I feel bad since this instance is AMAZING, but I've moved my main over to spooky.pizza/@patrl since I feel a bit more comfortable living on an instance ran by someone who I have vague meatspace connections with. Follow me there!

Another piece on #Mastodon by The Verge.
Almost every article I've read states that the service has shut down new registrations. Perhaps they should include a list of available Instances readers can sign up on.

It's a trip how people post like mad but the sum of their followers and followees is <5. Just a different culture here I guess at least so far because of federated timeline. I wonder if that'll change as it gets unmanageably big or if action will move to increasingly differentiated local timelines, with some kind of self selection in instance choice
for folks wondering about content warnings and things being "too important" to place behind a warning:
the point of content warnings isn't to suppress speech or thought, it is to allow those of us who have experienced trauma to mentally prepare ourselves before seeing something.
I have trauma related to police. It does not stop me being an antifa on the front lines - but when I protest, I know I am going to see cops, and I prepare myself to handle that.
CWs help more ppl engage, not fewer.
Plz stop likening something that sounds like a filler track by a mid-tier noughties indie band to David Bowie. It makes me v sad. Goodnight.
