There's a bot called "glowposter" living on gameliberty dot club that scans Fediverse instance DBs and sends "x has been blocked by y" DMs to both x and y.

The problem with this bot should be obvious, but it basically stirs up trash mobs and encourages harassment campaigns against people who block other users.

Instance admins should also consider blocking gameliberty dot club because it's a "free speech uber alles" instance.

@Elizafox We could have done that years ago if we had gotten our shit together.

@hypolite You can't /keep/ assholes from abusing their partners unless people stop dating assholes. The presence of incels suggests we're making progress on that front.

You don't want to raise a child prodigy:

And no kid wants to BE a child prodigy. Once you get saddled with the "gifted" or "prodigy" label, your childhood is pretty much over. If you had trouble getting along with other kids your age before your ability was "discovered", it's just gonna get worse.

Yes, I'm a little bitter.

@Neo_Chen IIRC, @SDF already runs NetBSD and the admins are familiar with it. It makes sense to stick with it, since sdf.org is one of the biggest NetBSD installations.

I don't know if there are any #Emacs users who write #poems or #lyrics (I know they're essentially the same thing.) but if there are they might find the new "sylvia" mode of interest.

Mark Zuckerberg should take acting lessons from Brent Spiner so he can learn to act like a robot capable of passing a Turing test.
