"The personal, as everyone’s so fucking fond of saying, is political. So if some idiot politician, some power player, tries to execute policies that harm you or those you care about, take it personally. Get angry. The Machinery of Justice will not serve you here – it is slow and cold, and it is theirs, hardware and soft-. Only the little people suffer at the hands of Justice; the creatures of power slide from under it with a wink and a grin. If you want justice, you will have to claw it from them. Make it personal. Do as much damage as you can. Get your message across. That way, you stand a better chance of being taken seriously next time. Of being considered dangerous. And make no mistake about this: being taken seriously, being considered dangerous marks the difference - the only difference in their eyes - between players and little people. Players they will make deals with. Little people they liquidate. And time and again they cream your liquidation, your displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult that it’s just business, it’s politics, it’s the way of the world, it’s a tough life and that it’s nothing personal. Well, fuck them. Make it personal."
Friendly reminder: In terms of value stolen, the two largest forms of theft are wage theft and civil forfeiture. Wage theft alone accounts for more value stolen than all other forms of theft combined. The two most likely people to steal from you are your boss and the cops.
As all good things come to an end some day, there's only one thing left to say: Thanks for the past four years here on !gnusocialde. You all were awesome and wonderful people. Keep being excellent to each other!
Für diejenigen, die noch eine Last-Minute-Migration von gnusocial.de machen wollen: Beim Export-Skript für die Folllowerliste für GNU social ist mir noch etwas aufgefallen. Die API gibt nicht alles auf einmal heraus, sondern nur Seiten mit jeweils 100 Usern. Daher habe ich es angepasst und obendrein noch eine Option hinzugefügt, neben den Folgenden auch die Follower zu extrahieren – falls man einzelne Leute noch zum Folgen beim neuen Account animieren will. 😉 https://github.com/benediktg/gnu-social-export
