I've seen people ask for their favourite features in other social media sites to be implemented in Masto without consideration of scope creep and/or abuse potential. Masto doesn't have to be your only social media site. I wish there would be more things like Masto that aren't just Twitter-workalikes.

Toxic feminity is a thing, nowhere near as universal as toxic masculinity but just as shit to be around for a trans woman.

It's the idea that women should behave in certain ways; they're supposed to be catty, snobby, slut shamers, judge others for who they sleep with, fashion-obsessed...

Women don't have to be any of these things if they don't want to. It doesn't make you more or less of a woman. I've met some women who think so though.

Okay uhh I am now mildly worried about @noelle I hope she is okay

You're all loved.

And cared about.

Yes, all of you.

I told my sister about what happened to Natalie.

"Promise me you won't do that... I know suicide is common in trans people... 1 out of 2..."

If you are thinking of suicide, you can call +1-800-273-8255 in the United States, or one of these abroad:

I knew this day was coming but you can never fully prepare for it.

No amount of "yes I know it's going to happen eventually, I just don't know to who or when" can help.

Denial to myself that "I probably wouldn't know the person."

But I did. And I liked her. She was a good person.

Loss is something that's happened to me a lot. Happens when your friends are all depressed. It hurts every time just as much.

Take care of yourselves.

At the end of the day, the vast majority of people care more about the ability to talk to their friends than whether or not a platform allows Nazis or not.

Thing you should take away from everything I've said on economics:

Capitalism sucks. But there's no such thing as a utopia. Not with humans involved. And computers aren't at the point they can make the decisions for us, nor is that really ethical imo.

Production capacity is a finite resource, whether it be for economic (e.g., it's not profitable) or for social (e.g., few people can or will) reasons. The idea that artificial scarcity is solely a product of capitalism is a comfortable thought, in that it can be rid of by a change in economic system, but it is never that simple.

printers are exempt from Moore's Law and are just as shitty and expensive now as they were in 1997

A friendly reminder companies don't care about you or your livelihood, and if you think they do, you've fallen for their trap and are exposed to getting burned at a moment's notice.

"nobody is ever going to want to work on a project as long as dtluna is there"
