haven't been able to hyperfocus on a video game like this in ages it's been GREAT

and it's all thanks to being sick enough to no longer feel bad about playing video games

and also discovering the setting to make it run at more than 30fps xD

choosing joy wherever i can

please boost!!! :boostRequest:

do you enjoy the work i've done organizing a mass-defederation of meta's threads with FediPact? are you hype in the pipe for the fedi memoir i'm 50k words into writing? do you like the rad cybersyndicate instances i've set up? the cool clothes i DIY together? my pirate radio station, vantaradio? my awesome videos? my amazing selfies? my posting generally? just wanna give a trans girl a nice gift?

well i'm an impoverished neurodivergent trans woman just trying to survive and find stability so if you wanna support me anything helps me keep being able to do all those cool thingies!!!

here's a summary

the arstechnica article is a reprint of a wired article i got interviewed for

the pcgamer article was similar and ended with a quote i got from one of my favorite folk punk artists

the bbc article mentions fedipact in passing

the techcrunch article is more recent and mentions it

the sagepub link is an academic paper somebody wrote about it

wedistribute is another one i was interviewed a bit for

and the privacy nexus one goes into a lotta detail about it

as far as like the core concept broadly is it's explained on https://fedipact.online/ and https://fedipact.online/why but tl;dr it's an initiative thingy for instances to sign to commit to blocking threads.net for various reasons related to meta's horrible business practices

lmk if there's any other info i can provide!

also forgot to update the wikipedia section link oops

edited in another link here it is in case the edit doesn't federate cleanly

https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/08/mastodon-ceo-calls-metas-moderation-changes-deeply-troubling-warns-users-cross-posting-from-threads/

i think the fact that the mastodon software was actually legiterally named after the mastodon band as it was gargron's favorite is lost on a lotta peeps

#mastodon

no this isn't a shitpost i'm 200% serious

i can't find a source for this now btw

i think i asked him and he told me once

i'll try to find that post

ah okay it's cited on his wikipedia page

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugen_Rochko

i hope to one day be notable enough to warrant my own wikipedia page lmfao

hey somebody should totes try making a wikipedia page for fedipact and/or me and see how it shakes out lmfao
