"These people are committing grave crimes against the nation and its people. They should be known for this. It should follow them for the rest of their lives. It should be the lead in their obituaries. People who are introduced to them at parties should have a flash of recognition, hastily end the handshake, then turn on their heels and race to the bathroom to scrub their hands." @pluralistic

Looking for recommended #Mastodon communities for a friend who's into music and based in Asia. New to the Fediverse and interested in giving it a try. Thanks for your #help!

The Reuters Institute for the Study of #Journalism has no functioning #RSS feeds and is only present on closed social media platforms. How am I supposed to take organizations seriously?

If you're claiming to work on figuring out a future for quality journalism, get a frickin' RSS feed and at least experiment with platforms beyond big tech! It's not rocket science!

Should we allow #Threads to join the #Fediverse? So far I've argued that trying to shut the doors of what aims to be an open and inclusive network would be contradictory to the spirit of decentralized social media, and thus a step in the wrong direction. But reading @kissane's excellent reflection on the topic, and her compilation of horrors that should rightfully undermine anyone's expectation that #Meta is pursuing this path for any other purpose than extracting value from the Fediverse, gives me pause.

@ryanc That's nuts. It's time for US & EU airports to withdraw landing licenses for airlines that discriminate against passengers based on gender. Pretty sure that would change things in an instance. #GenderRights @Bundesverband @Bundesregierung

Is it possible yet to follow a #Flipboard magazine like this on one the #Fediverse?
