In order to make Mastodon work to my satisfaction I had to:
- Register a domain name.
- Set up a public facing 24/7 internet server, with a docker based web app stack.
- Put a reverse proxy cdn in front of it.
- Lock down that server in ways that aren't the default options and are poorly documented.
- Set up a system that checks trusted people's servers for shared fedi-block lists, using a third party script.
- Set up a system that cross posts to BSky.

Just saying, Mastodon isn't ideal?

I stan Lesbians that save bunnies from dogs and somehow guilt the Catholic church into making them saints. https://twitter.com/reviewwales/status/1794975069455933448

Please don't try to "Save" Lower Decks by extending it beyond credible writing of its premise into a thinned out zombie show. Let it take a final bow and wrap things up in a final series. Demanding ever more and more is one of Fandom's worst instincts. It hasn't been "Canceled", it's just coming to a planned end. And one that makes sense with the characters arcs completing their time in the "Lower Decks".

@notjustbikes Send him to The Troit!

Again, DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OFFERS FROM US PRODUCTION COMPANIES. They are trying to use you as strike breakers, and you will end up barred from the industry once they drop you after the strike is over. #WGAStrike #SAGAftraStrike #Solidarity

@goatsarah Not to distract from "'Black Lives Matter' focus is American Imperialism being imposed on Europeans" is a nuclear bad take. You might, for instance, remember that we have just as many Problematic Statues, because the slave trade and the systemic generational racism it created did not start and end in the Southern United States.

@goatsarah I struggled to understand what you meant by all this. And then I read your further replies on your site where you bring up Roma, and I have this to say.

Please do not use Roma as a way to say "White people suffer racism too!"

Traditionally, Roma were not treated or classified as White People. Some of us can pass as 'White', and many had to in order to flee Fascism. But Roma as a people were not considered 'White People'. See for example how Australia treated Roma immigrants.
