please do not waste my time reporting my users for "lacking general quality", it only makes their posts worse

A group of owls is a called a "parliament".

A group of cishet white guys is called a "podcast".

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

Again, there was an international meeting of Anarchist, you may have heard of it; they started that meeting by defining what anarchism is. One of the very first lines in the record of that meeting is "first you must be socialist."

If you're an "anarchist" who isn't "socialist" you're not an anarchist; and most libertarian philosophies that aren't anarchist, are in fact reactionary - fascist if you will.

This isn't my problem; I'm a socialist and anarchist. I fit the description.

During this particularly stressful shopping holiday, I’m reminded that the biggest economic story of our time isn’t about supply and demand. It’s about institutions and power. Here’s everything you need to know about the new economy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMmH_2EYohQ

Interesting example of how a #MastoAdmin could run afoul of the EU's #DSA by preemptively suspending an account based on who they are prior to committing a rule violation. #ContentModeration #Admin https://r.algorithmwatch.org/nl3/s0puvOqTh8sH4ZdLtomVHQ

Scam Alert!

If you receive an email or response on Mastodon like the following, DO NOT click the link. It is a scam fishing for login details at the very least.

"Mastodon has detected botting malware on your PC that is congesting the Mastodon network. All affected accounts will be suspended within 24 hours unless removed. _https://REDACTEDLINK"

#ProTip: every #Mastodon account auto-generates an RSS feed, so friends & colleagues who refuse to join can still reap the benefits of you sharing natively, here ~ they can subscribe to it from any feed reader and always be up-to-date ~ you can do that, too: https://mastodon.social/users/ChrisPirillo.rss is my feed link (there's also a .atom feed for those who care) ~ change the domain & username and you should see yours, instead ~ just like the good ol' days of blogging ~ #SocialMedia #help #fediverse

A short message from the Kurdistan university of Sanandaj to the outside world #Mahsa_Amini #iran #kurdistan

Hi everyone, please join me in telling @GIMP to change their name.

I put in some rules on #cyberplace, this instance, which may be uncomfortable for some people. It's only for this instance, and it's to make the wider Fediverse feel more comfortable with us around.

I just had a horrific thought:

What if, as part of the simulation, we're all NFTs?

What if the universe is just some cryptobro's ludicrous cash grab scheme? Are they looking at the simulation and going "Holy crap, our NFTs invented NFTs! We're geniuses!"

Suddenly this all feels like a horror story.

What I find appealing about #mastodon is that it feels like the blogosphere circa 2002-2008. It was a unique time & style that brought new people into a public discussion.

Eventually the bloggers I followed became mainstream journalists - a success in many ways. But with the rise of viral algorithms, there was gap in homegrown sharing of ideas.

So I started reading about the history of blogs and found this post insightful.

I was once stuck at a job due to a H1B, and let me tell you it's fucking miserable.

Recruiters, please start reaching out to folks still at Twitter. They'll be unusually receptive.

Hiring someone with a H1B is *trivial*, last I heard it cost $6K and took two weeks
