@pzmyers keeps reminding me that Mastodon is still a thing.
@andrestmaur The difference would surely come when and if it becomes interesting to "Social Media" pros and you get people on here with something to sell, either "product" or themselves.
It's one thing to be told you're being replaced by a machine. Show more
@Migukin seems they're only nice if you don't speak French.
@jalefkowit and now he wants to fork it
@pzmyers you don't have to relish it so much though!
Dear Fellow Anglophones,
People are allowed to speak their own language in public. We do not own the internet.
I repeat:
WE DO NOT OWN THE INTERNET.
Sheesh!
Dear Francophones (and other non-anglophones)
I'd say "feel free to carry on" but you don't need my permission.
I am sorry people are jerks though.
@Siphonay @Gargoylezoo Calloo Callay!
A reminder that free speech only applies to government bodies and social media platforms are under no legal obligation to provide you with a forum for oppressive language including racial slurs.
Seeing a few white people trying to defend their use of the n-word on here by appearing selfless and making it part of engaging in conversation.
Find an instance with more lax with their admin rules. That's not censorship, that's an individual using their right to not give you an amplifier.
@frankiesaxx @Siphonay The word "liberal" has taken a heck of a beating in recent years. In the US it seems to have come to mean "everything Republicans don't like or want to demonise". It is complicated & I can't explain it all, but Wikipedia thinks it can, and it is one of the longest pages on there!
Any good Android clients for this? Tusky seems like the most popular right now but I don't know if there's better out there
@ferdbold Will be giving Tusky a run-out this afternoon. If there are any alternatives I would like to hear about them too.
@Siphonay No, but have spent a few happy afternoons there. Last seen in Sept 2015 though. From Hastings England.
@Siphonay Have another, if only because I like Rennes....
Good morning!. I'm exploring several instances, trying to find the one that fits me. I hope multiple versions of me on Mastodon isn't going to break any conventions!
