@vkc oh my god yeah it’s unbearable. I swear I’m about to delete all of my social media
@danirabbit @vkc I used to love social media... since IRC in 1997, and I was part of each one of them (fotolog, myspace, icq, tumblr, etc). I had faith, you know? But since a copule of years I'm out of IG and Facebook (i don't have Tik tok). I like youtube and nowadays since 2022 mastodon. It feels quiet and calmer and of course it is advertising-free (yet). For me that helps a lot. I hope you can find humanity here tho
It's almost Febuary!
@catsalad Of couse it is.
My only experience with Jennifer Garner is from Capital One commercials, but does she talk to everyone like they're a toddler or is that just how she acts?
@Alice She's *winsome*!

If you think doxxing is a problem, lets talk about ICE/CBP seemingly have software to automate doxxing, accessing private records of the public without adequate justification, and then turning up at the homes of observers to intimidate them. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...
Most hashtags are pretty obvious, you just put # in front of a topic. For example if a post is about coffee it might have the tag #Coffee
However, many popular hashtags have difficult-to-guess names, so I've started a list to help people discover them:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/fun-and-useful-hashtags-to-follow-on-mastodon-and-the-wider-fediverse
Copy-paste a hashtag into the search box in Mastodon if you want to browse or follow it.
If you have suggestions for non-obvious hashtags that should be added to the list, let me know in the replies 🙂
If your justification for capitalism is "How'll we ensure people will do the work which needs doing?"... I find capitalists to be terrible judges of what work needs doing!
Just look at how much of our infrastructural software is maintained on a volunteer basis.
I dream of a future with less inequality, enough so that we don't need to justify to capitalists our right to live!
Year 1 of Trump’s immigration crackdown:
- U.S. citizens were held against their will.
- ICE placed at least 600 immigrant kids in federal shelters.
- Student activists became a target.
That’s not all. Our year in review: https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-mass-deportation-campaign-first-year?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post

Also critically, upwards of 70% of immigrants detained had no criminal record, many here through one legal process or another.
The immigration "crisis" has always been a farce.
The internet was not supposed to suck. Here's what went wrong.

Please everybody everywhere but especially NYC and Philly:
Get whistles. Get organized. Flier every business and tell them not to allow ICE in.
Tell immigrants that running from ICE works. Tell everybody else that getting in ICE's face works. Make sure hotlines are up and running and people know the numbers. Do not open your door for anybody you do not know (unless they are running from ICE).
