@asya yeah thats why i haven’t done it either 
@asya same 😔
will trade making you dinner for the vacuuming i’ve been putting off?
@Forestofglory one of my faves 💛
@melodicake@hellsite.site i was actually looking thru my icons just the other day and pondering which one would be best for scaring off techbros (i decided letting my admins continue to defederate their instances was preferable eventually)
@Mintkitten07 this is lovely! 💜
re: OTW Board meeting thread
A random list of things the board could do to improve their meeting processes
1) announcing meetings in advance anywhere but twitter (and their secret unadvertised calendar which still gets them less than a week ahead usually)
2) announcing agenda items in advance literally anywhere
3) actually linking (and/or providing copies of) the relevant actions during "actions taken since last meeting" so people can read the things they're commenting on
4) pre-typing all of the preplanned agenda stuff that doesn't actually involve any discussion so we can get through it faster
5) giving attendees somewhere to submit questions in advance, so the board can prepare answers
6) giving attendees somewhere to submit relevant questions & comments about the meeting itself as it progresses
7) even sorta pretending that this is an actual meeting with real votes instead of the blatant zero discussion immediate unanimous vote bs???
8) providing copies of materials being voted on before the vote, so that people have a chance to raise last minute concerns (even better, weeklong public comment period before actual meeting!)
9) dropping the condescending "please email the board" notes until such a time as they've actually answered their existing backlog, so that the chat doesn't *immediately* fill up with 5-10 "uh i asked a question 4 months ago and never got a response..."
@kurt …what is the purpose of the nametag if people aren’t supposed to use it?
@Sugasugarune hey welcome!
@asya @anonflail @mssdare did you just have that saved waiting for the perfect moment or
(also appreciate the creators careful inclusion of his adams apple haha)
@pamela shoutout to breathing!
@melodicake@hellsite.site hey sometimes its (large instance closed forcing old users to migrate wave) or (inactive accounts returning wave)
@bluedreaming @pixelcats ah yeah i run into that sometimes bc tiny instance….sometimes i do searches from other instances just to see if theres anyone i need to follow haha
@Forestofglory brainfog is no fun, take it easy 
@1stSpikeNip
ah yeah i have heard that twitter has been having…even more issues than usual right now! I hope you and your friends are able to settle in comfortably
and yes, its a different server! its run by a friend of mine and very small, but i can talk to people on other servers, the same way you can use a @gmail.com account to email someone with a @protonmail.com account or any other email service.
meta, Ars piece
@maya @greyor@weirder.earth yeah i def prefer paying a little extra so that other people who can’t afford it (or are new and not sure if the place is worth the money yet or whatever) can still have accounts but i don’t see why i’d even care if another instance felt otherwise, let alone turn it into some sort of drama lol
& agreed on journalists having no idea what to make of this place, even tho really i don’t think its *that* hard to figure out
meta, Ars piece
@greyor@weirder.earth @maya hachy got banned for their admin making a bunch of super dubious takes on main and then banning donation posts as “spam” afaik.
I’ve never heard of eg. social.coop getting any shit for requiring people donate to their OpenCollective to get an account (i think its like £1/mo or something like that)
fedi meta joke poll, part 1 of 2!
