PSA: Before you defederate an entire instance due to Russian bots posting Nazi spam, check first to see if it's a Ukrainian instance and whether all the spam is from the last 24-48 hours or so. Russians are hijacking Ukrainian instances (sometimes during power outages) and posting Nazi spam to get these instances defederated. You can limit the instance and suspend individual accounts until the admins are able to clean up.

Hi! I'm new here. My name is Eva.

I'm 40 years old, married, and childfree. I speak English and German. I love dogs, old video games, and music. I still buy CDs.

I'm a long-time vegetarian, now vegan. I live in Florida. I have been working from home since before it was cool.

Nice to meet you all! #introductions #introduction

I’ve been making some more #papermache #birds. It was meant to be 3 #starlings, but as I sculpted them, one of them turned out to be a green woodpecker, and I was powerless to argue!

In the wake of the recent train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, Republicans like Marco Rubio are trying to rewrite history and somehow blame Pete Buttigieg for the disaster.

Now Pete is firing back with receipts and I am so here for it: https://www.comicsands.com/rubio-blames-buttigieg-ohio-derailment-2659455458.html?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=toot&utm_campaign=sand

Today is the 3-year anniversary of the murder of Ahmaud Arbery, a black man who was lynched while jogging in Georgia. Although his killers were (eventually) convicted, that isn't justice as it doesn't bring him back to his family or take away the terror that such hate crimes cause all Black people to feel. Cases like his are on my mind when I go for a jog. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Ahmaud_Arbery

I never eat at restaurants that say "just like Grandma made it" cause I'm not up for Vicodin and wig hair in my food

That awkward moment when your sweet Nana fondly recalls her days as a front-line warrior in the Sexual Revolution and calls you a “boring, annoying little prude.”

Connecting with you in the virtual world has been nothing short of incredible. Next week, my team and I are launching something I hope will be an exciting, more authentic, more meaningful way to engage with you all. Stay tuned. This is going to be BIG!

You: *changes profile picture*

Me: And we were once more strangers, unknown to each other across a chasmic void where names mean nothing and images, images sink into your soul but when changed are gone forever

There's a weird old guy sitting across from me at the restaurant just munching on a sandwich and staring at me while I eat. It's unsettling and... Wait... That's a mirror.

Me: Okay, it’s like Mastodon but it’s for porn. I call it The Spreadiverse.
Internet Venture Capital Person:
Me: Get it? Like the Fediverse, but you know, spread because . . .
IVCP:
Me: See, Spreadiverse refers to . . . you’re busy, I get that.
IVCP:
Me: I’ll just show myself out then. You have my info, Right? Good.
IVCP:
ME: Do you validate?
IVCP: (speaking into an intercom on the desk) Release . . . the . . . hounds.
