If you are running your own #Mastodon server, perhaps as a trial, and you decide to kill it, can you do one quick tidy up command before you pull the plug?

On the command line: tootctl self-destruct

This will notify the #fediverse that your server is on the way out. Otherwise, servers may try for days to communicate with you.

Thanks

Philadelphia coming out to protest the hate group Moms for Liberty?

THIS is the right way to celebrate Independence Day ❤️

"The gays stole the rainbow from God" implies we're powerful and/or cunning enough to steal from a supposedly omnipotent entity and then keep them from taking the stolen goods back and honestly I can live with being perceived as this cool.

@mcp I'm going to add my voice to the chorus advocating *against* federation with Meta. They're not interested in building community. They're not interested in our safety. Their presence is motivated by exactly one thing, and that's greed. Any instance of Mastodon that is trying to establish a safe place for marginalized communities federates with Meta at its own peril and that of its users.

Happy Fourth of July 2023

Sounds like The Liam Nissan. He's been coming up with new insults for Moms for Liberty all day: Assholes with Casseroles, Bitches for Bigotry, The Minivan Taliban.

EDIT: since this is taking off I'll add the link to Liam's twitter:

I see the old “too many people are going to university to do Mickey Mouse degrees” trope is doing the rounds again. My son did a degree in Comedy Writing and Performance. Did he get a job in the creative industries? No. Is he earning a good salary? Also no. But he was greatly enriched by studying something he was passionate about for three years. What is wrong with just learning for learning’s sake? Education is not supposed to be merely a mechanism for churning out workers

If you celebrated January 6, then you don't get to celebrate July 4.

Amid rumors he was being forced out as Twitter CEO (for the 2nd time), Dorsey reached out to Musk, & together they planned his takeover, which Dorsey backed to the tune of $1 billion in shares. Jack said he planned this exit starting in 2020, which is also when he started publicly making friends with Musk.

He is one of the biggest owners of Twitter.

As Dave Troy noted in Oct 2022: They're collaborators, not competitors.

Know before you vote. Republicans divided over 15-week abortion ban ahead of 2024. But the division is only whether to tell you the truth before you vote. They will do it if you vote Republican! https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4076616-republicans-divided-over-15-week-abortion-ban-ahead-of-2024/

Happy Independence Day to everyone wishing to build a better America than the one we have, or any we've ever had.

Happy Independence Day to the true patriots: not those who say the US can do no wrong, but those who know the wrong it has done - and does - and seek to right it.

Happy Independence Day to those whose concern for others' life and liberty is universal, even to people denied it by the law.

Happy Fourth of July, in other words, to every person whose relationship to the people of the United States - and this emphatically includes its many minorities and marginalized groups - is non-adversarial, irrespective of how they may feel about its institutions.

But to the enemies of this diverse population, I instead say nothing. Many are perhaps even more wont to celebrate this holiday than I am, but it is not theirs, and never has been - America is not her government, nor the suffering caused in her name, but every one of us who live here.

The #SCOTUS conservatives used a case literally based on a homophobe’s fantasies to blow a huge hole in our antidiscrimination laws and revive the spirit of Plessy v. Ferguson. #LawFedi https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/supreme-court-303-creative-decision-mystal/

He was like „funny that“ and I said „well actually…“ and told him the reason: that we lost 90% of the generation that would be 50+ by now to the aids pandemic and many of the surviving 10% never came out.

You should have seen his face.
He just gave a soft „oh“ and there was SO MUCH compassion in his face.

So I fully expect a septuagenarian ally among my very queer bass group in the next weeks. 🥰

Also: today I saw this post on Instagram and that is what I‘m talking about:

Those of you new to the Fediverse looking for weather bots to follow for your local area, there's a doc for that!
