New in Mastodon 4.6: Newsletters 📬
Mastodon servers now support email newsletters, which allow people without a social web account to subscribe to your posts via email. This feature is opt-in at the server level.
We're building Mastodon for people and institutions that want independence from corporate-controlled social networks, so they can reach their audience directly wherever those people are.

Happy Makerfield By-Election Day! 🎊 🇬🇧 🏴
I feel like this is an election for "Nigel Farage to be the next UK Prime Minister" or your other option, "there is some hope things might get better in future, maybe."
No pressure, Makerfield.

What would it take to get photo journalists and video journalists on the Fediverse?
They can keep using Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, etc, too.
But, what would it take to ALSO get them here?

2/3 🚨 Conservatives in the Parliament pushed for a second vote after being unhappy with the original vote's outcome. Their solution: ignore democratic agreement, just vote again till they get a favourable outcome!
🚨 Earlier negotiations fell apart because EU Member States (Council) would not make any meaningful concessions to the Parliament's balanced and proportionate position. Instead, they chose to pretend it's the Parliament's fault.

@therivercrow co-signed. The party by now has proven itself irredeemable by refusing to get rid of Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting, and refusing to counter the transphobic decision by the Supreme Court.
A vote for Labour is a vote for my rights to be taken away, a vote to create a hostile enough atmosphere in this country that I end up dead. You cannot vote for them now and expect to remain my friend.
The only truly moral vote in England right now is the Green Party. (Or perhaps a smattering of independents/"Your Party" candidates, but they're not a significant force). I grudgingly accept a Lib Dem tactical vote, but not Labour. Not to "keep Reform out", not because you think "Greens can't win". Do not.
(SNP and PC may be valid votes in other countries, yes. Still no Labour.)

@devlord @blogdiva very tangentially related, but this comment made me think of this… https://theshovel.com.au/2020/06/04/nra-accidentally-forgets-to-rise-up-against-tyrannical-government/

Me: Owls are boring. They just sleep all day and eat mice at night.
Them: Says who?
Me: Oh yeah, they do that too.

You want people to use your stuff, they don't care about typescript, they want better alternatives.
Copy. Steal. Replicate.
They want better familiar alternatives, not your nerdy idea.
Build for them, not you.

It's honestly been a long time since I've used Mint :linuxmintnew: with any seriousness. Nothing against Mint. It's a great distro from what I've heard. I'm a fan of Zorin :zorin:, and have been using it since the 16.0 days. I like that #ZorinOS is based out of Ireland (which I believe Mint is too) and not the United States, and it's just a solid and modern distro. #LinuxMint seems to have most if not all of those attributes too. Maybe it's time to give it another go?
