RIP Tinu. This place won't be the same without her. I remember her worries on how her death will effect her family. If you can help to support them, we should take care of them as she took care of others. She was selfless to the last https://www.gofundme.com/f/honoring-tinus-legacy-with-compassionate-support
There's so so so so many bigot-friendly instances on this network. You want to build a Better Social Network? Drop them all. They're not invited. Do not need. Will not miss. Defederation is a feature in a decentralised network, take control on this front. We're not Twitter or Facebook here, we're our own boss and making a stand here is piss-easy to do.
@ruari Nopes, back to ye olde Bandcamp, records, piracy, and keeping playlists on text files and spreadsheets and post-it notes scattered all over the place
I joined Spotifiy again today against my better judgement. Was really excited to move my playlists over and get organised, but it was pure dogshit instead. The onboarding experience was desperate for me to listen to the Joe Rogan podcast (far-right conspiracy theory pedlar being paid up to $250m by Spotify). No option to block it too. No user agency or safety features = A hard no from me. 10 minutes of trying to find a block button, they've lost me again for good. Gross.
Big love to @packetcat this weekend for all the absolute bile being thrown their way and not only pushing through it, but also doing the very hard work of cataloguing further racist-friendly spaces on this network and gifting that information to the wider community *for free of charge*. That's a lot of emotional and administrative labour! Show some support if you can: https://subscribe.packetcat.ca/
If you run a business social media account, have you posted a statement against racism at this crucial time yet? If not, here's the one I posted along with a link to a refugee charity I support x
It's never lost on me that when a white person comes out with a political post the replies are generally not full of raging weirdos. When a Black person posts about politics on here though? Oh fucking dear you lot turn into absolute dickheads
