Battlefront 2, the sequel to Battlefront.

First the queers and furries build a space where they can be themselves.

Then the infosec folks find that it fits well with their values.

Then the communists flock to the first real alternative to capitalist monopoly on shortform burst communication.

Then the artists come to find new walls to paint and nobody to tell them no.

The intellectuals, the chroniclers, the priests and the prophets, singly and in droves.

Slowly, it builds. It's neat to build an oral history from inception. #mastodon

Haha wow - ok, Japan has officially colonized the fediverse. mstdn.jp and pawoo.net are #1 and #2 for user count respectively.

The thirst is real thanks to Venus and Mars today. :star: Perseverance and commitment will go far today thanks to the Sun and Saturn. :star: Hard study is rewarded today by tenacious Saturn with Mercury.

#Civilization101: Turn off subwoofer in residential areas. Vets w/PTSD, pets, and babies deserve to live in peace.

@IstariGetUp either that or "i want to debate strangers using my bad ideological positions and claim moral superiority when they tell me to fuck off"

@takaeri see a lot of folks operating under the notion that "freedom of speech" means "I want to be able to make a racist joke on here".

because i read with my own two eyes an op-ed saying that the first couple waves of mastodon users were people who "couldn't handle opposing viewpoints" let me break it down for those who haven't figured it out yet:

it's not that we can't handle opposing viewpoints, it's that all of y'all keep treating being an asshole like some sort of ironic coolguy thing to do and we all find you insufferable and none of us can stand being around you

In case of fire:

1) git commit
2) git push
3) leave building

If you use one account for everything, you may not be seeing the full breadth of Mastodon. Get an account on an art instance, watch the cool art fly by the local timeline. Get an account on a French instance, bone up on your high school French. Make an instance for your coworkers, talk shop.

I don't wear swim trunks to work, I don't wear a suit to the pub, and I don't wear cargo shorts to my sister's wedding. Apply that to Mastodon and you might find it's quite natural. Decentralize yourself! 😁

"We find that the growth in polarization in recent years is largest for the demographic groups least likely to use the internet and social media. For example, our overall index and eight of the nine individual measures show greater increases for those older than 75 than for those aged 18–39. These facts argue against the hypothesis that the internet is a primary driver of rising political polarization."

An awesome work was made, check these screenshots. Thanks @Gargron. https://social.targaryen.house/media/rz_T933KRpdr-V0CZC4 https://social.targaryen.house/media/fb-iKXrOGsXHFGM5840 https://social.targaryen.house/media/swjJ7RG2wvnq-U2Dlro https://social.targaryen.house/media/gVy0NK7BQAlN3JI0suY

a spell for french sentences: take a load of words and crush them together with a sprinkling of apostrophes

what if I told you that the instances who harbor hate speech and cp were the ones breaking federation, not the admins sensible enough to block them?

to combat "hey guys" a friend of mine made a site that will give you a gender neutral alternative every time you refresh
