Replying to all the random individuals that seem to think that Iām āendorsingā one of the Fediverse products over any other, and seem to be making a big deal over #akkoma vs #mastodon etc.
Thatās not the case. Iām actually a horrible MIS person, and I would never want to maintain my own server. Iām a programmer for chrissake!
The same way you should fear me if I hold a soldering iron, you should be very very nervous if I were to do any server management.
So all credit (or blame) for the choice of Fediverse platform goes to @monsieuricon, who maintains kernel.org and just made it really easy for me to try this out.
ā¦ and on a similar note: not only am I not much of a MIS person, Iām also not much of a social networking person.
I foresee a lot of disappointment in the future of any followers of this account š®.

Fedi, meta musings (not drama, just musings) [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
I've seen people here and there talk about receiving massive amounts of harassment on Fedi for being some marginalised group, whether that's queerness, gender, race, or something else, often leading to them leaving. The most recent one was from a woman with multiple times my followers, but I've also seen the sentiment from people with a fraction of mine 
While I don't go into their replies saying this because it'd be rude as hell, I just don't seem to get harassed. Replies I get to my posts seem genuine, ernest, understanding, and thoughtful, and I can count the nasty DMs I've gotten over my 3+ years on fedi on one hand (with fingers left over for a mug of cocoa). Nastiness that finds me tends to be individuals I'm asking to not whitewash poc or to use CWs to not retraumatise marginalised folks, but that's at most once every month or two. I'm part of 5ish marginalised identities yet seem to get less harassment than a bunch of people with only 1, and it's got me thinking a bit 
Cutie.city is a fairly lax instance when it comes to blocks, so either our mayor does some seriously pinpoint precision work combined with future sight or that's probably not the main cause of not getting harassment. It could be that those people with 1 marginalised identity are more marginalised than my 5 combined, but irl, at least, one of mine can't even use bathrooms in government buildings, and I share some identities with people I've seen speak about being harassed so that's probably no it either 
I've had multiple posts hit 3 digit boosts, and it's not like I make don't make tons of posts that have room for reply guys 
Thinking about it, the conclusion I come to is that all of you who follow me are to thank for my experience on Fedi. Not only do you yourselves engage with me in ways that make my time enjoyable, the circle of connections you have also seem to be relatively safe for my posts to be boosted into 
Thank you all for that because it's made me fall in love and stay in love with Fedi for over 3 years now, through multiple instance migrations and through various difficulties (both on and offline), and made me feel like this is home for me in a chaotic world where home is hard to find 
Please continue being kind to me and to each other~

:boosts_ok: Antifascism (actionable), PSA [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Hey Fedi, I know there are a good lot of you want actionable ways to fight fascism. You know how one of the strategies that fascists use is to overwhelm people and make them freeze up, unable to fight back? 
I know many of you might not be used to this because it doesn't really exist on major social media platforms, but we have a thing here called a content warning (CW) that collapsed a post with little custom tags on it. Think of it as consent. Instead of forcibly pouring Scottish breakfast tea down a stranger's throat, you can ask them if they want it and warm them it's a smidge hot to chug
This is especially appreciated by those of us that are marginalised because we have to deal with trauma, horrid news, and the like on a nearly daily basis as it is, and CWs allow us to decide whether we have enough energy and emotional capacity at that moment to deal with more of it which can literally save some of our days. (To use myself as an example, I'm mostly bedridden and spare emotional energy can decide whether I'm able to physically take care of myself that day or not.)
It's a small thing, and it may feel awkward or uncomfortable at first, but I promise once you get used to them, other social media sites will feel like needless barrages on your sanity and you'll feel oddly naked trying to make posts then realising they don't have that feature 
#Antifascim #SocialJustice #Fedi #Mastodon
p.s. if you need ideas for terms to put as part of the cw, I'm happy to help share some common ones I see~ 
RE: https://a.junimo.party/@steffo/115844851437816611
why does vanilla mastodon prevent CWs from trending anyways?
seems counter-intuitive to the design philosophy of promoting the use of CWs
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/17431#discussion_r814358712
i guess that since trending posts are always public, as an admin you'd want to avoid having adult content visible without an age gateā¦
but aren't trending posts approved manually? 
@fridgelite (i 100% agree with the sentiment but i believe that vanilla mastodon prevents CW-ed posts from trending, so technically you do lose something, just a thing that's meaningless in comparison and which all glitch-soc instances fix anyways)

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #Mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn'tāI intend to stay on and continue to advise the new leadership and contribute, because Mastodonāand the fediverseāis one of the very few beacons of hope for a better web.
