Looked for a LOTR-appropriate slack emoji and 💍 looks more “put a ring on it” which of course set off a tangent in my head. Imagine:

orcs of Mordor

Glee Club

Long read. Good insight into how long there’ve been issues around content warnings, their weaponization, and the remarkable whiteness of being in the Fediverse.

Since the beginning, basically. Your concerns are valid and they are not new.

I tried Mastodon in 2016 and if you think folks are starry-eyed about it now YOU HAVE NO IDEA. So I ignored it until Spring 2017, and thus missed the specifics mentioned in the post.

But anyways, as a federated network of services that is not actively being set upon by a dude who thought novelty flamethrowers were a great idea, Mastodon is an acceptable alternative to Twitter for a lot of folks.

@leah It works! I found a few folks that way, and I know of a couple who found me with my occasional #KEXP posts!
