I anecdotally concur with @mike@thecanadian.social I get WAAAAY more engagement with only 10% of the followers I have here (currently 285, versus a now reduced 2179 on the other site) along a lot of reach beyond my followers too. Been 6-7 years since I had that over there. Read his article : thecanadian.online/?p=167#fediverse #Mastodon #microblogging

@LucyWildboots@c.im Equally, there's plenty of queer trans folk like myself who are on trans-run instances that have QTs and have never seen them used for abuse across the instances we're federated with, despite all the panic from those who said it would bring just the same harassment against us as the other place had. @jupiter_rowland@hub.netzgemeinde.eu

@LucyWildboots@c.im 37 studies dispel the myth that it's quote tweets that were the problem on Twitter. Sorry, but those who keep saying it is despite the wealth of evidence and the reality that the #Fediverse operates on completely different mechanisms to the other place, are engaging in unsubstantiated moral panic. There are 1 million users on Fediverse platforms that have a quote post feature, most of them on microblogging platforms like #Calckey #Misskey #Akkoma that are similar to #Mastodon and interact at-large with Mastodon users. https://blahaj.zone/notes/9a4skxq0lw@MetalSamurai@mas.to @jupiter_rowland@hub.netzgemeinde.eu

@BarrenPlanet@c.im And those kind of interactions really wouldn't be tolerated here. It was only three months ago that the instance that you and @LucyWildboots@c.im are on was threatened with defederation by multiple parties on Fediblock due to complaints about a bunch of reply guys there being insufficiently moderated. @MetalSamurai@mas.to @jupiter_rowland@hub.netzgemeinde.eu

I'm quite disappointed to see that solarpunk.moe has decided to unilaterally limit or defed notable #calckey instances. The largest of which has a users count around 2000. I'm particularly sad that our #queer #trans instance of 220 users at blahaj.zone is included. Let me state I'm not an admin or mod at blahaj.zone It really sucks to find out after the blocks and limits are in place through a public post, and the first opportunity our admins get to publicly reply won't be seen or engaged with. It feels like they're not looking to solve anything, rather to stir up shit as they've effectively shut out everyone who could take their concerns seriously AND change things in order to make things better for them and everyone in general. Also, they are spreading the message that noone working within #Calckey or #Misskey is interested in making things better, effectively spreading the (mis)information that there's no interest in the community for improvement and therefore one does not even need to try to attempt to resolve the problems by contacting anyone and therefore they frame it as a "done thing" rather than acknowledging that everything is a work in progress and people are invested in doing the work and making things better for everyone - if they can.It's particularly galling when there are folks here on #Calckey, and those who are new to it who are pushing for much of the #fediverse culture that prevailed prior to the Great Migration, that has been overtaken by birdsite culture colonisers on many large #Mastodon instances. And many of us who want to see more safety tools built into our protocols & platforms. Yes, I think there's some issues with the promotion of #Calckey features rather than devs working on safety tools, but that's a widespread fediverse issue that affects all platforms and third-party apps. I've done a bit of my own turn around about that and I've been pushing quite strongly in public and private conversations with the devs & flagship instance mods, raising many of the issues that @mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io and have others have been raising in the large, public conversations about the lack of built-in safety tools on Mastodon. I've been encouraging them to look at these conversations and challenging them how they really do need to be thinking about safety tools much more. Check my posts for receipts. 1/2#fediblockmeta #fediblockdiscussion

@untsuki@udongein.xyz @kaliranya@vtuber.house Also Friendica. All predate the existence of Mastodon so you really are gonna end the Fediverse and will end up with just a Mastoverse, as only the Mastodon API currently supports the no-indexing preference. It's not supported at the ActivityPub level.

I have a woman's hands. But they are not thin, elegant handsThey're stubby, thick, puffy. My fingers are short.They not 'womanly', but they are a woman's hands. I knew a woman with hands like mine. Puffier than mine. Darker than mine. I watched her run them over piano keys, I saw them hold a cello bowI observed them during the mundanity of doing laundryThey became a magical curative when they were run through my hair.I held them countless times.And they withered. As did she.I was holding them when she died. My mother's hands.I have my mother's hands. I'm gonna make good use of themBefore they too wither. #poetry #poetrycommunity #storytelling #mother #existential

@strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz Are you aware that Calckey now has a limited form of post migration? It's also announced that birdsite archives will soon be imported and searchable, though not federated.

Tina Turner was mighty. She was the first woman and Black person to appear on the cover of Rolling Stone. Queers loved her for giving a 🖕 to a misogynist music industry and her abusive husband. She was close friends with other icons like Cher and Bowie. She performed at the opening of the first Gay Games and spoke out for people living with HIV at a time when it could kill your career. Drag queens emulated her style and sang her songs. Modern queer icons do too. She was everything that today's reactionary fuck-knuckles aren't. Cope and seethe. Rest in power, Queen.🩷🩷🩷💜💜💜#TinaTurner

Holy shit. It's not just that the #Lemmy dev is a tankie, he's a LaRouche conspiracy-brain NazBol. Okay #fediverse tell me how this isn't as bad as Gleason's Soapbox and how you are separating art & artist because making them a Eugen-level BDFL just has to happen because of the #Reddit exodus. https://raddle.me/f/lobby/155371/warning-lemmy-doesn-t-care-about-your-privacy-everything-is

I've deleted my #Lemmy account and the #GoneWildTrans community on lemmy.blahaj.zone I won't be using Lemmy or supporting anything that gives their devs any further platform. I'm a humanist anarcha-communist and a genocide-loving Tankie authoritarian dev team are absolutely just as fucking shit as whatever Alex Gleason touches. #fediverse

I should be sleeping but now I'm just angry. Here's my subtoot: If we're gonna do criticism, perhaps demonstrate that you know the back stories, and that you know there's more than the two sides to the drama you're subposting about. Fuck the whole "I'm with the polite side cos they're polite" respectability thing, when you have NFI about what's not been/being said.

Remember when #Iceshrimp was a 'hate-fork'. 🙄 I won't be shilling for #sharkey the way I did for #calckey. I'm glad folks in other parts of the #fediverse called me out. In time, their gut feels about the vibe and direction of what became #firefish bore out. Tbh I don't think anyone could shill Sharkey like Atomicpoet & Kainoa shilled Firefish. Please don't prove me wrong though.RE: https://transfem.social/notes/9oak9vj8jjlu0qrb
