Good morning everyone, I hope you're having a nice day :blobowo:

I'm sad that Mastodon seems to be getting more and more passive-aggressive and mean-spiritedly cliquish as time goes on. It's starting to feel like the worst of Tumblr culture in a lot of ways. Over the last few days I've pre-emptively muted notifications for several posts because I can predict the replies I'm going to get and I'd rather not see them.

I don't think it has to be that way. I think we can all do better. Exercise compassion for others, and maybe think twice about our next subtoots.

@Iuckyduck Yes, maybe it’s not that drastic in my experience, but once people have got what they want, they tend to end their calls as quickly as possible, even if they sound brusque.

Unfortunately work phone calls are not treated like personal calls, in which making the other person feel good (especially if they’re a loved one) is often considered to be valuable.

Good morning my friends! ☕️

Try to memorize one constellation you don’t already know and find it in the sky tonight.

Just wrote a long email to an Austrian MEP about #article13. I was actually surprised to get a response to my original mail sent via saveyourinternet.eu/home ! Great to see that some politicians actually don't shy away from talking with their constituents 😀

Okay. After writing and proofreading thousands of times, I hit “Send”.

I wrote to one of the Italian members of the JURI commission of the European Parliament, asking him to (and 3 and 11) of the new copyright directive.

Let's see how it works out.

@ondiz I can’t wait to see it completed!

If a service dog approaches you by itself, it's trying to get you to follow it. I didn't know that until today but now I do!

also #amaroq needs the “delete and redraft” feature

as well as a “copy link to toot” on the eclipses drop down to make things easier

Sometimes you really need to get those who make your life miserable out of your way, and I’ll start with those sticky notes that don’t stick to anything at all

In two days the people listed in the document will decide whether to build a European #censorship machine or not.

I hope they are aware of their responsibility, understand the matter and are free to make their own independent decisions.

There are phone numbers and mail addresses. I hope they actually lead your messages to the intended person.

Bank denies Feminist group an account after hearing they actively ban Trans Show more

I was checking the website of a foreign non-for-profit organization, and they had a page in Italian for the donations. And they give out their “bicicletta” – which is the Italian word for “bicycle”.

I guess they adapted “BIC” (Bank Identifier Code) to “bicicletta” for some reason, and nobody double-checked 🚲

@dulcet @Iuckyduck Good point. So I’ll bring the cheese and I’ll leave the lettuce to my partner in sandwich-making

@dulcet @Iuckyduck Well, the Earth is the filling and there is cheese on Earth, therefore there would be cheese in the sandwich either way :thounking:
