I dislike popularity/count based schemes in that they advantage early adopters or people with following. This pushes a dialogue platform into being a publishing one instead, and negatively affect quality of dialogue, and increases the barrier of entry.

Popularity is a very incomplete metric for quality of content.

i'd support both a fork and staying here on mastodon in the sense that i've made a lot of cool friends here, and it's a little early to switch to something else entirely once again, but it'd be nice to help another platform grow and see how it compares alongside it

tbh i'm not sure if a new social network would have as much momentum since mastodon isn't nearly as bad as twitter to warrant remaking accounts and such

If there's still discourse I recommend everyone take a 30 minute break. *FORCE* yourself if you have to

Trust me,

It's worth it
This is not.

if you want to create a space that is free from harassment, then listen when people tell you something is a tool that can and will be used to harass folks.

if you want to run a community, listen to your users that are most vulnerable about important issues that are impacting them.

don’t complain about people giving you the feedback you Requested and said was Welcome

Mastodon needs a community manager.

Someone who's open-minded but will prioritise the experiences of victims of social media abuse. They'd field feedback from users, ask clarifying questions, condense all the important and relevant stuff, relay it to Gargron and the devs. The devs would address all the concerns, and the CM would ask clarifying questions, condense it all, and relay it back to the users.

But it has to be a partnership! Gargron has to listen to them.

Gentle reminder during pride month that not everyone can be out or visible. Some due to anxiety. Others due to very real threats of losing their homes, jobs, and families.

Friendly reminder that the original Pride was a riot started by a black trans woman who threw a brick at cops. Never forget Stonewall.

@miramarco your picture contained an image orientation tag in the EXIF data that was stripped for privacy reasons. There's a bug report on github about the issue. #pixelfed

Happy Friday, fediverse.

Remember, your dark times are just a page in the story of you.

It will pass. Just hang in there.

I am revaluating the establishment

We have a so called anti establishment government and it's downright fascist
