forever bitter this place went business as usual after damn near every woman of color was pushed away from the site and that eugen's answer of "build your own instance" was accepted and repeated as though access has never been an issue.

A real good article on the federation and what Mastodon is in relation to it. https://robek.world/featured/what-is-gnu-social-and-is-mastodon-social-a-twitter-clone/

I like seeing people be happy

reading a bunch of comments about Mastodon on tech news sites about how it "will never succeed" or will go extinct. Problem is, that defines Mastodon's success in the metrics of Silicon Valley VC. The point of Mastodon does not appear to be a growth -> exit -> brand vehicle strategy that Twitter has been struggling with.

I'm having a good time here. Isn't that success enough?

I got a package in the mail today. It fell through the slot with a mute thud. By the time I reached it, it was wriggling. I was disturbed and intrigued. Had a friend sent me a small animal as a prank? Was there a mechanical device motoring around in there? Or was something more fantastical happening?

I tore open the pack, and was beset about the face by a tiny blue woman. She was like a butch Smurf. Butch in a way even the men Smurfs never managed. She beat me with little fists, and screeched.
