@User47 @Gargron hey! The @mastodon team has been working on something like this and it’s almost finished. PM me where you want the team to send it when it’s ready :)

@tc_morekindness @FandaSin your book club has great taste! I love Erik Larson’s work, he really makes history come alive

@tc_morekindness @FandaSin Was it The Demon of Unrest by Erik Larson? If so, I just read that too!

If your business or industry wouldn’t exist without exploitation, then quite simply, your business or industry shouldn’t exist.

I'm thrilled about the launch of @altstore's support for ActivityPub. Welcome to the fediverse!

This integration will enable you to follow updates from your favorite apps and their developers right here on your fediverse timeline.

You can see their server's local timeline here, to get an idea of what that looks like: https://explore.alt.store/public/local

To me, this represents an innovative and exciting new way to spread the social web to new and different kinds of apps and services. What should we make social next??

And a heartfelt thank you from the @Mastodon team to AltStore for their generous donation 💞

@grimmy @LeahReich but all of that is not to say, "it's human nature so we should excuse it and move on."

it's to say — we know how and why we created this problem so let's stop building and participating in systems that exploit our basic human instincts for profit.

(like how you are already doing
/preaching to choir <3 )

@grimmy @LeahReich yeah I think that's absolutely right! I just rabbit-holed on this and check it out:

"“Witnessing violence and destruction … playing out in front of us in real time, gives us the opportunity to confront our fears of death, pain, despair, degradation and annihilation while still feeling some level of safety,” psychiatrist Dr. David Henderson told NBC News. “We watch because we are allowed to ask ourselves ultimate questions with an intensity of emotion that is uncoupled from the true reality of the disaster: ‘If I was in that situation, what would I do? How would I respond? Would I be the hero or the villain? Could I endure the pain? Would I have the strength to recover?’ We play out the different scenarios in our head because it helps us to reconcile that which is uncontrollable with our need to remain in control.”"

@samhenrigold it doesn't look like anything to me

@fu whomst dared to tell you that you can't call them toots?? I object!

@grimmy @LeahReich I think it's like rubbernecking, in a way. Sure it's an innate human impulse to watch because we're curious and maybe it triggers a survival mechanism or something, but that doesn't make it any less dangerous or unhealthy

“We all talk about how no one has any shame anymore, how people act in whatever way they choose, how people no longer understand how to behave in public and how selfish, how little regard humans seem to have for one another. Where do we think all this came from? This is the culture we have normalized by watching it on TV and sharing it on the internet, for years now. We expect people in positions of power somehow behave differently, to be better, but why would they? As a culture, we have rewarded this behavior. We gave those shows ratings. We gave our attention to celebrity fights on Twitter. We sent signal after signal after signal.”
