It really comes down to the idea of people wanting a better place.
Do you want an inclusive, diverse and safe space or do you just want to replicate the experience of other social media platforms with the social groups you are comfortable with?
If you want a better place, you're going to have to fight for it. It's not going to just happen because you have a few Black and/or trans friends in your follow list.
You have to show up for the ideals you profess. Consistently. Again and again.
Our Mastodon fork has BBCode, custom emoji size, unlisted + local posting option, options to select the kinds of text formatting you want to hide, media hiding behind CWs and bigger character limits.
Glitch-soc has a bunch of stuff listed on that page.
Computer Fairies has a lot of glitch-soc features (not sure if all) plus BBCode, BBCode in content warnings, Mutant Standard emoji as default, a followers-only + local timeline posting option, bigger character limits on bio and probably other things too.
Monsterpit uses glitch-soc, has custom character limits, has bangtags, markdown and probably more.
Kibousoft's Customized Mastodon is probably the origin of all BB Code, although other implementations cited are more complete imho.
There are also other instances with custom character limits, features that were dropped from the "original"'/"default" code, larger columns on all themes, some glitch-soc features but not all, or other features.
If you have the means and technical knowledge to do so, please don't be discouraged from modifying your own instance. There are other instances with custom code. There are people who can probably help.
Is there a cut of GoT with all the nasty dismemberments and crap cut out so that I can watch the acting and sets and costumes without getting fully traumatized?
#LIVE | President @NicolasMaduro: "The hateful politics of the right wing has no limits. They give us strength to keep fighting for, and defending our country."
It is the 21st mother fucking century and white people are STILL enthusiastically supporting destabilizing nations for resources, passing policy devoid of any logical sense, electing bigots, pedophiles and white nationalists AND still putting cops that are killing unarmed people for no reason back on the street with no consequence.
White Americas are choosing again and again to keep the States a dumpster fire of regressive ideology and hate.
There is no doubt that American domestic and foreign policy is based solely on the extreme hate of racists and/or sexists.
While people continue to complain about shit that doesn't matter, they quietly continue to enable the most murderous regime in the history of the world. All for the sake of whiteness.
I don't give a fuck if you agree or not. White people straight up have a death wish. White culture is simply a culture of murder and destruction.
The United States is literally trying to start an armed conflict with Iran for no mother fucking reason at all, save to shore up GOP base, b/c nothing galvanizes white people like murdering Black/Brown people.
There is simply no reason for us to sending troops to Iran. The hubris of angry white men enabled by a population that is either wildly racist or sympathetic to it is going to kill entire populations of people.
@denikombucha And why is she going after two (of the most successful) brothers as opposed to the literally thousands of white guys that get breaks over her.
She's coming off as an OD bigot right here.... which is to say she's being herself.
