Hashtag stop calling moderation censorship 2018

y'all, pleeeeeeeease stop RTing that link to wtfosta and the $25k payout: it's a buncha Bitcoin Bros behind this campaign, and they are NOT our SW allies. (they've also said they'll be paying out in crypto, which essentially means they're selling snake-oil.)

I love this - Oh My Golly Embroidery asked for suggestions of 90s songs performed by women, and then used embroidery (which gets dismissed as "women's art") to render a mixtape playlist. https://www.instagram.com/p/BhUGST5nGe0/ #music #mixtape #art #embroidery

casual reminder that the accounts on the fediverse are real people and not content to be consumed

but always remember that they aren't a brand account or a web comic.

they're real people and not just the general entertainment of anyone in earshot.

Awoo

holy shit I never knew the background behind this
