A gentle reminder to folks who are new to Mastodon. In solidarity with those in the disabled community who rely on screen readers, we ask that you:* Add alt text/image descriptions when you post media* Capitalize the first letter of every word in a hashtag #LikeThis#StrongerTogether #Accessibility #Disability #Solidarity

While I'm beating the drum about #UFOI, I'd like to credit the admins who, upon learning more and discovering just how dangerous this initiative is, have voted with their feet and left. https://gitlab.com/ufoi/ufoi-site/-/commit/6d197fa161452aa630b88c3583918c2b4aa2872d @ufoi

If you're a Mastodon server admin, and you bind yourself to a "united federation" that sets flagrant bigotry as the bar for intervening to protect vulnerable people from a poorly run instance...... and requires consulting _both sides_, even in egregious cases...... and mandates a month long process before taking any action...Then you're doing more to protect abusers than to keep vulnerable people safe.And I will moderate accordingly.#UFOI #MastoAdmin

Asking on behalf of an anonymous friend:Any tips or guidance for organizing a remote workplace?EG, avoiding using company resources is hard when all comms go through company resources. So what are the best practices and recommendations?#Unions #Unionize #Labor #WorkplaceOrganizing

There are things swirling around fedi meta about union.place following our decision to stop offering our blocklist to aggregators.I've been taking my time before commenting, as hastiness does not serve anyone well as we build cross-movement solidarity in the fight against power structures that divide, extract, surveil, and oppress.As of now, accusations are being levied against the entire modmin team and are circulating in public.I'd like to offer my own commentary. 1/6 🧵
