Why does the News tab on the Mastodon app (NZ instance) always say:

'The list is empty'

I've been waiting for some kind of varied newsfeed to appear since joining.

Small-town checkin?

I've seen users as close as #timaru and #rolleston, is there anyone else here in #ashburton yet?

What other little backwaters are you all tooting from?

I'll need some help in setting up a separate place to gather funds or I'll get cut off disability though is the only issue. Does anyone know how I can go about this and can anyone please help set something up because I simply don't have the energy.

Though I do have a WISE account it could go into if I can have help figuring out how to get the funds put into the card directly.

People will be able to post boxes of masks for redistribution to me and people can ask me for the masks and they will be posted some.
And I can collect funds to buy both N95s or better and also maybe some elastometric masks as well for people.

Just note I am disabled with extreme fatigue so if this becomes a thing that people are interested in contributing to and recieving from I'll be quite slow in getting them out because of how sick I am. I'll certainly do my best to get them out fast but again. I'm very sick and pushing myself can have devastating consequences so it'll be a slow project.
Masks ordered with cash to my wise account can probably be ordered and sent to people direct also so I won't need to get them in my hands to send them. Just an address and purchase a box or two.

I found a #MuskBro on #NZMastodon. Dude blocked me when I asked him why he was promoting Musk's crappy companies on Mastodon.

I would like to name and shame him, so folks know to avoid him. I'm sure that there will be more people like him creeping onto Mastodon, and we need a way of outing them. The last thing we need is for them to try to turn Mastodon into that other, awful social media platform we all ran away from.

Re: Image descriptions.
Adding a description to your image is a *huge* deal for #accessibility.
It was part of the culture here before the influx of new users, and it's something we'd like to keep.

There are more than a couple of #disabled/visually impaired users on this very server, let alone the entire fediverse. And it takes like 2 seconds, so just do it mmkay?
