We had such a good start today. The momentum and progress I saw today was fantastic, and even with reflections on the fly to improve.

You're all so incredibly strong 💪🏻 💪🏼 💪🏽 💪🏾 💪🏿 and I'm fucking proud of you all!

Forking something so big is scary, but we're doing it, Together!

♥💙💚💛🧡💜🖤

if you "FOSS OR DIE" fucks spent half as much time lowering the barrier for entry for everyone who says "i'd love to use FOSS tools but i don't have the skills/time/physical or mental energy/computing power to run a [proprietary/capitalist software] alternative" as you spend shitting on people who can't adopt that aforementioned FOSS alternative, you FOSS fucks would have singlehandedly shut down the entire proprietary software industry by now.

A follow-up to the post I wrote when I first left Mastodon, to see what’s changed since and what hasn’t.

A local Scottish LGBT advocacy group has just published a statement I feel is incredibly transphobic (and it's in support of an org that is blatantly, angrily transphobic and has an agenda of getting in the news with anti-trans scare stories).

I've drafted a reply calling them out on this, and I'd like to use my cis queer privilege to give them a bollocking, but I also want to check I'm not stepping out of my lane here. Would any trans* Masto peeps be willing to take a look?

I just helped to stop #CensorshipMachines that would filter ALL of our online content. You too can help to #SaveYourInternet: http://d.shpg.org/420107097t Contact your EU representative before 4 July!

Zak S. writes about detractors. He quotes Toni Morrison talking about racism and how it's just greed and what to do about it; and he quotes George Saunders talking about noise drowning the signal, and what to do about it. It boils down to that: don't focus on the stuff that's abundantly clear to everybody. Keep doing the good stuff instead.

Good documentation is step 1 in customer support and user retention. To treat it as anything less is unfair to your users and your support staff.
