@socrates actually i don't think followers-only would help, it would have to be mentioned-only

@socrates you may want to consider making those posts followers-only? (your call whether visibility of the post or not federating subpar content is more important)

i appreciate the scholar.social admin replying to people who fuck up their image descriptions or don't use CWs on the public timeline or whatever but also it makes all of those posts federate here, meaning a disproportionate amount of the traffic we receive is from people who DON’T follow the rules

?????

sure, buddy, people are not limited to the decisions of union management and could go wild and undermine the entire negotiations process, but also that would be foolish as fuck and mean they wouldn't have enough money to live, so

okay i know i already said the thing about not being a CIA plant but are you really taking an ongoing strike for a living wage as an opportunity to say “fuck unions for being accommodationist”

@jupe this is pithy and inaccurate but a book is just a poem where every line is a chapter

start by thinking about how you want your ideas to be structured and how you might put them together in a way which “rhymes” and “resonates”. get a solid structure that you feel confident in (but don't force yourself to follow it too closely). figure out what the structure is “saying” and why it's important

then just fill it out with enough words to make it work

@djsundog lib/sanitize_ext/something something (there's only one file here so i don't remember what it's called)

you like what you like but also i’m dying over here

there is a lesbian in the zelda fandom who exclusively writes straight zelink fics

#Ao3TagOfTheDay: I did not follow APA format

@bloodwrites @Satsuma @admin (just using lists + the advanced column interface is what i do but:

1. it's important not to forget to add someone to a list after you follow them!! lol

2. it really depends on what app you use as far as how ergonomic this is on mobile)

our network is probably more like 50 lmao

also if you're on an instance of 100 people and they each follow people on 100 mutually-exclusive instances that's still only a network of 10,000. how much scale do you need

this scales for as long as instance admins believe it is important. there is no limit. the internet isn't that large

there are shitty people on the fediverse but they're not admins, they're girlfriends of admins who fly under the radar because enough people here won't block a server just because of who the admin is dating, myself potentially included

or else they are just assholes who don't know how to shut up

but admins themselves? we have zero tolerance for any kind of sketchy shit lmao and if there is any hint you are abusing your power you will immediately cease to be in my network or my concern

i'm in a discord server where people are prone to be like “but what if an admin did X?” and i'm always like “well, they would be immediately blocked” and they are like “that doesn't mean anything!!” and i am like “no, listen. look. i promise you. it Means Something”
