Sometimes I think mainstream pop culture is now more focused on the celebrities and personalities of the creators than on the creation itself. The creation is just an advertisement for the actual product: a cult of personality.

@Huntn00 @Mastodon - This is typically the way.
But when you get someone that has been on the platform for only a few weeks, has NO POSTS and only replies that repeat the same bigotry and Christian Dominionism creating a caste system where he/they are at the top and everyone is below them, it goes beyond just blocking. It is why I stepped in an engaged him. And I'm proud of my follower base to not jump into straight attacks. He was given lots of outs and people asked all sorts of clarifications.

Ignorance and fear are obstacles to progress.

I might agree, but we also need to ask “progress for whom?”

We must also be prepared for unintended consequences.

We’re gonna get a week of fall, y’all!

Now would be a good time to join Moms Demand Action For Gun Sense in America. https://momsdemandaction.org

It’s not just for moms. It’s for anyone who is tired of gun violence and gun deaths. We are helping support gun sense candidates across the country and helping pass sensible gun legislation.

#MomsDemandAction

The best way I know how to honor any community is by demanding meaningful legislative action on gun safety. Join me in telling your U.S. Representative and Senator to save lives by supporting a federal assault weapons ban.

Eight thousand posts and climbing, telling of all the horrible things about the new House Speaker.

Can anyone name one good thing about him? (I’ll wait.)

“She never wanted to try 19 defendants. She wanted 18 guilty pleas and one trial against Donald Trump.”

#Linux compatibility and performance on the desktop are so much better today than they have ever been.

Unless you have a compelling reason to run #Windows, you are missing out on a lot of performance, easy maintenance and actual freedom (from being nagged and advertised to death, among other things).

Especially in a world where so much happens in the browser, why subject yourself to Windows?

The president’s remarks, his first on the topic since the Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel, came alongside his renewed call for a two-state solution.

“Mike Johnson is Jim Jordan in a sports coat.”

We did it! We did it?
@veilfire35@mastodon.social has been suspended off the @mastodon.social platform, but we all know that he can just jump to another instance.
Reach out and thank @Mastodon (the admins for that instance) for listening to us and helping to keep Mastodon safe for everyone.
In the meantime, if we work together, we can push people like veilfire35 into their own instance so we can all defederate them. Baby steps?
This feels a bit more than that.
Maybe it's the first step to something else.
