the FAA is mad because apparently smuggling computer equipment onto a private plane to dump is illegal and "I didn't understand how gravity works" is not a defense and

@benpate So, my main takeaway from this is that so many of us are having fun on the Fediverse, we forget to participate in conversations *outside* the Fediverse, like on Reddit.
But that's the point where new people are finding us. The conversations about the Fediverse happening inside siloed social networks are the threshold people have to cross to get here.
We should be on the other side, welcoming them.
Thanks for the reminder. I just joined /r/fediverse and I'll try to help.

A developer in Korea just built a Fediverse server that runs directly on CloudFlare.
/r/fediverse users responded:
"this is cancer"
"you are a horrible person"
???
Can you please help me with a genuine question: what would make the #Fediverse a more welcoming place?
Yes, humans are just grumpy sometimes. But a real solution can't just be more HOA members reading the rules at the door.
What do YOU think would make a difference here?
@benpate i wrote a piece on why i stopped hosting a server here https://gfsc.community/why-we-discontinued-our-mastodon-server/

getting spammed by the 'journal of pain' is a little too on the nose, academia
Journal of Higher Education's rebranding is going well, I see.
@onepict @Abstract_Mage_Annastasia @davidgerard Exactly. The great man of history model works great for a history written after the fact by pushy, malignant victors. But magnificent "I am no man" one-liners aside, no actual tide of social causality actually happens without some kind of public participation to make it happen. That's why the jerks work so hard to manufacture consent, and atomized individual helplessness too. There's no neutral position - even passive standing around is a response to the times - so these empires require people to *think* they're being neutral and not making waves, while being droplets in a crashing wave.
I'm hoping that this is going to be a pivot moment in public awareness of their own power. The cognitive dissonance of fake neutrality is there, and if you point it out, some people will see it, until that becomes the popular understanding (eventually). "You're standing for something, even if you never asked to be. You should choose what that thing is."

@MaddieM4 @Abstract_Mage_Annastasia @davidgerard With being sick and broke we're at the sharp edges of society. We still have something to lose, but I think it gives a clarity when you're not in the group that benefits from the status quo.
My Grandfather helped the British Underground in France until he Nazis got him. The interesting thing with resistance is that not everyone feels they can resist. But not all resistance was sabotage. Sometimes it was shelter or information gathering.
@MaddieM4 @Abstract_Mage_Annastasia @davidgerard But given the brutality of the occupation it's not surprising that most folks kept their head down.
It's not even that resisters were an elite, they just couldn't ignore it, they had to try.
Das Gutachten der @Freiheitsrechte hat große Wellen geschlagen und das zu Recht!
Das Gutachten sagt ganz eindeutig: Die AfD ist verfassungswidrig und ein Prüfverfahren wäre vermutlich erfolgreich!
Wir fordern den Prüfantrag ja schon seit Monaten und dieses Gutachten gibt uns eine starke rechtliche Grundlage für unsere Forderung!

I literally cannot conceive of a thing that isn’t about politics in our current society. My breakfast is about politics. The weather is about politics. When I buy groceries that’s politics. My job is a political act. When I spend time with friends later today that act will also be political. And not because we’ll be protesting but because existing as queer brown women in public is a political act. The fact that so many of my friends are disabled or neurodivergent or sex workers is political
And yet I still hear people say "I don't do politics," which makes me want to scream "Well politics is doing you, dipshit, and everyone you care about."
L'apocalypse peut-être ! mais avec une pelouse impeccable.
