@tracyh sounds like an adventure for him then 😆

@puck yes, I detest that immensely

Wonder if I can send an invoice for lost income to my kids school for all the time we're having to spend not working while these strikes are on 🤔

@blueshiftnz I just want them to go do their job. If I want to earn more money I have to change industry. I am on comparable income and build half million dollar cars. Doesn't mean I make a ton. They were aware what industry they were training to be in, as was I.

If I wanted more money I would be retraining to do something else. But I want to do my current job so am capped for income. Pretty simple.

@zeborah that is how pay increases. To attract staff, you keep raising the pay until you get them.

Whereas they are already there, then grouped up to bully their employer. The teachers union is the one making my life difficult through their actions, not the govt - but that is what they want me to think.

@blueshiftnz

Anyone seeing a bunch if follows from me shortly... yes that is me on tinker.nz :birb_peace:

Keeping this account but importing my follows there too. I plan to put more of the "stuff I'm making/doing" over there as the instance is for kiwi creators/makers :birb_scoot:

@leighelse EV people don't seem to like these things being pointed out.

@clacke Yeah, but the stuff I use a phone for today I would have fired up Encarta

@clacke holy shit

@clacke do we think it wasn't long enough 🤔

@swmbo is excited: https://i.stuff.co.nz/business/132209339/ikea-breaks-ground-on-first-new-zealand-store

@thisismissem @alfredohno I am sick of playing what-a-mole.

They should set sign up to appproval, spam problem would then be mostly fixed. Not a new concept. Reducing the "friction" of making it the default with open signups... asking for it 🤦♂️

I just suspended for now, we would tolerate this from no other instance, so why should we from this one.
Update: reduced to Limit now on top of report queue. Will monitor...

suspending mastodon.social for now.

Excessive spam.

Update: Report queue cleared, reduced to Limit now.

mastodon.social now only Limited on mastodon.nz, will monitor reports and adjust to full suspend again as necessary.

@aurynn @alix omg that is idiotic.
All that needs to happen is reject all messages. Like Pleroma/Akkoma does.

I'd love to see the decision process they went though before implementing that. 😑

@clacke wait what 😳

@feditips I think this adds unnecessary load/traffic. Perhaps lazy loading over time... but social media posts are ephemeral really so meh.
