Please report spam if you see it. Those spambots can go to hell

If your thinking about shutting down your instance (ala witches.town) please contact me first. I don’t mind running additional instances and I’d rather see communities stick around.

This reads like an Orwellian nightmare: US government plans to build a Media Monitoring Service, and no one is talking about it. It's time to freak out about online surveillance and to fight for the freedom of the press.

'...Bailey was put on administrative leave following a complaint from a parent that the above image, which the teacher shared with her students and shows her and her wife dressed up in funny costumes, was an example of “promoting the ‘homosexual agenda.’”...'

There seems to be as many stories about the "correct" way to weld two pieces of metal as there are folklore tales from all the indigenous people of the world

Same for the "correct" way to start a fire, make soup/stew, chop firewood, select a programming language, build a tent, make soap etc... etc...

What is about human nature that makes us "discover" the one-true-way and proclaim it gospel

Why is it so hard to admit there's more than one right answer for some things

tongue

Reminder that I have three short story zines. Each one with an original story and its Spanish translation.

They're pay what you can; it is very much ok to download them for free specially if you're trans as well. What matters most to me is that people read my work.

Check em out!! And spread em around.

so, now that Chara finally decided on an alt for themselves, where am _I_ gonna go?

eldritch.cafe?

weirder.earth?

any suggestions? something a bit witchy is preferable but I don't quite trust most of the instances spun off witches.town, not after that business with the witchcraft.cafe moderator booting out a friend for no creditable reason. kinda want to get away from the performative approach to safe spaces, you know?

This is also interesting from the article.

"Facebook has not fully disclosed the manner in which it pre-processes photos on the iOS camera roll, meaning if a user has any Facebook app installed on their iPhone, then Facebook accesses and analyses the photos the user takes and/or stores on the iPhone, the complainant alleges."

Sounds like FB is in some way processing camera roll images to extract data (location, time, maybe even contents) even when sync is switched off

I think only the first hour or so is online, but I like the project a lot

actually the thing about mastodon that keeps hitting me is that it's a return to the governance model of the internet of the 90s, which is the "local dictator", with a single admin or a small mod team who are the sole owners and operators of a site. and like, oh right, anybody who's only used, say, twitter and facebook and youtube and tumblr and myspace and so forth and so on would have had absolutely no exposure to, because all major social media platforms online for the past ten years or so have been huge corporate monoliths (or wannabe huge corporate monoliths). getting mad at brad on livejournal was a very different thing than getting mad at jack on twitter or david karp on tumblr, because lj was brad's site in a way that was very different from jack being CEO of twitter
