CW : Club Q shooting 

Tells you a lot that cops arrested the club-goers who actually stopped the shooter. Cops want us to be nothing more than easy victims, and they also hate people proving that they're only useful in protecting the same bigoted murderers that they are.

I'm honestly proud of myself for such an unhinged looking selfie. I hope this becomes the first picture people see when they Google my name.

If you want to find out where a Mastodon instance is silenced/suspended, you can use this useful Google search string:

<instance domain> inurl:/about/more

where <instance domain> is the root domain of the instance you are checking.

You will get results from instances that have silenced/suspended the instance you are searching for, minus those with strict robot.txt or obfuscated domain names in the block list.

An informal measure of instance quality.

Introducing the first alpha release of Mastodon 3.11 for Workgroups!

Available for Windows 95 :BlobhajShock:

an important thing to learn when coming to mastodon is that free speech is a nonsense word and if you're a bad person you'll be banned. we're not corporations and we dont hold ourselves to the faux decorum that they do

you don’t have to like it but this is an incredible time to be online

Mastodon is my new home, but if you want to follow me elsewhere, check out breakdecks.com

I did some more work on #DOStodon, the #Mastodon client for #MSDOS.

I added a splash screen, a busy indicator for network access, you can scroll the entries now, there is a profile viewer and you can like and boost.
Image attachments are now displayed, too.

I am also interested in any Internet Radio stations people might recommend to me. I love independant radio!

As some white people are, of course, trying to find some wiggle room in comparing new people coming to the fedi and the horror that is colonization, let me say this again.

If you think new people coming to the fedi is akin to COLONIZATION, you are racist, and I'm not entertaining your bullshit.

Can people be overwhelmed? Yes. Can people feel anxious? Sure. But NONE OF THOSE THINGS are tantamount to colonialism.

Discomfort with change is fine. Trying to align that experience with one of the most brutal and violent methodologies in the history of humankind is complete nonsense.

No, I am not going to debate this point.

I have been a huge fan of my neighborhood Low-Power FM radio station, Hollow Earth Radio.

They are an excellent commercial-free source of local/independent music. I can't wait until they start doing in-person events again.

If you're looking for a to discover some new content, you can stream them online at hollowearthradio.org/
