I've got a quick favour to ask. If you're reading this post on Mastodon (or the Fediverse), please click boost.

How come?

I recently moved across to my own self-hosted single-user server (using GoToSocial.org). For a bunch of reasons, including visibility across the Fedi, it would really help out.

"when I say 'deescalate all conflict that isn't with the enemy' people are always like, 'oh but how you define enemy', for me it's simple: if there was shooting tomorrow would they be shooting at me, or at the people shooting me. that's it that's an enemy."

(Margaret Killjoy)

Alright. We're starting to get into the planning and coalesced action phase!!! Yay!!!!!

It starts with:

"I was wrong about one big thing in 2024: I did not realize that most American institutions—the media, the legal world, big business, universities, the tech sector—would immediately capitulate to Trump."

and continues with:

"Once you accept that reality, our next steps become clear."

And lists out short and long term actions (with details). Plenty of room for discussion, hashing it out, disagreeing and counter ideas, and just plain trial and error (perfection is the enemy of good enough / hesitation kills and all of that).

Good to be in this place. Folks are not just fighting back but fighting back together.

And she shared it with two friends, and they shared it with four friends, and so on, and so on…

This is an excellent meme! Give me a hand: let’s make it go exponential.

Would you help a poor single-user Friendica server admin out and boost this post?

Boosting will increase the number of servers my server federates with.

Thanks!

People, please stop wearing so much perfume/cologne. Jesus Christ, people are trying to eat. You smell awful.

Curious -- how many dedicated e-readers have folks owned since e-ink devices started being a thing? (Not full-blown tablets that have ebook apps, just dedicated e-readers.)

Please boost and feel free to reply with more like what was the first device you bought, what you have now, best one... whatever.

@hannu_ikonen @seachanger Our job for the foreseeable is to make sure every jury-eligible person in the USA is aware of their power to render a not guilty verdict regardless of anything they've heard or seen in the trial.

The thing about jury nullification is that it's like our current SCOTUS: jurors don't have the right to do it, but they have the power. Nobody's going to tell them they have that power unless we do.

You asked for it.

On this day, I chose violence.

Since there’s been a resurgence lately of the “mastodon is mostly just for folks who use Linux” thing …

… i’m now curious about my community here

(i’m offering intentionally crude and ungranular options in this poll)

“I use Linux …”

(Please boost!)

This is an experiment. Please boost.

http://mastoddosnt.ddns.net/

Here's the idea: This post is going first to my followers, then, if they boost it, to other people. This domain has been registered for only this experiment. I should see in my web server's logs when mastodon instances start crawling the site for info. Then maybe also some curious humans.

I just want to play with my monitoring a bit :)

Cards Against Humanity formed a super PAC to show how easy it is for corps to influence the election. ❤️

How is this not illegal??? Cards Against Humanity is PAYING people who didn't vote in 2020 to apologize, make a voting plan, and post #DonaldTrumpIsAHumanToilet—up to $100 for blue-leaning people in swing states. I helped by getting a 2024 Election Pack: www.Apologize.lol

If you're reading this, please #boost so I can get back to being federated with the #fediverse. Unfortunately, the data center I've been hosting with for years and years encountered some serious issues. I had to move suddenly, losing almost everything. I took the chance to change the software I use. But I've still lost all of my followers, all of my federation, etc! It's also taken down rblind.com, my passion project to get more #blind folks off #reddit. I'll be bringing that back over the coming days. In the meantime, hi! I'm a blind guy who uses the #NVDA #screenreader, loves #accessibility and works in the field, and reads tons of #fanfic, #litrpg, and #sciencefiction and #fantasy in my spare time. Nice to meet you!

LB: I don't understand why nobody else seems to have a 1 strike and you're out policy for mobile app push notifications. The only thing I allow to do push notifications on my phone is texting. Not even Discord gets to send me push notifications. Apps dictating when you look at them? Fucking ridiculous

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend! CFP is now closed. Onto the hard part.

In the meantime, check out our site (jawncon.org), join our discord, connect to our AOL AIM server, listen to the jams from DotOrNot, play with some of the con servers (0x1.jawncon.org), and make plans to come on out! This one is gonna be fun!
