Dear Mastodon,

If you could stop suggesting that I change my carefully chosen camel case hashtags to all lowers, that would sure be swell.

"Autistic people tend to repeat themselves."

No, Allistic people tend not to understand precise, direct language the first time; so, we try to clarify.

We've experienced this enough throughout our lives, that it has become a trauma response.

#ActuallyAutistic

Was it not before?

"Infowars acquired by The Onion, will become a parody of itself."

As the Internet gets ever worse, maybe we should just all go back to Lynx and IRC? 🤷♂️ *sigh*

Which emoji is for TIL?

Or does it depend on exactly what I learned today?

Voting for Trump should automatically put you on a terrorist watch list.

If chat AIs ever start replacing rabbis, will they have to be bot mitzvot first? 🤪

They know full well they can neither deport nor house tend of millions of people. Their end game was always genocide.

If your poll watchers carry weapons of war, you don't have poll watchers, you have voter intimidation.

#Politics

Every now and then I come across someone espousing the hope that an advanced civilization from outer space will arrive to save us from ourselves.

And I wonder, why should they? Isn't that our own responsibility? What the Hell is wrong with us?

Does anyone else call kilometers "clicks" or is it just Canadians and sci-fi writers?

I hate that we don't really have any antiwar movies and series anymore. 💔

#MASH

Why does it seem like this still has to be said?

Nazis are bad.
Racism is bad.
White supremacy is bad.
Sexism is bad.
All bigotry is bad.
All persecution is bad.
Genocide is bad.

Fedi needs more *non* techies. ✊

I wonder how widely known The Onion is outside the English speaking world? I figure that now more than ever, it is important to make it clear to people who don't already know, that The Onion is intended to be satire. We can't really blame them that all too often, reality beats them to it.

Do you view individual servers as separate platforms or do you view the Fediverse as one platform?

Also, do you view Mastodon, Peertube, Pixelfed, etc as separate platforms or do you view the Fediverse as one platform?

I wonder if I should enable automatic post deletion to save server space for my instance.

Does it help? Does it hurt?

What's a good limit if I do it? 1 year? Less?
