@futurebird used to work for a creative academy sorts. They got new computers for the animation lab- then they were moved to one of the heads offices (very spiteful white lady) for a bit, and the students or staff ever saw them again :)

@aras what purpose does JPEG-xl serve BTW? I came across it while expiring stuff from krita but didn't really get it...

@shamanix @aras can old systems handle it? Or would you require some code or something? I guess my question is- how backwards compatible?

Yeah, the fedi isn't looking too good on the whole "including black people" thing 👁️🗨️Like I genuinely am grateful for all the lovely mutuals and interactions I've had, but something needs to change. Preferably soon.Like yeah yeah, corporate platform bad, short form content bad- whatever. But at least when I open tiktok I can actually feel connected to my people all over the world despite how chaotic and ragebaity it gets.This is something I can and will honestly go on a little rant about.

I think there's this unspoken idea that black people do not exist here, or that we would not find the concept of the #fediverse to be appealing. This is inherently just- wrong.There's very much a whiteness problem here. A lot of purity culture in leftist politics. Like damn- y'all actually do not know how to get a lil nasty while still remaining civil. And it shows tbh.Like I always try to post to #blackfedi and it feels like yelling into the void ahaha. But I do not blame black people for-

Staying lowkey, especially in times like this. Like a lot of y'all like to think you're very forward thinking- until a nigga steps into the room 💀It's like your ancestral rage just awakens or something. Anyway.The reason there likely aren't a lot of black people here in my eyes is that a lot of y'all don't actually act in community with black people. You have your token black friend and just assume you are immune from #racism and white supremacy.Don't get it twisted now-

The fedi is honestly an amazing way for black creators, artists, builders, healers to show all the beauty this mere realm of existence has to offer.But a lot of these people are just trying to get by. You'll only ever see them in your feeds when its a #mutualaid post or when they are being dogpilled by some racist dweebs.This is NOT OKAY. And telling black people and indigenous folk to just "run your own instances" while not actively helping them do so is just classist as fuck. Do better.

And so y'all do NOT misconstrued me, understand that I am firstly an African black person whose existence is experienced through a trans lense. So while I don't give two honest craps about most uspol- I don't like to see my people hurting.I barely interact with white people on a day to day basis outside, and its honestly a blessing. Because while my people can be conservative at times, I have honestly experienced some of the most disgusting transphobia from white queers who can NEVER understa-

And like yeah, we can be all hugs kisses on the fedi and stand for the same causes- but until you put that white supremacist thinking out the way. Black people will NOT call this home. And you need black people for any meaningful impact.I spent most of my life just lurking online. Because I never felt comfortable being perceived by the world. Yet I actively post here. Because to me, the #blackfedi is something I dream of bigggg. The #fedi is small, it helps ease the anxiety-

But like with any "new" platform emerging on the web, the early signs and foundations always hint at what the ultimate end goal of a space will be.History tends to rhyme hey.

@futurebird Oh...dang, that's fair. I didn't know these lil- massive cuties were so fascinating. Mind you, I got to this rabbit hole after stumbling on a Rolling Stone interview with Andre3000 for his flute album.And I've seen you ant-tooting a few times...so I had to see for myself, and now I fear I may be in a new rabbit hole...They're sOOOO cuteee (and a bit terrifying)So ants would likely consider us quite silly. Crazy.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Daojoan/115806273804343814Digital Nomads are just modern day missionaries. Like I hope you all know that this colonial ass nonsense is the reason Cape Town currently has a housing crisis. It's all bnbs and ridiculously priced rentals meant to cater to the £ $ € combo.Like when the state itself starts offering a "digital nomads visa", while neighbouring Africans gotta jump through hurdles to get even a work visa, the gentrification is complete.

like I understand the need to leave a burning empire, but I wish some of y'all were more mindful about how deeply extractive digital nomad culture is.y'all spend a few months here, and our cultures become your aesthetic for your next season.the tech workers doing most of the dirty work in Africa to keep this dumbass machine running, get paid in actual dirt.

people in the global south are very welcoming, and I think people take us for a piss.
