In the past, I've posted scores of short story recommendations to #MetaFilter. As part of the current fundraiser, I'm interested in making further front page posts recommending short #scifi and #fantasy stories you can read for free online!

For the rest of August: MeMail me to tell me you've contributed USD $150 to #MeFi, and I'll make a post. $225 if you want to specify some kind of theme.

Whether you've never visited #MetaFilter, you're a longtime #MeFite, you used to participate but that was ages ago, or none of the above:

I am basically sitting back and popping popcorn pre-emptively because I predict this thread on Ask is gonna be super fun:

"What would the positive and negative impact be of going back to horses as our primary mode of transport instead of fossil fuel powered cars? I've been rolling this around in my head recently..."

Good morning #MeFites and all other Mastodonians

What's going on in your world today?

I'm moving my account to the unofficial MetaFilter Mastodon instance: @Tehhund@mefi.social https://mefi.social/@Tehhund

Over on #MetaFilter, I am a member of the MeFi Global BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) Advisory Board. We just posted a summary of our mandate, perspective, activities, scope, plans, etc.

Please reshare this with people who used to be #MeFites, especially those who left because behavior on the site kept making them feel unwelcome.

I'm a #MeFite (#mefites) and discover cool stuff there.

Also:

I'm active on the PoliticsFilter slack, which is home to a relatively chill group of left-leaning #mefites discussing politics. If you'd like an invitation, let me know.

Hello #mefites from #metafilter #metachat (including formerlies). This is matildaben. Please reblog so we can all find each other. Cheers!

To any other #mefites out there, I'm also on #metafilter.

Screwed that up: #MeFi #MeFites #Metafilter

@iona@social.coop Them saying, “Course I’ll keep the tattoo! It’ll remind me of the 2 best weeks of my life!” reminds me that a lot of people don’t care as much about accuracy as #Mefites

Welcome to the second wave of #Mefites.

I think I suck at this worse than I suck at Twitter. Anyway, still trying. #mefites

Hello and thanks to various #mefites for following. Never was a big twitter user, not sure how to use this one, but may hang around a while and see what's happening.

Trying to remote follow #mefites but server chugging is somewhat impacting my ability to do so successfully, so very much a work in progress.

Currently going through the #metafilter thread and following any #mefites I've missed. (#mefite)

... So, hey, everyone.

hey #mefites (#mefite)

Joyously following #mefites everywhere. I have a theory that randomising your social network is good for the soul.
