Hey look at this really good picture of Ryuichi Sakamoto

And what juice bag, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Silicon Valley to be squeezed? 🔁

if someone doesn't want to interact with you they shouldn't have to

I'm a big fan of blocking, honestly. If I make you uncomfortable and the things I say make your life worse? You should definitely block me!

It can be hard not to feel bothered by being blocked, but it's not always about you, y'know? Try to let it go.

People have the right to curate their spaces online, regardless of reasoning.

I GOT A FRIEND THAT NEEDS YOUR HELP

THEY'RE UP SHIT CREEK WITHOUT A PADDLE AND THEY'RE ABOUT TO HIT THE CONSTIPATION RAPIDS

IF YOU KNOW OF JOB POSTINGS AND NEED A SYSADMIN

White Cishet people don't understand Misogyny, Anti-blackness, transmisogyny, misogynoir, et all.

The issue is without a diverse staff, things cannot run in a fair and egaltarian way. Even w/o a staff, FOSS is very "cishet white dudes" which makes it hard for marginalized groups to get involved.

Not even accounting for the ableism.

If you want Keybase verification to work with Mastodon: @Gargron made a comment *last November* requesting just to get on a “suggested support” list: https://github.com/keybase/keybase-issues/issues/518#issuecomment-257590800 — they haven’t even added it to the list yet. Maybe add your 👍🏻 to the comment?

It's kinda weird to think about a social network where businesses own their own presences, rather than relying on a capricious third party service like Twitter or Facebook. Imagine NBC or The Verge running a Mastodon instance for their reporters to toot from, or Bethesda operating an instance for PR and customer support. No more lost business when Facebook changes their algorithms again because they need more money from boosted posts.

Weird, right?

NASA's Cassini mission is about to end and I am definitively more emotional about this than some of my actual waning friendships with real-life people who are not space robots
