Seriously. The personal identity as brand world developed by FB and BirbSite has disadvantaged minority communities.

Standard pic and name is simply a way to broadcast your age, gender, race, and often religion. Wonder why your timeline is full of cis white dudes? One big reason is because people that didn't want to be judged by pic an name got docked heavily for it by the platform.

So, roll a unknown furry.
Follow a unknown furry.

It's okay here.

Watching @CobaltVelvet introduce community guidelines convinced me to become a Patreon supporter.

There are still many questions about what we all ultimately do together with this instance, but this is an important early start

No topic MUST be CWed.
Be considerate, have empathy.
CWs are a tool for that.

Any Intro To Mastodon thinkpiece that doesn't acknowledge that it's existed since 2016 and was essentially first colonized by a bunch of gay communist furries (and later: game devs, circa holiday season, but that's less important) is totally useless imo

Now that we have a bunch of gamedevs on here, my challenge to you: on Twitter they had tweetcarts, but we can do better than that on here.

Make a #pico8 game in w/in the character count! Check out #tootgames for some examples I made.

Tips: Put them behind a CW so there isn't a giant wall of text. With the CW and the gif URL, you have only 439 characters to work with, so keep that in mind!

@ChemiKhazi ay hello po! 👋🏻 risk! Is actually almost never dark, and usually funny. Stuff like a kid becoming obsessed with a circus strongman/naked flasher, that kinda stuff.

this might not interest you - but i forgot to mention The Truth. It's a fiction podcast created to be a "movie for your ears." the stories are always thought-provoking and the production quality is amazing, but the material may be a little scary & a bit disturbing. Think Black Mirror, or a scary story,in podcast form.

@ChemiKhazi I like The Tobolowsky Files, where Ned Ryerson from Groundhog Day tells random stories from both the entertainment industry and his personal life

@ChemiKhazi Risk! (people telling stories they never thought they'd share) and Call Your Girlfriend (wine-fueled besties talking about pop culture/politics) are great. I don't have the patience for most podcasts, but these manage to hold my attention!
