The conversation was brief, and we have pieced together most of the details.

Ourselves believe the heart attack was caused by a combination of things, suspect the recent stress involving strong conversations around Fedifence, Fediblock and UFOI. The triggering message was in reply to one of the UFOI threads telling Ryle to kill themselves and with video footage of men brutally stabbing a woman to death. Ryle is unlikely to be around for a while.

Receipts of the post is available on request through direct message to: @Transparency

This material is heinous and will break rules of other instances, so we are only sending this instance administrators/moderators on request. They are free to share at their own risk the receipts.

DO NOT attempt to contact Ryle to harass, upset. The moderation team also now have full access to Ryle’s account, and ourselves will be actively removing any unpleasant direct messages left.

If the heart attack is discussed, ourselves ask that you PLEASE do not tag Ryle in the conversations. Replying to this message is okay. If you are going to discuss anything regarding Ryle otherwise, PLEASE do not tag Ryle on conversations that would cause stress.

#introduction Hi, first toot! I'm a scientist and secular humanist. I love reading (fantasy and sci-fi but anything really), clouds, timekeeping, moose, the 80s, and classic rock music. Causes include the planet, human trafficking, and US blue wave 🌊

@freemo @Gaythia @ufoi Hi, welcome to Qoto! Happy to see a fellow chemist! 👩‍🔬I’m fairly new here as well and I came in without much Mastodon background, but Qoto has been really nice so far.

@freemo @ufoi I didn't have a whole lot of background information on Mastodon or Qoto when I made my instance selection. But I'm happy to be supporting Qoto. I left the birdsite searching for something better and I feel that I have found it here on Qoto.

In 1933, Nazis led torchlit mob into the square and looted the library of the adjoining -Universitat. 40,000 people cheered as they burned over 20,000 books by mainly Jewish, communist, liberal and social-critical authors. Many years later, a panel of glass was set into the ground to mark the spot. It’s a window. Leaning over you can look into a room below. The room is white, lined from floor to ceiling with plain shelves—an empty library. The sort of world we’d live in if the fanatics had won.
