@odinsdream yes exactly
its just another corner of the crap that is the monetized social whoopty doo
@afabulous oooh my next door neighbour ;p
*running in to hide from the rest of whatever has become of that wasteland called the interwebz*
Having just realized that this is still on my to do list, I search for words where to begin.
A list of questions would help the tongue tied
A lone wolf from insanistan
are we going to have a mefi thread on the latest mass shooting, or can we copy/paste the last one and do a find & replace?

Twitter can and does monitor tweeting in real time for persons of interest.
What's interesting is how and where and when they choose to do so.
That's the giveaway that they're actively condoning the ongoing bullshit, and/or at least some employees/mgt are doing so.
Time to nip this persistent myth in the bud
Twitter is not 'incompetent'. They know how to fix abuse and fascists and all that crap
They actively chose not to. They even fired their only black engineer over this
TWITTER IS AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN ALL THIS
Twitter blocked the media search for the hashtag #bisexual yesterday, so we might get some new friends arriving here pretty soon.
If you're new to Mastodon and arrived because Twitter is a douchebag, be welcome 💖 💜 💙
@stoof I did some reading on cortisol and adrenaline (the fight or flight reflex), and I'm learning to pause and become mindful of when these flood into my system. Slowly, its becoming reflexive - "monitor the cortisol level" kind of thing. This has been very helpful.
It looks like we have a bunch of new users. Hi there! As always, it’s important when you join a community to understand the community’s values. You can find mastodon.social’s guidelines here: https://Mastodon.social/about/more
In particular, I feel obliged to note that sexist remarks (like calling women “hoes”) and racist slurs (like “nigga”) aren’t welcome here. And if you’re not a fan of “SJWs”, you’re very unlikely to have a good time here and should find a different instance.
Thanks for reading!
