@stux @tooters@tooters.org Stux I respect you, you've been one of the most responsible admins here and personally recommended to me when I was looking for an instance for that specific reason.You have made mstdn a safe instance and one of the better social media experiences I have had.I understand you feel unfairly attacked, but this whole severing the connection between people who haven't contributed to the decision is beneath everyone and I hope you please reconsider.

With the events currently unfolding in Russia, just a reminder to check your sources. Be vigilant of propaganda and misinformation, and be careful about what information you choose to share.It's worth noting who is sharing what, also when something was shared (things posted hours/days ago might not reflect the current situation of things), and remember that just because a post has had high engagement it doesn't automatically make it factual or accurate.#Russia #Prigozhin #Wagner #Putin

It's the 23rd anniversary of Final Fantasy IX, one of the most well-written, heart-warming, deep and moving installments of the franchise, featuring some of the most memorable and complex Final Fantasy characters and exploring themes about life, death, and one's purpose in life.#gaming #games #VideoGames #FinalFantasy #FinalFantasyIX #RetroGaming

This Douglas Adams quote from 'The Salmon of Doubt' never stops being relevant, especially in a time where we've witnessed the damage disinformation and hate speech can cause. Lives have been literally lost, both by people spreading lies during the pandemic, and by bigoted rhetoric targeting women and marginalized groups. Legitimizing such views as just "difference of opinion" instead of challenging them for what they are only causes further harm.#quotes #quote #DouglasAdams #books #bookstodon

@stux @CatDragon The vast majority of actors and writers are not multi-millionaires, they struggle to even get health insurance. Respectfully, I'd suggest looking into it more before making such an umbrella statement celebrating so many people's jobs and livelihood being at risk. I get not supporting the uber-privileged, that's a given, but the support you see from so many folks, especially in the creative industries, isn't for them, it's for the average creator currently being exploited.

Chris Stuckmann has made a solid breakdown on the writer/actor strikes and how they are mostly about industry people who currently can barely make a living."It's really easy to look at these strikes from a surface level and think well SAG is just mega-famous people like Angelina Jolie or whatever, and no it's not, it's everyday working people who love their art and love their craft who just can't get ahead of this industry."📹 https://youtu.be/tlj-5kPl6fU#WGA #WGAstrike #SAGAFTRA #SAGAFTRAstrike

I try not to put focus on alt-right bros hating Star Wars / Marvel / Disney / Bud Light beer / Maybelline cosmetics / [insert your favourite franchise here, they'll get to it eventually], but the whole Ben Shapiro burning Barbie dolls on camera thing is just so hilarious.These people who self-label as the defenders of masculinity and toughness, who often label women with the "hysterical and unreasonable" stereotype, will sink to levels of ridiculousness and patheticness nobody else can reach.

Was reminded of this Discworld quote and it holds so much truth. Not because the uber-privileged aren't heavily to blame, they are. But the inclination to mentally place the issue far away from us is also real. We want it to be some other men, some other white people, some other communities that are "bad", not ours, not here, so we are safe from the problem and free of the responsibility. But a major part of change and growth is self-reflection.#quote #quotes #books #bookstodon #TerryPratchett

I'm not on Twitter. My stance on "leaving Twitter" is that I can't point the finger on anyone relying on social media to pay their bills, or to organize, find support and community.What I will never grasp is everyone who has seen the man welcome back Nazi accounts, call cis a slur, make targets of vulnerable minorities, spread misinformation about COVID, pay money to people like Andrew Tate, and embrace everything alt-right, but waited until a logo change to draw the line.#Twitter #ElonMusk

Glad that this day is finally over so I can get to watching the rest of Good Omens S2 with my two 'heavily invested with anything that's on the screen' cats and my 'heavily invested in snoring' dog.
