Warning for antifascists on birdsite 

Over on #birdsite, @efjbgc reports that #fascists are circulating a massive list of accounts which support #antifascism. They are using this to mass report people.

Hey I've been hearing a lot about ActivityPub could someone please tell me how it works?!?!?!?! THANKS!

re: Food (~-) 

@Phorm That doesn't diminish the flavor it brings to your enviably delicious holiday dinner, and that doesn't diminish the worth you graciously share with us.

May you have a blessed holiday in spite of the world.
