a thing i really want to see is a movement towards making coding more accessable by both making better tutorials and better, more sensical syntax, creating community change (to be more new person helping friendly) and for us to actually consider changing the basics for the better (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pTEmbeENF4 ) so that finally you saying 'just code it if you want it changed, our devs arent being paid' you arent just being nonconstructive

I liked Stephen Colbert's decree:
> From now on, anyone who writes a thinkpiece on millennials forfeits the right to get computer help from a millennial.
look, the inclusion of the hyphen is supposed to make VERY clear it's plural. why… why did it survive translation~~~~~~~!

I'm on FB and on another friend's post and duking it out (with permission of said friend) with some rando science-bro I don't care about on the Science March.
I wish I could say it was hard, but the dude is barely thinking through his shit, and it's all literally boilerplate “these issues are all a distraction”, so it's actually a pleasure to cheekily imply that there's something wrong with his critical thinking and reading comprehension skills.
Anyway, you can read the article for more. Sorry about the length lol.
For a long time, people who stuck with Mastodon through all that did so because they were a part of the community and felt represented by it and they were hopeful that things would get better and change. And a lot of things HAVE improved. But I think some of that hope is dying out and proving to be a little naïve.
I briefly go into detail about a lot of history stuff that we don't really talk about anymore, although it's not necessarily the focus and there's more to say. Mastodon's history has been one of a LOT of turmoil and I swear it seemed like every two weeks there would be shit going down and people complaining and either leaving or getting run off the site. Nobody talks about that so much anymore, or ever really did.
Okay here's a real toot that you can actually boost without people looking at you like you're crazy.

The past few weeks (okay, ever since the schism) I've felt kind of disenchanted by Mastodon and especially its development environment, and I wrote an essay about why that is. It's long, but if you're interested in Mastodon's history or politics you should give it a read.
seriously, it's a redirect thing that is basically resolved if you use Google DNS or any DNS server not hosted by a 🇲🇾 ISP.
tfw when you're on mobile and you can't access medium.com on mobile because your the 🇲🇾 government blocks medium.com, and it's a pathetic DNS block not worth getting a VPN for.
