Nov 22nd marks the 35th anniversary of the Max Headroom Incident, if anyone's keeping track :D

"Naming it Honeypot is too obvious... Name it Hive instead..."

There was a terrible misunderstanding, and in an attempt to solve the four hardest problems in computer science (the other three are naming things and off-by-one errors), the cryptobros thought they'd nailed cash invalidation.

Trivia: "RAID is furry for backup" came from Yerf. Or rather, from what survived of its sudden destruction.

7 things all kids need to hear

1 I love you

2 I'm proud of you

3 I'm sorry

4 I forgive you

5 I'm listening

meta, mastodon.social 

I've seen multiple examples now of mastodon.social moderation not just not giving a shit, but actively making decisions that favour hateful shit, racism, and queermisia.

This is getting a lot worse than the "basically no moderation at all" problem it already had for years. Now it's "actively harmful moderation"

If you see this and are on mastodon.social, please try to find a new instance. I'll help you if you need help.

"RSS is dead!"
No.
Google Reader is dead.
RSS is alive and well.
Podcasts are literally RSS.
RSS is for every kind of content.
RSS readers exist for every OS.
RSS never died.
Only the walled gardens told you it died.
Spotted in a Mastodon profile:

I can't help but notice many toots from helpful newbies encouraging you to support the Mastodon Patreon.

It's fine to do that but understand it goes to just two big instances and the official Mastodon dev team.

It does NOT trickle down to YOUR instance. If you want to support your server, donate to it directly. Nearly all the costs of the explosive growth of the past few weeks is borne by local instances.

Mastodon is decentralized. There is no Mastodon Inc. This is not Twitter.
