for those panicking no i do not write my stories in google docs

a very useful recommendation

google docs ⁜loves⁜ recommending you change your present‐tense story to past‐tense for absolutely no reason

i see it a fair bit and i never would think to do that, but it must be commonplace somewhere

whence did the convention of using a pound sign as a form of asterism originate

anyway back to working on this calendar

how about you take care of the not‐faceless, not‐anonymous people spamming transphobic messages in the B·B·C and other news organizations, and then we can talk about the cis doing their part

buddy i’m glad you care about some pictureless rando on the fediverse spamming people with mentions but i just want good employment protections/accommodations and healthcare,

especially not if they, as an admin, are personally responsible for said rando’s actions

most people even on shitposter instances just want to have a good time and don’t want to constantly have to deal with drama and inter‐community attacks because of some rando spamming shit for the lulz

while average users may differ, generally speaking shitposter/freezepeach admins and mastodon admins both take comfort in the mutual disconnectedness of their circles and are not fond of anyone who tries to stir up shit between those groups

and it’s been this way since the GNU Social days

« Who's the ⸺ making accounts on everyone's instances and spamming people with @'s? » says one admin

« if you're going to abuse the services I provide without even speaking to me, then I will likewise not speak to you before I remove you from my services » says another

because, just to be clear, many of them i have seen are *very* upset and banning with prejudice

honestly there is a perverse part of me which is loving checking out all of these miski/plemmo admins who are upset about people abusing their services and having to justify their hardline open‐regs stance in the face of it

famous last words

plemmo is always either open regs or very small personal instances and i don't know if i’ve ever seen a miski server which didn’t have a signup form on the front page

do plemmo and miski even have options for making people request an invite to the server i’ve never seen an instance like that

they imagine themselves fucking… but only because they are getting fucked
