White hetero guy, keen to learn the things that my privilege has kept hidden from me
if your politics of liberation contain any kind of Homophobia, Transphobia, Misogynoir, Fatphobia or Ableism as praxis, their worth is negligible; they don’t mean shit.
Anyways just thought I’d put this out there, so you know what I’m about. I’m not always going to post about Giant Shooty Robots, Transforming Superheroes and Linux. LOL.
@theneurotrust As a white guy, Ruby Hamad’s book was quite an eye-opener!
@theneurotrust For me it was #SoYouWantToTalkAboutRace by #IjeomaOluo #StampedFromTheBeginning by #IbramXKendi and #WhiteTearsBrownScars by #RubyHamad

Honestly moving to Mastodon from the bird site feels like I just switched to PBS after years of exclusively watching a reality TV show called, I don't know, EXTREME HATEFEST: ORGY ISLAND or something.

Earlier today Elon Musk said that my ban was temporary, 45 min later he denied my appeal to reinstate my account and confirmed that I am *permanently* banned. The email I just received says the decision cannot be reversed.
I have never once violated Twitters rules or terms of service. I’ve never had a single tweet flagged, my account was permanently banned with no warning and with no reason, after I reached out to Musk for comment.

The policy that I allegedly retroactively violated by promoting my Instagram and Mastodon account, has now been deleted from Twitter’s website.

#JohnMastodon is proof that things *CAN* go viral here on Mastodon, but the key is that *YOU* are the algorithm. The reason that the John Mastodon meme showed up on other people's timelines is because so many users boosted the posts.
The lesson here is: please don't just favourite something if you really enjoyed it; BOOST it so that other people can enjoy it, too! This is the only reason why I bother to create as large a social graph as I can on Mastodon—to act as an amplifier. You can, too!❤️😉
Every single politician who legislates in other people’s pants has something they don’t want you to notice in their own.
Indonesia set to make sex outside marriage punishable by jail. This is outrageous.
