From OG OGL architect Ryan Dancey:

"Yeah my public opinion is that Hasbro does not have the power to deauthorize a version of the OGL. If that had been a power that we wanted to reserve for Hasbro, we would have enumerated it in the license. I am on record numerous places in email and blogs and interviews saying that the license could never be revoked."

Calling spam white supremacy and racism is just so ridiculous

ok but realtalk #fediblock continuing to go around starting shit with people, especially other marginalized people, over small issues that can be resolved amicably is a fucked up and abusive thing to do. it's not "white supremacy" to say to not do violence (and exile/social exclusion is violence) on people who accidentally step on your social mores. if you actually give a shit about the anti-bigotry you espouse (lol), you need to offer a path to correct the behavior. failure to do so, or unwillingness to reverse judgements when amends are made, means you are an abuser grifting for social clout, simple as.

interviewer: give me an example of a time when you took control of a situation

me: no, YOU give ME an example

interviewer: lol okay, that was pretty impressive

me: I’m afraid we’re going to have to let you go

interviewer: *being led away by security* what is happening right now

Tomorrow in US Politics

👾 I can't blame people for misunderstanding cyberpunk when the genre in the mainstream has been completely co-opted by the very people it was originally a political statement against

I wonder what the result will be when this poll ends

If you don't have anything to hide, WHY ARE YOU WEARING CLOTHES? A tiny number of clothing activists are trying to impose their ideology on us all with their dangerous textiles. Express your freedom! Go naked this winter! #thisisasubtoot #privacy #clothingactivism

Hello fellow citizens of the free and open web, it is me, Ben Brown. You may remember me from that social network from back when social networks were cool, or maybe from that one open source project that blew up.

Hi, it is great to see you again.

First off, corporate owned social media always sucked, we always knew it. It is past time for us to have better options.I am so glad for the #Fediverse and #ActivityPub and Mastodon and other projects for breathing new life into the indie web, where it is possible for us to own what we post and use whatever tools we want. I couldn’t resist building something!

My new project is called SHUTTLECRAFT. It social media server … FOR ONE.

What does that mean?

It is very small and lightweight open source app that runs nicely on services like Glitch, but it has most of what you need to host your own personal social media account.

It’s got a microblogging tool, to make posts. You can customize the design with HTML and CSS. You can follow people on Mastodon or other services and interact with posts and send messages. People can follow you on Mastodon, or with RSS. You run it on your own server so you own and operate the data and the code and the whole service. And you can hack the code and make it weirder so that we can all be part of a better, more diverse and more interesting web.

No billionaires or mega-corps required!

I made a 3 minute video showing how it works:

Though this a personal project and only a few weeks old, with tons of stuff still unfinished and yet to build... you can get the code right now and run your own right now! The official site also has a 3 minute walk through of setting up an instance on Glitch. It is pretty easy!
