Ya know, right now would be an AMAZING time for Mastodon's leadership to break bread with the Black programmers that really wanted to help make this place less racist.Bluesky just banned a prominent Black user from basically being seen by anyone. Because Bluesky's CEO is mad about their posts. ATProto is clearly showing serious signs of weakness.Do the people who love the Fediverse have the guts to admit we have poorly served the Black community and need to apologize? To take radical steps to show this place will be worth investing in for Black users who may want to leave Bluesky?Now is the time to act and do so. If ever there was a time to put a massive amount of momentum behind the Fediverse, it'd be now. We should do it.#Mastodon #Bluesky #ATProto #Fediverse

@samueljohnson I have a question about the mint download, do we need a USB or DVD to install this? Thank you for any help,.

FTLOG, if a road is marked CLOSED by the CoCo, and has a "ROAD CLOSED" sign because of flooding... maybe don't ignore it and turn around instead of attempting to drive through it and getting stuck...Eejits. #mastodaoine #ireland #StormAmy

Social media should be about meaningful connections, authenticity and less exploitation of the people and their personal #data.In fact, they should be social platforms that put people first and make #people to be members of social platforms and communities, not simply users that are used by big #tech companies to make money.#Fediverse, especially with the #ActivityPub protocol, makes it possible and allows people to experience better digital life. #socialmedia #privacy #bigtech

Some new users give up on the Open Social Web after only a few days of trying.So, how do we help people who manage to make an account stay engaged in the Open Social Web? Show them people and posts they like, on topics they love. That's why we built 62 topical Newsmast Channels and then opened our Channel building technology to the public. So you can build what you care about too. Try building your own on Channel.org today #SocialWeb #Fediverse #Mastodon #SocialMedia

@jamescooke I don't have that plugin. Either Waterfox baked it in or something else happened... idk
