I hate to tell a lot of these quick trigger finger Fediblock people this, but it's true:
Fediblock should only be used as the nuclear option.
If you use it for things like, "Someone might do a bad thing," then you are diminishing its power.
Great to see Goodnight Oppy finally see its general release and the legendary @doug_ellison in the trailer on Amazon Prime. The kids already know what they're doing this weekend!

Oh dear god.
I don't think you, or he, realise just how many accounts this is. How far "not broken the law" goes when it comes to abuse and harassment online.
This would release an absolute tidal wave of toxicity that's not been seen off full-bodied troll forums.

Amazon Alexa is a “colossal failure,” on pace to lose $10 billion this year, https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/11/amazon-alexa-is-a-colossal-failure-on-pace-to-lose-10-billion-this-year/.
10’000 layoffs expected. Alexa is a failure. They don’t know how to make money with it, apart from selling the device itself.

If you see this toot (yeah this one right here), can you boost it for me? It will help my new server federate with the wider Mastodon network. 🚀 🙏

Marjorie Taylor Greene paid antisemitic and white nationalist haven Gab for “fundraising” in August
@Jrz813 @simonzerafa yeah i saw that, not great, doesn't alter my plans much due to the location of stuff. I could more do with the government or CAA writing down the rules regarding overflight of farm land.
Other drone qualifications can also get around this a little but it sucks for those wanting nice downtown shots

Hello Mastodon.
I am looking for new PhD students to come work with me at the Oxford Internet Institute in 22/23 (@oiioxford) to study the future of data privacy and digital rights, the impact of AI and algorithms on digital platforms, and help co-create better digital futures.
Boosts very much appreciated! 🐘

When I'm on the road, #gitpod is a great tool in my arsenal. Giving me access to a number of repos without having to cart all my machines with me to the hotel.
I need to be playing Canned Heat - On The Road Again.
Chilling in my hotel room in #Guildford watching the #NFL whilst learning some more about #Mastadon and hacking on my latest project
