@goldest Welcome! Yes, Nazis and other terrible people are not welcome here, and I've had a good experience on Masto. I'm also a historian. If you want to post history stuff, use the hashtags #historodons and #beforemoderntimes. And please post pics of your dog! "Cat Mastodon" is well developed, but "Dog Mastodon" is still in its formative stages. The hashtag for cute dog stuff is #mastodogs.

Well, they did have to reverse the flow of the river to make Chicago work, so you might have a point.

@rottenmeier
I guess so! I feel so out of place, though, not being able to render pictures of wizards and elves.

Am I the only person on Mastodon who doesn't draw or do visual art of some sort? 😔

Once upon a time there was a cute long-haired guy. He got up one morning, put on a pair of Tapout shorts, and that was the end of that. The End.

Yes, it really is like a plague. This kid I had to let go of yesterday started his descent with antifeminism and MRA/"Manosphere" crap. That's the gateway drug. I've seen it happen numerous times now to young men. They start with, "what's wrong with the dating scene," and end up wearing MAGA hats and cuddling Pepe the Frog dolls. It's horrifying.

I'm very tired of dealing with alt-right people, alt-right sympathizers, and seeing alt-right crap pop up in ostensibly mainstream discourse. I've lost more friends to fascism in the last 5 years than I have to cancer or any other cause. I'm really, really tired of it.

1. "He didn't really mean that."
2. "He's just a kid, he's very naive. He'll grow out of it."
3. "He's a fundamentally good guy who's spent too much time in the dark corners of the Internet."
4. "He doesn't know about the problematic connections that writer/blogger/celebrity has."
5. "We can't just cut ourselves off from everyone who disagrees with us."

These are all self-delusions.

@Adotnon Yeah, me too.

@badwrongfun Good riddance then.

@Adotnon Someone just linked me to this article, which I haven't finished reading yet.

I haven't been following Mastodon drama. What happened with Wil Wheaton, now?

Guy on my Instagram feed pushing a book by a notorious MRA misogynist and alt-right apologist. I couldn't hit that unfollow button fast enough.

Today is the 21st anniversary of "Judgment Day," the nuclear war in the Terminator movies, which is said to have occurred on August 29, 1997.This was a fictional apocalypse, but are we really out of the woods when it comes to nuclear destruction?

Wow, thanks for boosting me, @federationbot!

@glyphicality
I'm here over on .at and I like it, though only a minority of local toots are in English. Moderation is top notch, though. No Nazis. Everybody is pretty friendly and it's small, so a nice corner of the fediverse.
