So the new FediDB is quite powerful, allowing you to search specific software servers with the following optional filters:

- latest version
- open registration
- region (North America, Asia, Europe, Africa, South America, Oceania)
- mature servers (3+ years old)
- small communities (< 10k users)

Not to mention sorting by user count, status count, mau, and server age.

And you can also search by domain.

I’ll share a demo screencast shortly, I think you guys will love it 😊

@randahl Yet the MAGA minions (or sorry...supporters) can't, or won’t, see the similarities. They just keep spewing out excuses. 😢

Imagine this was 1944, and the Allies were slowly but surely starting to defeat the Nazis; but then in the middle of the complex war, a new US president came into power, and he suggested that Europe should now achieve peace by letting Hitler keep France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, and Poland.

We Europeans would laugh at that president. Just like we are laughing at Trump right now, for suggesting we should let the modern day Hitler keep Crimea, Kherson, Zaporitzjzja, Donetsk and Luhansk.

The best way to manufacture belief is to exhaust skepticism.

More graphs, stats and data ✨

The new FediDB is amazing, and I can't wait ship this massive update!

The other day I was thinking about the U.S., the war in Palestine, the history of slavery, and how modern slavery still exists.

What hit me? So many people, mostly white but also some minorities, support MAGA or think the current administration is doing a great job.

Why asn't our humanity grown more? 😢

Promises made.

In unity, there’s strength to confront Trump. In disunity, cowardice https://robertreich.substack.com/p/in-unity-theres-strength-to-confront?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

✊🏽 "We feel. We dream. We bleed."
Why is it so hard to believe
that Black and brown people
have the same dreams?
The same fears?
The same right to joy?

History told you we were different.
Less sensitive.
More dangerous.
Exotic.
Disposable.

You believed it.
And maybe you still do.
Because admitting we're the same
means facing what you've ignored.

"I am human, and nothing human is alien to me."
– Terence, African philosopher

We feel.
We dream.
We bleed.

Just like you!

When future historians write about the collapse of democratic norms, the receipts will be easy to find. Trump tried to overthrow an election. Called to “terminate” the Constitution. Now he’s saying he might want a third term—and no one’s stopping him.

This is how authoritarianism advances: resistance erodes, lawbreaking normalizes, outrage shrinks, and institutions go silent. The GOP isn’t being consumed by this. It is the mechanism.

There are no “good Republicans” in power. Just enablers, cowards, and fantasists dreaming of SCOTUS blessings and one-man rule. This isn’t chaos. It’s complicity.

@Daojoan Yeah, I know — it’s just incredibly sad that so many ignorant, hateful, and frankly dumb people actually voted for him.
But seriously, we’ve sanctioned or even imprisoned other countries when they ended up with leaders we didn’t like…
So why can’t we do the same now?

The Republican Party is a hollow, decrepit husk. It is not a political movement. It is not a governing apparatus. It is not even an ideology with any internal coherence. It is a decaying vessel for a set of impulses: authoritarianism, greed, cruelty, and fear.

"Graphite" software from Paragon, which has sold its high-end phone spyware to the U.S. government and holds itself out as more ethical than peers, has been found in the devices of Italian migrant rescuers close to the Pope, according to Citizen Lab and WhatsApp. Gift link: https://wapo.st/3Y2t8KK

"We have enormous freedom. That’s not a gift that was given to us, it’s a legacy that was left to us by centuries of struggle. By centuries of people that most of whose names are completely forgotten, the ones who created the freedom and the rights we now have, and that will be taken away unless you constantly defend them."

I've received 5 VC offers "to chat" regarding Pixelfed in the past few days.

Not for sale.

Pixelfed belongs to the people.

I'd rather be broke and true to my beliefs, than sell out.

That's why I'm organizing a Kickstarter to fund the ethical development of Pixelfed, Loops and more.

It's time that someone stood up to them, instead of joining them.

Are you with me?

De kutter i velferd for å kunne gi skattekutt til de som ikke trenger det. Men hey, vi må ‘spare’😠
