What do you call a bee that lives in America? A USB.

@stux Not much, just working on my video essay about a conspiracy theory.

I admire your courage, if you enter the lion's den and intend to confront it there. Wow.

I did some stealth looking around the periphery, and what I saw dismayed me.

Primitive discourse, manipulation, dangerous things, in my opinion.

I have to leave now, have a morning appointment and so sorry to leave a discussion hanging. But I will be back later and hopefully we can resume.

If people were respectful to each other, differences of opinion could be no obstacle to civilized conversation.

Be back later, guys. Have a great day!

Why small and decentralized is Best. Starting your own is possible. 

From the neat article about how Mastodon reacted and copped with the appropriation of it's software by a know extremist site (theverge.com/2019/7/12/2069195) which I posted about here last night, I discovered another nice one.

A gem indeed. Well written, thought out, focused, humble on its opinions.

I liked the whole article, and can relate it to my own past experiences in different places (BBSes, forums, DC++ hubs, etc) over the years.

Take a bit of time, turn off the distractions (silence notifications!) -- and delve into it.

"Run Your Own Social" is not only a case for starting and keeping a multitude of smaller servers/instances, but also it explains really well why Small is Beautiful and the way to go for best results in a social network, community building sense.

The author is the administrator of a small mastodon instance, and has been a Fellow on the Mozilla Foundation programme for the past year.

Hope you like, it. @salad_bar_breath , this is the one I mentioned a fw minutes ago.

@salad_bar_breath @design_RG Secondly, the upside of including Gab is allowing those on mainstream instances to confront the racist on Gab.

@salad_bar_breath @design_RG
1/ Well firstly there is a difference between pandering to the right wing and pandering to racists. And since there are other instances, like todon.no, that tend to cater to the left wing, for the sake of balance there should be one catering to the other side. (There's also a case to be made that Gab caters to everyone by allowing everyone to speak, but mostly right wingers sign up.)

I have the heart of a lion... and a lifetime ban from the San Diego Zoo.

This is beautiful btw. Wouldn't mind seeing it become the new logo.

there's no undoing the wave of protests erupting around the world. it's going to have a long lasting strong positive impact
