Does anyone know who should I reach out to about a technical #Federation issue with the #Diaspora pod diasp.org ? -

All the moderation issues about public comments on news website or public social media or streaming websites aren't about specific communities, we just weren't meant to know what everybody else want to shout in the void. -

Among the few #Twitter non-features, the one that takes the cake for me is the notifications about posts published by accounts you are already following.
If I understand correctly, this is the chain of causality:- Encourage users to follow as many accounts as possible to boost Engagment™.
- Timeline becomes impossible to read, filter it.
- Send notifications about posts that may have been missed because of the filter.
This is completely irrelevant for me since I only follow people I want to read everything they publish, and I'm doing so either on #Friendica or on Twitter where I regularly have to switch back to "Latest tweets first" from the non-chronological filtered timeline. -

They could have gotten away with mentioning ASCII in there, but no, they just went full Latin-centric. -

The rules for the construction of identifiers are simple: you may use the 52 upper and lower case alphabetic characters
Of what alphabet? #LatinCentrism -

♲ @sovietvisuals@twitter.com: Post-Soviet visual. After the breakup of the USSR, the Lithuanian basketball team couldn't afford to participate in the 1992 Olympics, so the Grateful Dead funded the team's expenses and sent a box of tie-dyed outfits in Lithuania’s national colours. They went on to win bronze 🎖️

♲ @CarlosHappyNPO@twitter.com: Oh Holy Night has a verse that was intentionally left out in the 1800’s (and STILL today)
“Truly He taught us to love one another; His law is Love and His gospel is Peace.
Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother, and in his name all oppression shall cease.”
Sing it -

Media have reported the Omicron variant originated in South Africa or even in “Africa”, and this was accompanied by a European travel ban from South Africa and several other African countries.
Some people have criticized the ban by pointing out the West hoarding vaccines caused this situation, but while this “vaccine apartheid” she mentions it is very real, this woman offers a simpler explanation: the travel ban and the media narrative placing South Africa as the site of the variant origin and subsequent spread are more manifestations of racism.
After all, the real reason South Africa is associated with this variant is because of the virus sequencing efforts that are still ingoing, probably unlike in most Western countries who made the vaccine their one and only anti-COVID strategy, often at the expense of global South countries. -

♲ @yolandebouka@twitter.com: Vax apartheid is bad. But don’t confuse the issue when critiquing the recent travel ban. Antiblackness is at the root of reactionary narratives placing Africa at the site of origin & spread of omicron instead of SA being the 1st to identify new variants present around the world.

Beyond the aesthetic of these works that I love, this is a prime example of N•F•Ts as patronage @wakest introduced me to recently. No exclusivity hype, no promises of exponential wealth, just more art freely shared with the world, far from any paywall. ♲ @huwythechew@twitter.com: 6 months ago today, my frmr. computational arts professor @golan Levin got on a 3hr zoom call with me, introducing me to hicetnunc. I was graduating college that week. I was emailing every stop motion studio I could find, asking if they were interested in using this...(1/5)

I believe this is an accurate analysis of the marketing target of this ad, but unfortunately it doesn't make it less wrong to me. -

I don’t think this would make people less able or willing. What I believe it would do is make less people find out there weren’t able and/or willing because they just caved in to outside pressure, and no matter how decent they are, I believe it has more effect on the quality of the children’s upbringing than any vague personal awfulness like you described..
