@goatsarah realising I am AuDHD made me go

OooOooohhhhHHHHHHhhhhh...

followed by lots of "fucking hell."

Genius here set off the building fire alarm whilst cooking.

As a several millennia old Eldritch Horror, it's my birthday today. Please do something unearthly/ghastly to someone terrible on my behalf.

@aral oh my god what a beautiful angel! All of the love. ♥️♥️♥️

Folks, when we are building spaces out here, please please please remember that people from marginalised communities who have built an income by participating in centralised social media, can't just drop everything there and start again. They will be extremely aware that every second they continue to use it, feeds the oligarch machine, but they need to feed, clothe, and house themselves. We do not all have the ability to just up and abandon established spaces.

These oligarch driven machines are extremely aware of this, and they make it difficult to leave on purpose.

Rather than saying DUMP THAT AND COME HERE OR YOU PERPETUATE FACISM, help create spaces for them that feel welcoming so they can grow new places here. This means making sure you don't fuck up early on and forget about people who aren't white nerdy blokes (I like white nerdy blokes too, but a lot of you need to pay attention!)

An example would be when Bluesky was still in invite mode, they failed BADLY to make sure racist usernames and the like could be deployed at sign up. You'd hope that disallowing slurs of ANY kind would be implemented from the get-go, but they weren't. When the Black trans community spoke up about it, it went ignored for too long, and all the while the platform contined to grow.

If you want people to come and participate in spaces where oligarchs don't reign, then make sure it's safe for everyone. There's no excuse for not doing this, you can't claim ignorance to this, and then ask people to abandon hard built spaces. You should know better.

Building new things means paying attention to things far outside our own experiences. If you don't know what to do, then hire someone who can educate you. Don't skimp on this, because it WILL bite you in the ass, as the saying goes. #decentralised #decentralized #fediverse #getfedihired

@dansup you can have pieces of jewellery made from the ashes of pets too. It might not be something you want to do, but that way you would be carrying a tangible part of him with you forever, alongside the space he has in your heart. ♥️

@goatsarah

Me: needs a solution to something in whatever game I'm currently playing

Searches internet for solution

Ten minute video for something that will take seconds, riddled with ads and the most annoying voiceover ever

Also screams in ADHD

@dansup the only terrible thing I saw on any of your platforms, was an account with an offensive username, which I promptly reported. It was on Loops and it disappeared really fast so you're clearly switched on to stuff being removed.

@aral I get it, it's a constant grind fighting them.

@aral

I dunno if you've seen this trailer for a parody film called Silicon Docks by Graham Jones:

It's the trailer for the longer film mocking American tech giants:

Unfortunately they've definitely got their claws into Ireland as you well know.
