I remember thinking 10 years ago tonight "well, at least 2016 can't be any worse than this was". Oops, never mind..
Let's hope this will be the year breaks the cursed streak we've been on.
@mattblaze You’ve always had the power to go back to normal times. Just close your eyes, #hashtag #three #words in every toot, and think to yourself, “There’s no place like putting a content warning on each and every thing I write.”
If you care about digital sovereignty and want to see your government join the #fediverse, contact them to say that #ItsTimeToAbolishX.
Help us make a list of how to get in touch with a representative in your area under this post, and don’t forget to #hashtag so your neighbours can find it 👇🏽 we’ll start:

Chatsworth Rd: Stalls and Code
A DRAFT story about markets, misfits, and taking back the commons (Tagline: “They came for the avocados. They left with revolution.”)
by Hamish CampbellOutlineTHE MARKET STIRS
Chatsworth Rhythms
Setting the scene: It’s a Saturday in East London. The smell of jerk chicken, sourdough, and incense wafts over Chatsworth Road. A young stallholder, Luna (17), sells upcycled clothes and zines with radical poetry. Her best mate Jaz (18) roasts coffee in a converted horse trailer.

I can only encourage you all to use #hashtags more often. I discover so many great accounts simply because they appear in my feed among the hashtags I subscribe to! I also would never have discovered some organisations otherwise. #Hashtags bring you your favourite content but also the audience that likes your topics or lives in your region/town.
Learn how they work and what you can do:

Today we are calling on institutions around the world to take control of their #DigitalSovereignty, including their social accounts. Governments should communicate directly with their citizens on open platforms, not through the mouthpiece of a corporation.

brooo this is has gotta be satire
@mainz_de, vielen Dank! Das passt zu #Mainz.
Und ihr seid in guter Gesellschaft mit z.B. der @unimainz, dem @ltrlp und ganz vielen
#Mainzer|n und Mainzer Initiativen und Vereinen. Mainz ist doch ziemlich aktiv hier, wie ich finde.
Nur werdet ihr auch zukünftig nicht unter jeden Beitrag ein Sternchen bekommen. Es reicht doch, dass alle eure Beiträge in der Timeline eintrudeln und gesehen, und bei Interesse gelesen werden - oder? Hier geht eher nichts unter.
Und: #hashtag nicht vergessen :-)
This instance seems to use some entirely new software, which is kinda cool in theory, but it federates pretty badly. The user interface also has some annoying bugs, notably the timeline refreshing throws out whatever you were writing in the input box, so I've had to compose this in a fucking text editor.
The thing you probably care a bit more about is that it doesn't have any real verification beyond a captcha. No email, no manual verification.
