That’s not true at all. Look at any post about landlords or Zelenskyy or “bourgeoisie”. Count the number of pictures or references to guillotines.
This is like a children's picture book-level of understanding of the differences between these. This same group of people are responsible for getting you things like healthcare, or the 8 hour work week, or fucking paid vacation. Maybe listen to them and read a little more before posting dumbass takes like this.
Where am I brigading other instances????
LMAOOO WHAT?? I'm just using the term they use for themselves.
I ran into a group of Trotskyists once and it turned out they were absurdly boring and wanted me to grab coffee with them for weeks on end before they'd tell me anything, and they apparently read a metric fuckton of theory. So now I know the word Trotskyist. But I guess that makes me a tankie 🤷
I FUCKING LOVE PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING
It's also a really wonderful way to get pedestrian safety improvements installed. CDOT really does not love prioritizing pedestrians right now. But alders can order specific infrastructure from them using menu funding. Because pedestrian-friendly infrastructure is liked more by people, wards with participatory budgeting usually have higher amounts of pedestrian infra and safe streets. :D
This is why I am bald lol. Just shave every day in the shower and boom problem solved. Also I hate how my hair feels when it’s hot out.
EDIT: Also important to note, I feel like this is gonna be a slow, slow process. We really have no idea when sign-ups will settle and could be looking at months or days of Reddit hemorrhaging users.
THIS THIS THIS. A lot of folks call the migration to Mastodon from Twitter a 'failure' because Mastodon didn't immediately jump to 100 million monthly active users lol. There was a spike, but a lot of folks went back to Twitter. But we now see more spikes every week or so when some stupid shit happens on Twitter, and with every spike, more and more people stick around. We get about 2000 new users an hour on Mastodon across all servers. Now at 12 million MAUs, up from wayyyyyy less than that earlier last year. Growing slowly is the key, a migration won't be instant.
Nah this is not how moderation works on the fediverse. If you defederate from Nazi instances, Nazis have an incentive to go to those instances instead of yours - namely because they can't interact with Nazi content. They can still harass your users of course, but they can't build a platform and get banned quickly. So on the Fediverse you end up with a lot of Nazis on only a few servers, and everyone just bans those servers. Same goes for pedos, TERFs, etc.
This makes it a LOT easier as an instance admin to moderate content and keep users safe. As a Masto admin, I only get about 10 reports a week because I block about 200-300 servers. It also incentivizes me and my other fellow admins to block that kind of content, because if we don't, Nazis will come to our servers and we risk being defederated from.
Hello, fellow Chicago cyclist here! Make sure to check out /c/ChiBike on here!
Welcome to the Fediverse!
There’s a great example right in the quoted article regarding Reddit’s iOS app, for example - the upvote/downvote buttons there need to be labelled with alt text.
Good lord I didn't realize how bad the app was. This is like... basic stuff I feel like lol.
One of the easiest things to do is honestly just to learn how to use something like VoiceOver and fix stuff that feels broken. Broke my wrist a while back and had to rely on Talon Voice for getting around my computer cause I couldn't type, was a huuuuuuge eye opener and made it much easier to write accessible software lol.
but they can write malware and commit it to their repos.
Why would they do that lmao
And why did he do that?
