Auschwitz is a place that shows where hatred, #antisemitism and contempt for a fellow man led people decades ago.
It is also a place where we should reflect on our own responsibility for the world we live in. The warnings of the past should be a key to better future.
Help us commemorate the victims & preserve memory.
Use your voice to amplify ours. Help us build this incredible community & encourage others to follow

An Epidemic of Wage Theft Is Costing Workers Hundreds of Millions of Dollars a Year

It’s my birthday but it’s Bailey looking like the most interesting man in the world over here. #cats #CatsofMastodon
This is one of the last things I'm going to say about feature requests + current meta.
1. I think we need a lot more understanding about what community is and the many ways that community building takes place. The Community™️ is not a thing, and it never has been; the concept of The Community genuinely is a concept of control and silencing, especially once you start breaking it down. There are many communities.
2. There are tools that would be useful, but I also still think people need to take time to consider how they're implemented and used. At the moment, a lot of us have a chance to work through solving these issues. Do you like Quote Tweets? Is that really the *best* way to handle things? Are there other options? In what ways can the opt-in/out structure fail? Same thing goes with full-text search.
A lot of people need to move beyond "We had this elsewhere," while more others need to move beyond "We don't want this."
3. We may need to move beyond Mastodon. Not in terms of disconnecting from it entirely, but we definitely need to realise that Mastodon may have to go, and we'll have to slowly create new things and migrate elsewhere... to actually build things to get away from being so entirely analagous to corporate things all the time, to build what we may really need or want.
If you are considering running your own Mastodon server (or similar service) and it will be hosted in the United States, please read this general best practice guideline from the Electronic Frontier Foundation: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/12/user-generated-content-and-fediverse-legal-primer

Some #mosstodon for your viewing pleasure. A little more processing than I normally throw in but it has that real elvish fantasy vibe going on.
NZ Beech forest is such an amazing place to be.
