Statement on “Join The Fedi” jointhefedi.com is a website owned by known “gender critical” activist Alex Gleason. The domain name and SEO is clearly designed to appeal to individuals curious about the fediverse, and potentially take traffic from joinmastodon.org. Unfortunately, Gleason does not have the best intentions when it comes to helping the fediverse grow. Gleason formerly contributed to other fediverse projects, before being removed from doing so due both his behavior and poor code quality. This is a problematic individual, recommending problematic services.
Join The Fedi has an explicitly right-wing agenda and seems to only promote instances which either a) run the “Soapbox” front-end software created by Gleason himself or b) advertise themselves as “free speech” instances. As of right now, the site actively recommends the following instances:
- poa.st (blocked by Howlr for harassment)
- Spinster.xyz (blocked by Howlr for transphobia)
- Shitposter.club (blocked by Howlr for harassment)
- Gleasonator.com (blocked by Howlr for transphobia)
- Freespeechextremist.com (blocked by Howlr for hate speech)
In other words, Gleason is using the site to promote his own agenda rather than simply gain more users into the fediverse. This is not a site that should be recommended to new users. I would recommend using https://joinfediverse.wiki/ instead!
Thank you!

get you a man who looks at you the way this mannequin worships a swamp cooler
Robey attempts to explain Disney's "The Little Mermaid" based only on a confusing 59 second TikTok video that he saw while drunk:
the wah's brother gave us some hydroponic machines as a gift, so we're trying out cherry tomatoes and basil. i got a time lapse of the first three weeks of the plants coming up, it is surprisingly creepy! 🌱
A furry VR Chat music video! This is pretty amazing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdWUaQmcgBw
...besides the good song and cute video, I love the idea of VRChat as an inexpensive movie production platform.

agitprop + dealing with spam
problem: I get invited to Whatsapp crypto spam groups all the time 😔
opportunity: finally, an audience for my insufferable shit!
I'm trying out a new career experiment: part-time! Today is my first day of being a half-time employee. I am hoping the extra hours away from work will give me space for projects, friends, and sanity. We'll see!

i swear to god there are more glitchy web implementations of "enter your credit card" than there are stars in the sky. i'd have thought by now there would be some welcome consolidation, but, nope

alternate timeline where archeologists never figured out how the Antikythera mechanism worked because the only written account they ever found in connection to it read, simply, "Newbie? Join our Discord and someone in our community will happily help you get up to speed..."

New large VA study shows that vaccination does little to mitigate long covid: https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2022/05/25/long-covid-vaccines-slight-protection/
