idk feel like i would've waited a bit before publishing that one

this person wrote a prequel fic for this other person's fanfic which is only 3/12 done

even if it is supported in your instance, it may not be supported in apps, etc…

so like, chill; we’re the ones in control

this isn't iOS where new updates get downloaded and applied while you sleep and suddenly everything is different

it takes YEARS for any new feature to become widespread on the fediverse

everybody FUD-ing about impending hostile changes appearing in the fediverse once X terrible company starts pouring money into it, you need to understand:

nobody updates their instance lmao

i’ve seen a number of new admins asking for advice on when to block over the past few weeks

ordinarily i do not reply to these posts because my approach to moderation is pretty different from typical mastodon culture so i feel like it might send a wrong signal about what to generally expect from admins

but maybe i should try to put together a page for it so people can see

today feels like a good day for a reminder that even though the community of mastodon instances are often touted as a kind of anarchism which works, a stance which i mostly agree with:

most mastodon admins and mod teams have not had any kind of training in anarchist antiviolent community interventions. we’re actually really bad at settling our differences and getting along

did 9-11 happen in the QC universe

does QC exist in a mirror universe where flying on planes isn’t horrible for trans people

lol the NYT did a feature on journa.host

i love its angy face

sometimes girls just need a bigger hammer

i gotta say i wasn’t sure about the manic pixie gremlin pokémon which murders Pawniard to take the steel off of their dead carcasses and build a bigger hammer at first, but it is growing on me

so, like, it’s COMING but not here yet

okay, starting a new game, they DON’T (currently) support other spanishes but DO specifically label it as “Español (España)” which they don’t do for any other language

i hope they do canadian french too

which means if they DON’T have latin american spanish, they are at least planning for it

i can't confirm this but i can at least say it now labels european spanish as SP-EU
