@kitoconnell KOSA isn't the first bill like this. Wonder what the marketing angle was that queer people aren't seeing the problem with this version of the same control grab.
@georgetakei Even Leslie Jones has something to say, as she fights for fellow actors and speaks up on the misconception that all Union members are "rich":
@xoagray I wonder if many furries know about it. I know we got quite a few furry Maso instances,, maybe 1 furry Friendica, and at least 1 furry Calckey instance. Im glad to see more expansion into different AP things
@xoagray I don't perceive that same thing about furryfediverse.org. There is at least one of the non Mastodon furry instances displayed there. Furryfediverse.org is not Mastodon only
@xoagray Yeah. It's a matter of people knowing and wanting to have thier instance (of whatever Fediverse protocol) listed. I found one of them on there and have been tryin furry Calckey
@Mrfunkedude Yeah....this thought is closer to my wheelhouse than I'd like. I absolutely believe it would be possible. Already had one companion Chat AI that has already affected human beings in an emotional way
@Mrfunkedude I'm gonna be honest, I think people should stop using mastodon.social. That instance was getting large and now it's just unwieldy. The moderation is not exceptionally good and so some other instances defederate from it.
not that another influx is coming, you can see how a bigger instance, considered the "default" can introduce a big Point of Failure in times like this.
@Mrfunkedude What we really need to do is look at that from the perspective of the 1960s. Like, was there a push for such surgery bc the production covered Jeannie's bellybutton up? Did it start a trend like the 2010's decade trend of the thigh gap?
@Mrfunkedude I know it might be a pipe dream, but I'm kind of hoping that the whole clout aspect of social media and social media influencers doesn't come over to the fed of us too much. Within each respective fandom/peer group that I consider myself a part of, I definitely feel like I'm just happy to be where I am, with no real care of being front and center, deep in the mix.
Clout doesn't work for me, whether I try it on for size or I am on the receiving end of it.
@Mrfunkedude Well, you are definitely well equipped with the dad jokes. I wonder how many times you have made your child roll their eyes at some joke that they think is silly. That's peak dad humor right there
@trixter@Mrfunkedude I'm not diagnosed as neurodivergent but even I must agree with the way Trixter describes this. Federated TL is absolutely a firehose.
