@mergerson @matunos @nafnlaus @stanstallman @Empiricism The gaslighting really is appalling.

Here's an excellent thread from @Tinu ... it starts with

"I want to be happy here.

But my Black friends keep getting banned for doing justice work.

Or just... Existing."

I made Thanksgiving dinner and now the kids are crying and I'm not allowed to help anymore

Strawberries is one of my favourite things to draw! So fun! #MastoArt #illustration #DigitalArt

In which the excellent Sabine Hossenfelder (who should come over to the Fediverse) craps from a great height on the prospects for quantum computing: http://backreaction.blogspot.com/2022/11/quantum-winter-is-coming.html

Proposed resolution:

When Tumblr joins the fediverse by implementing ActivityPub, we should:
- Defederate Tumblr if they inject ads into the federation for our users, and
- Defederate Tumblr if they place federated posts (our posts) alongside ads.

No ads on fedi.

Last night I was watching a new a Netflix show, looked interesting.

Then the music reminded me of my favorite Netflix show “dark”. Then one of the dark actors showed up.
Turns out, it is the new show from the creators of Dark.
Still on episode one, but here it is, in case you loved Dark as much as I did: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1899_(TV_series)

@Mrfunkedude
I always say that the tamale is a perfect food.

First off —delicious.

Second, there is no wrong way to heat one up. Steam, skillet, toaster oven, microwave, a hot rock. Whatever you’ve got WILL WORK !👍🏽

My suggestion, spread this story to journalists and lets get some attention to it..

Here is the list of journalists on the fedi:

Here is the story:

You can also boost or link them this toot

I think what we really need to do is get journalists to pick up on this story....

Two things I learned growing up in a heavily Mexican dominated city in southern California.

#1. Abuelita is always right. You don't argue.

#2. Tamales go with every holiday. Xmass? Tamales. Thanksgiving? Tamales. Easter? Tamales. Birthday? Tamales.

I miss living there SO much sometimes.

Doing a bit of an experiment. Boost if you agree!

Trans rights are human rights.

Black lives matter.

No human is illegal.

Love is love.

Her body is her choice.

Science is real.

Kindness is everything.

So I decided to post the article I wrote (linked below) on twitter and am going to dump some money into promoting it there. Gotta get some attention to this. Go boost over on twitter if you'd like.

Eugen Rochko, CEO of Mastodon, Caves to Nazi's Agenda

I hesitate to boost this, because people only reading the headline might misread it as "someone is accusing Eugen of *being* a Nazi, which is either true or a melodramatic Godwinization" or "Mastodon is full of Nazis".

TLDR:

1. Our instance, qoto.org, came under attack by an actual, swastika-waving Nazi. Mastodon is by no means full of such bad actors, but they do exist. Freemo provides evidence and history of the attack.
2. This bad actor created enough disinformation noise that Eugen chose to delist qoto from joinmastodon to protect the reputation of Mastodon. This was a win for the baddies.
3. Debates over proper moderation and federation policies are complicated and can grow heated.

@freemo @Gargron @trinsec @khird #qoto

(Interesting thing I learned when autocompleting those tags: there are several accounts impersonating Eugen.)

lewd, eye contact

After hearing some feedback,a nd wanting to be fair in my representation, I have change the title of the article. It is now:

# Eugen Rochko, CEO of Mastodon, Caves to Nazi's Agenda

I think we can all agree thats a more faithful title.
