What is happening with #Pixelfed and pixelfed.social? Getting a message saying the server is running an outdated version. I thought this instance was the flagship... @dansup can you advise
@freemo I see what you're saying now. I can see how the headline could be misinterpreted. I also think that it benefits Cruz and his ilk to discuss this bill from a framework of "it's about free speech" when, of course, it's about enflaming culture wars and "fighting the woke." Free speech isn't intended to be free without consequences, universally.
@freemo@georgetakei 1. No funds for any rules about misgendering. 2. No consequences for misgendering. 3. No recourse for employees misgendered. "You don't like that we deadname you at work? Tough luck!"
@freemo@georgetakei I think you might want to take a minute to reconsider that you may be misinterpreting what you're reading, especially given that the bill is from Cruz, who spends virtually all of his legislative and leisure time railing against the sort of thing you believe this bill does.
@freemo@georgetakei uh huh. The "Safeguarding Honest Speech Act," introduced by Cruz and Rep. Andy Ogles (R–Tenn.) in November, states that "No Federal funds may be used for the purpose of implementing, administering, or enforcing any rule…requiring an employee or contractor of any Federal agency or Department to use—(1) another person's preferred pronouns if they are incompatible with such person's sex; or (2) a name other than a person's legal name when referring to such person."
@feditips I probably could have not been lazy and Googled that and gotten an answer! But I appreciate you taking the time to give me that info, and all the work you're doing with the Tips gig here. It's a valuable contribution and you're appreciated.
@feditips Is there a roadmap for development on the official Mastodon app (Android in particular)? I really like the UI on it but it is missing some key features that Tusky has
