Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.
This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable — and used.
If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kinda… nice?" — that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".
So #KeepFediWeird.
It's cool that #projects is trending! Thank you, @simon!
I'll make this a thread about a project I'm contributing to for @pola's https://doma.dev.
It's a system for running test tasks to help hire #unity3d game developers.
We provide a sekeleton of the task and the candidates need to only add small additions to make it into a solution. Then the solutions are pitted against each other to rank them, incidentally ranking the candidates too. Think #ICFPC-lite.
This is the first benchmark AI! Hide your cubes, hide your edges, and hide your vertices too.
What an evening to parse some #webassembly with #lean4, a dependently-typed language.
Ok, Mastodon is officially a lot more awesome than I had realised. There's a federated server for everyone who's really into bitcoin, and, yes, it is full of people who are as awful as you can imagine. But, with one click, you can block the entire domain! 12.8k thousand crypto weirdos filtered out in a click. Amazing.
Sveiki, @agris! Priecīgi tev redzēt mastodonā!
@beka_valentine I want to tell you how grateful I am for opening my eyes to what elon musk is years before it was a widespread knowledge! 🙇 ❤️
The collapse of Twitter is a system breakdown. Mastodon and the fediverse represent something different: _system change_. From for-profit "Big Tech" to nonprofit, open source, community-owned public spaces.
System change is always harder than you think. It always incurs short-term costs, with hoped for long-term benefits.
The next few weeks will be really tough for the fediverse. Stick around, vibe with it, and you just might help us put a huge part of the web back in community hands. <3
Cute thread with cool people (and me): https://astrodon.social/@_astronoMay/109299372602273039
I absolutely can't describe the amount of positive emotions mastodon is giving me these days, in the wake of very suspicious news in regards to the western support for Ukraine.
I hope that there's going to be some clarity and commitment by the West soon, and I hope that we in the West will keep doing everything we can to telegraph our governments that we demand more support for #Ukraine, not less.
Then I'll be happy all around.
Welcome to all the #twittermigration folks!
Please read this amazing thread by Christine. A maker, a visionary and a great woman I am so honored to read in my mastodon feed... Which she helped make a reality.
