"The big platforms are owned by a handful of billionaires and run in their interests. Communities need spaces they own, and ways to connect them to each other."
We're doing a lot of exciting things here at the Newsmast Foundation, some of which have been kept quiet until now 👀

@alicemcalicepants This is obviously the correct response and they should hire you based on it.
@Rob_T_Firefly hahaha, it's some sort of leadership course for women that I'm chronically unable to benefit from 😅

@KatyElphinstone its exactly the opposite in my experience! I’m constantly telling non-autistic people that *they* are ignoring or missing the big picture, that they’re focusing on the consequences and ignoring the causes, etc.
@sknob @KatyElphinstone the details are where the big picture COMES FROM argraghhh
"oh it's just a few errors" no, it's a pattern of errors that I can PROVE are the result of a systemic flaw. Nobody else caught it because nobody else was LOOKING
I broke up with my first ex over an argument that started because he wouldn't make me a cup of tea. He had made one for himself. Zero regrets, he was a selfish pig.
@fesshole Fessor dodged a bullet there.
And today in not particularly surprising news...
Vi bygger en mycket smal gångbana.
Då får vi plats med parkering på båda sidor av gatan.
Sen kan vi placera laddinfrastruktur för bilarna - i gångbanan. Där finns gott om utrymme.
@KristerIsaksson Kan inte tänka mig att vare sig rollator, rullstol eller barnvagn har det så enkelt på den där sträckan.
@tip there was a study published in the lancet, or the british medical journal last year I think, but I can't remember the details. generally accepted that ukrainian figures are optimistic, to say the least; equally, we are talking about huge numbers of russians killed or wounded.

More or less podcast found something similar. Thanks

My people.
My people.
We voted for a new kind of politics — not for old guard politicians to anoint themselves with titles just because they’ve held power for so long.
Contact your Democratic senators and demand an open and transparent process for selecting Senate leadership: https://act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-democrats-no-schumer-coronation/?source=mastodon

Fediverse
I’m new to the Fediverse, and so far I’m loving it
It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.
I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.
I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.
And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.
When was the last time you saw a movie that was released before 1950, excluding any disney movies?

Niche communities built around specific interests, from chess variants to linguistics projects like constructed languages. And occasionally something else, like a niche heavy music genre or something along those lines.
But I’m pretty burned out on Reddit, especially the way things are run over there
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
