Ok, it's been 3-weeks since I've joined Mastodon and here's my take away so far:

1. White folx prioritizing their fuckin feeling OVER their IMPACT of their racist behavior

2. I'm thankful that I was strategic in joining the instance I'm on because, due to their efforts, they've DEMONSTRATED their INTENT to prioritize voices like mine

3. As a Black women, there's no truly safe space for us

For comparison just @FSF thanks to #RMS 's conference in Brno, Czechia in MUNI with the help of free software advocates were able to basically replace proprietary software in education institutions state-wide and all that for next to free.

I took all the domains from https://fediblock.neocities.org/ block list and put it in a csv file that can be imported so you can block all hateful instances.
Download it here

How to import

• go to settings
• click on import & export
• click on import
• under import select domain blocking list
• then select the csv file you downloaded
• click upload
  Boom a friendly mastodon & fediverse experience

A reminder for anyone new to mastodon who might not be happy with some of the racist and bad actors out there on other servers... Just import the fediblock list to your personal blocks and you will be safe from the vast majority of bad actors.

“It is a very serious matter for democratic countries to spy on their politicians, or their journalists – and to do so for years. It’s a grave abuse of human rights” - rapporteur @PieterOmtzigt, opening today's PACE #spyware hearing.

@twotwenty Hi I enjoyed so much reading you, Im from Argentina and I been curious about another social networks because I was bored of the usuals but I didnt considerate everythinh you re saying. Thank you, I think that too and want my friends to join this platform too 🌎

Obligatory reminder, to everyone working on #FOSS #FLOSS #opensource projects

You're making alternatives because the status quo is BAD!!!! Don't use corporate platforms to promote your "Free" projects.

You are inadvertently forcing others to also use those platforms, which we all want to escape from!

If you insist that you go where the people are, at the very least maintain a presence on the open alternatives, so we can migrate away from them.

Please and thank you!

Please Boost!!!

When I moved to Mastodon from Twitter 7 months ago, there were things that blew my mind.

You can have interesting conversations with just a few dozen followers, who actually read what you write and click links.

If you ask questions, you get answers and feedback. No need for 100K followers.

The algorithms don't bury your posts that contain links, because there are no algorithms.
