I’ve never felt more proud of my countrymen, than I have standing in solidarity with the #resistance. Diverse people locking arms with a myriad of delicious fast food brands, cable companies, and cell phone manufactures to stamp out the bad guys.
I'm nice to Poast users because I am friendly but they are wearing out their welcome for me quickly. I'm not a fan of autistic children on social media.

Which has primacy?

Freedom of Speech

or

Autonomy in Commmunication

How do these differ?

What do they comprise of?

What conflicting or intersecting rights exist?

No, I’ve not defined terms. I have definitions in mind, but am also trialing language. The 2nd term is novel and appears not to be in significant use. I’m interested in seeing what others presume the meaning to be.

Boosts appreciated.

My present Recaptcha policy:

Request audio.

Respond "Fuck you Google"

Repeat until access granted, or the joy fades.

Bonus: All audio AI parsing tends to "Fuck you Google".

Wife just asked if this platform was called Fed-Averse becuase I am averse to federal agents

Yes.

A while back, I cracked open a jar of marmalade I found in the back of the cupboard, thinking it was a grapefruit/ginger thing I did a year ago that was too bitter, and thought it'd matured nicely and was now quite good.

Well, I opened a second jar that's DEFINITELY the grapefruit batch, and it's as unpalatable as I remember.

So what the hell was in that first jar? I don't recall making another marmalade recently. It tasted a bit grapefruit-ish, but now I'm thinking not.

I have successfully killed the bug that tried to move in to my bathroom.

Hey y'all, can you give me a list of your favourite fedi instances? Optionally with an explanation of why they're your favourites.

Boosts welcome!

i dislike the people that stormed the capitol not because what they believe, not because they are ‘fascist’, not because they necessarily did anything wrong, but because their action will have a lasting effect on and acceleration of the loss of civil liberties.

Basics of acquiring political legitimacy:

* A worthy cause
* Either clout with the public, or being able to provide popularly satisfactory answers to public concerns
* An ability to be able to prioritize tactics and modulate response in a way that shows your movement is sensitive to the varying costs change can have (i.e., that you actually care about what's at stake for regular ppl and not just ppl in the in-group)
* The right balance between movement inclusivity and security practices
* A consist way of delineating the enemy
* Possessing accurate, true information needed to navigate the political landscape to be able to do all of the former

Trump supporters have none of these, which is why they not only failed, but deserve all the backlash they are currently receiving.

Every time they nuke a second-tier wannabe social media service for not moderating bad people carefully enough, I look over at Facebook and say, "really?"

Really enjoying the fediverse experience.

Already eyerolling at Mastodon vs Pleroma arguments.

Already have a whole server I'm considering blocking for being full of spammy idiots.

Ahoy @jdp !

It's neat that you're signing all your posts with your PHP key.

It looks like your host is on Pleroma, and the Vanilla Mastodon sites try to show it as an image, leaving a big "not available" box on every post.

Is there a support patch I could wheedle my instance admin to apply, or is this all experimental?
