making your own echo chambers is ok sometimes

of course, you should pop the filter bubble every now and then. poke your head out of the hole to see if you can see your own shadow. but you shouldn't subject yourself to a 24/7 firehose of everything.

i used to be a fediblockoid but seeing the way it gets weaponized against neurodivergent people and transfems has me realizing that this was entirely foreseeable. its intention was good but that kind of doesn’t matter as far as what should be done about it. what i think ive come to realize is the internet is supposed to be messy. not in that anything should go or we should federate with everyone, but that actually making things safe involves a much more complicated approach than fediblock allows.

sometimes i do lick my wounds too much. but that's abuse ptsd for you and it's hard to heal from

what's important is that i'm trying my best and that i know there are people who can see that despite everything else, so i know it's real and can ignore those who disagree.

i don't understand people who pay for discord nitro other than to show off that you have money to waste on a company that runs a comparatively dogshit service with bugged as hell mobile ports and to create a caste divide with other people who aren't paying for it

does anyone have any remaining software/peripherals for the original Valiant Roamer LOGO turtles? Valiant themselves, being mostly direct suppliers to schools and not individuals, haven't been too helpful. we have one, but not the pen attachment, or the serial cable, and i'd like to put it to better use :boost_ok:

imo @mavica_again could make a living just about tech – and . i saw a series of Discord posts it made about Tec Toy (a South American toy & electronics company that basically bullied Sega and Nintendo into sweetheart deals in the 80s and 90s) and it was one million times more interesting than reading another white dude's blog post about maximizing productivity with Obsidian on the iPad or whatever. someone get it a posting more cool shit!

did you know: there are queer people online who can help you with or are interested in hearing about, your retro computers who aren't foone

foone turing is the linus tech tips of trans people (not a compliment)

i cannot stress enough how much I admire @mavica_again for its technical capabilities (not to mention its creative output, aesthetic choices, and ability to seed my brain with words that I can't stop saying aloud). You should follow it imo

hey, quick psa, the admin staff at elekk are abusive gaslighters who knowingly bullied my girlfriend off mastodon before over a private disagreement, encourage their own users to dogpile and harass people they don't like, and refuse to stand up for actual abuse victims. if you run an instance, you should heavily consider defederating from elekk, for the safety and happiness of your users

number one reason why you should join forums.transbian.love : it upsets the trolls so much that it exists that we get defaced and i can fix it in less than 10 minutes with just my phone because i'm that much of a badass and you need a badass like me to run a good trans community

and if you've ever wished for a return to forums, i've hosted lesbiaboard since 2018

it is first and foremost a queer safe space, but anyone who's ok with that is free to join and come talk to us about video games, tech or just cute things and food
