It’s funny, many of the “what you need to know about Mastodon” or “how to learn about the fediverse” pieces are focused on the technology and the implementation, when the hardest thing for people to understand about this context, if they’re used to traditional social media & tech, is that here we have an expectation of _consent_. Consent if you want to be included in a conversation, consent about being amplified, consent in the form of CWs on topics that you want to manage, etc. That’s it! 🎯

Deleting everything (except a signpost here) on the , I haven't felt social catharsis like this since I deleted F***book about 8 years ago.

Ukpol assault westminster 

Listening to the ever wonderful Naga on #bbc5live . Mp Charlotte Nichols saying that when she first came to westminster (very recently), she was sat down and handed a list of about 40 mps she's not safe to be alone with, not in a lift alone with, not to accept a drink from, cross party. She says there's a well established #whispernetwork in Westminster to help women navigate life as an mp without assault. What the actual. #ukpol #politics

Slap this in your console in your b**dsite "likes" page, and it doomscrolls itself unliking everything.

Until it fails.

I am both lazy and impatient.

```
const sleep = ((ms) => new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, ms)));
do {
var el=document.querySelector('[data-testid="unlike"]');
el.click();
await sleep(1000);
window.scrollTo(0,document.body.scrollHeight);
} while (el);

Me when I first learnt about type hints and type checkers:
Wow, so powerful for writing better, cleaner, safer code! Never again will I write
```
def f(x, y, z): ...
```
Instead, I shall write:
```
def f(x: Any, y: Any, z: Any) -> Any: ...
```
mypy reports no errors... we're good to go!
