Oh, shit, I gotta go vote. We don't really have anything exciting to vote for, but there is a bail "reform" amendment I want to go vote against, and probably want to vote against some the various tax shelter for rich people amendments, too. (The former is Texas Ballot item 3, "Denial of Bail for Certain Violent or Sexual Offenses Punishable as a Felony Amendment", and most of the other amendments are tax prohibitions, including one that's a huge handout for one category of farmer.)

I'm feeling FOMO for SFSCON this week and TPAC next week.
One thing about being part of the Fediverse movement is that I have a lot of confidence in friends and colleagues who will be on the ground doing good work.
Thanks for everything you do, ActivityPub allies.

you, smug: "oh you like $thing? how cute! if you're lucky you'll realize $other_thing is better"
no one: "oh you sound like a pleasant person to be around! please tell me about $other_thing"

wish more people realized that smugness makes for poor tech evangelism

@alice thanks for making the Fediverse a better place.

I have an apology to issue. Yesterday, I called out a few large, open-registration instances (mastodon.social, vivaldi.net, and mas.to).
I was ticked off because (once again) a blatant Nazi troll account sent me (and several other folx) swastika photos and hate-speech.
I'm not apologizing for calling out large, open-signup instances. I stand by every word I said. But there's something I *didn't* say, and that's what I believe I owe an apology for.
When you have as many followers as I do, it's easy to start a dogpile—even unintentionally—and because of this, I always try to include a "be kind, don't attack folx" message when I rant about something. Yesterday I forgot to do that, and some mods and admins caught shit for it. It was my responsibility to anticipate my (sometimes overly) enthusiastic followers' reactions and head that off, and I failed to.
If you were one of the people yesterday who sent reports or messages that attacked *any* of the moderation team members of those servers, I would love it if you'd apologize to them. They're all volunteers, just like me, doing their best with what they've got. It's on all of us to make Fedi a safe space for each other.
To any of the wonderful volunteer moderators of Fedi who got nasty messages yesterday—or don't wake up every day feeling appreciated for their work—I'm sorry 🫂 you deserve better. I appreciate you 💞
Update: two of the three above instances' admin teams have personally reached out to me about my original post—and that's amazing! I hope we can work together to make Fedi a safer, more inclusive space for everyone (except Nazis).
