OKAY I ADMIT IT I LISTEN TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND I LIKE IT

🫣

I wonder are there any CC licensed meme repos? 🤔

I am going to start blocking people who toot to me about how the fediverse works and how I can go find another server. So please don't. It's unhelpful, at best.

In case anyone thought it was helpful to 'splain to me how the fediverse works:

- I know how it works.
- I am well aware that plenty of instances exist, and that one can move between them.

My issue is how a sensitive topic such as language was refused to be acknowledge, and reasonable requests to improve insensitive language also went unacknowledge.

The entire issue was reduced to "my server my rules." Which wasn't my issue.

You should know, that when I'm told the volunteer admin of a ~60k (~16k active) user instance tells you that you can't speak Irish there because there's no Irish speaking moderator...

Twitter/X permits speaking Irish. And there's no Irish speakers moderating there, either. And... the Irish speaking tweets are all quite civil and haven't caused issues.

Twitter/X is larger than ~60k.

Reviving an oldie but a goodie since it appears relevant right now
