@lauren
Excellent. Finally some major ex-X action. 😁
@lauren Everyone should leave X. It's a cesspit.
@Iveyline @lauren
Musk doesn't understand community needs moderation. Ergo, online communities also need moderation. I tried to warn him. He kicked me off.
I was a member of many internet BBSs back in the early 1990s. Those that thrived had good moderation and protected everybody. Attacking the person was never allowed.
@Eka_FOOF_A @Iveyline The way things are going, we may end up back on BBSes fairly soon anyway.
@lauren @Eka_FOOF_A @Iveyline
Usenet, but without the AOLers?
@lauren @Eka_FOOF_A @Iveyline Who's got a landline any more?
Show me how to hook up a modem to a cell phone?
@grumble209 @Eka_FOOF_A @Iveyline I have several landlines. If you care about communications in emergencies, you need at least one, if you can still get it.

@lor@goingdark.social @lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org you can do that today!
NodeBB is a BBS that federates with Mastodon, etc. 😊
@lauren heeeeyyy - that's my union.
I should probably reach out and say good job.
@lauren Good. More of this, please.
@lauren Nazi salutes are okay, but CSAM is not? Fine, if that is what it takes.
@ai6yr There's a difference between what the owner of a platform does and what actually takes place on the platform and how the latter affects day to day use for a large organization that doesn't really have simple alternative platforms to use.
@lauren Yeah, I understand, just griping into the void.
@lauren
About time.
(jfc!)
