@inthehands hey, I actually named the shared folder in a NAS "LilNASX" at one point!

My mom expressed a potential interest in the Fediverse, and I'm looking for instance suggestions!

She's a lactation consultant, and going back to school for public health. She's also interested in social justice and neurodiversity. I'm thinking probably a mid to medium large instance, and a general purpose one might be good to start, but any suggestions would be welcome.

"Every year, we encounter new, often ill-conceived, bills written by state, federal, and international regulators to tackle a broad set of digital topics ranging from child safety to artificial intelligence. These scattershot proposals to correct online harm are often based on censorship and news cycles...we propose another solution in a new report: Privacy First: A Better Way to Address Online Harms."

"The CEO of Spotify thinks music is made for free and is his to sell, promoted as ‘content’. Please always try to buy records (‘vinyl’), cds, T-Shirts and go to gigs where you can afford to support bands you love."

@binarydigit congrats, that's really cool!

@HauntedOwlbear @kitoconnell as someone with an interest in ancient history and linguistics, and thus Proto Indo-European, I very much agree. I've unfortunately seen some white supremacist stuff in that area, and it's important to kick them out rather than ceding ground.
