1) if one has to email their city council member to follow up on a service request that our system has failed, and
2) that I am a "fascist enabler" for not being willing to "scare the shit" out of the Mayor over transportation policy.

Yes, the problem is that the product is *too* good. No other reason they filed for bankruptcy... #PrivateEquityIsTheft #thisiswhywecanthavenicethings

Presumably because it's insensitive to people who have, through birth defects or accidents, have fewer than digits on one or more hands.

That's what I assume. In which case I'm out of any server that doesn't defederate with them, which negates much of the value of Meta being interoperable...which is something we've been saying most of the social web should be.
There has to be some sort of workaround that blocks Meta's data vampirism, but allows interoperability...? I have had the same question about Tumblr, Flickr, et al.

475 followers · 8009 posts · Server qoto.orgHas anyone seen this organized anti-trans campaign? I've been seeing a bunch of posts with:
- An anime girl avatar
- A short, violently anti-trans message
- A huge list of unrelated hashtags (which is why I'm seeing them)
- A video
I block the instances as I see them, but that doesn't help much as each seems to come from a new instance.
What defense does Mastodon have against such an attack? The only tactic I can think of is pre-screening instances before federating with them, which would be a problem for all small instances.

Yes everything happens for a reason. Though things could happen in a "prettier way" if we chose better actions or had better boundaries or if people just behaved better. ETC....
