can we stop discouraging young comrades? can we stop treating them like they aren't allowed to learn about leftist politics? can we allow them to utilize this space to learn about the things they aren't conventionally offered? can we do that pls?

Morning 🐘🐩 *does the thing when sleepy cats put their paws over their face*

I keep seeing MLM and thinking it's "men loving men" and not "marxist-leninist-maoist"

But really, it's awfully sweet of Twitter to drive more users in Mastodon's direction. Real neighbourly like.

Finally, I've always wanted to vote "yes, I know what that thing is, but I have no idea how to use it" on SOMETHING because that is such an accurate description of most of my life

For the record there are no co-founders of Mastodon. Not in a startup way (it's not a startup) nor in a development way (I started the project on my own)

bad instances 

@ghostcommie okay my memory is not great, but as I remember it, the cybre.space admin later apologised for this and said he had fallen for the lies spread by the abusers that (apparently successfully) tried to frame Ginny as the real baddy, or something. (And undid the silence.)

It's up to you who you can trust obviously, and this is all buried under months of toots. To me this looked like an honest mistake and cybre.space still like a good instance.

For a moment, when I was scrolling down Goodreads and there was dust on my screen that made it look like the cover of a book was moving, and after I remembered that in meatspace, books never have moving covers, I was really confused why that's the case

PSA: antisemitism is never cool. Miss me with that shit. Bye for now.

ok pawoo music looks really cool

one of the main things that interests me there is embedded youtube videos, hope that makes its way over to reg masto soon

I remember when I was a new user, all those ye-

No, wait, all those mon--

...eight weeks? Huh.

My home timeline is still moving so fast! this is pretty new.

vaguetooting about an article about trans stuff 

@squirrel ugh :s in non-medical contexts it's about half/half here, afaik. probably because this country doesn't have dedicated laws about trans people, so government documents on trans stuff are not that official and a bit more flexible terminology-wise.

vaguetooting about an article about trans stuff 

okay but… "I tried to define the difference between “transgender” and “transsexual”" is not the same as "I call myself a transsexual (because that's what we called ourselves back when I got into queer stuff)"

It's super important that people are able to use the words that are right for them, even if they are considered outdated and offensive by many now.

But. You can do that without reproducing this toxic "difference", surely?

@spudpuffet@kitty.town ooooomg!!! :speechless_cat: 💚

Just a heads-up from having lived through many many waves of new users: Nazis etc. will probably try to join the platform over the next couple of days when they see how much fun we're having. Don't let them drive you away. In about a week or so their instances will all get blocked and they'll be banned from any reputable servers and things will go back to normal, it just takes admins a few days to sort things out and figure out what's what.

I just held a 2.5 litre box ice cream in my smol paws and seriously questioned my aromanticism 😻

@cripcat@toot.cat :( <3 (es wird wahrscheinlich alles wieder übersichtlicher in den nächsten tagen? aber das ändert an jetzt halt auch nichts. 💜)

I have so many ideas for bots like that but I'm always too lazy to make them
but I love them
