  • It's run as a non-profit in a jurisdiction that has strict regulation against hate speech.

  • It's the largest instance and is run by the lead developer, "dogfooding" like this is good for quality control.

The only concern I have is burnout. When the admin comes back from his honeymoon to find people berating him for the spam he cleared when he should have been preparing for his honeymoon he may be a tad less motivated. We should literally give the guy a break.

@courtcan@mastodon.social @HCBunny@beige.party As a sexagenarian having realized I have nothing figured out I went into a period of deep internal reflection resulting in the insight that we do have something to look forward to. It's degeneration. Might as well be dancing.

@Natanael_L@mastodon.social @gerbrand@fosstodon.org @fraunora@chaos.social @ralf@r2.do For me as a reader the two account approach has value. It makes it clear when someone is speaking journalistically rather than simply expressing personal opinions like the rest of us. That often gets blurred. The separation would, I think, enhance reputations.

@mmasnick I’m deeply disappointed that neither of them drew attention to the (inadvertent?) humour of responding to the reporting of dick pics with “handled”.

@GottaLaff I'm looking forward to hearing Trump whine about the disloyal billionaires who won't help him out of this pinch.

"And only last year Elon Musk came to me, big man, strong man, tears in his eyes and said, 'Sir, thank you, than you for letting me use your image in the three amigos meme.' And now where is he? Cheapskate. Loser. That's what people are saying. I'm not saying that, but a lot of people are. A lot of people call the very very disloyal Elon Musk a cheapskate, and a loser."

@GottaLaff Reminds me of the old vodka ads.

"I used to think Perjury was a brand of enema until I discovered Smirnov."

@yetiinabox@todon.nl @mdstevens0612@mas.to I'm a big fan of Minetest's Hades game. On our LAN one kid farms and the other runs personal protection while I dig down to the good stuff.

@Jake_Vig@mastodon.online He's simultaneously disabled anonymous searching. Now you can only search Twitter if you are logged in which opens up possibilities for all kinds of shenanigans. Can we trust the troll in chief to not inject or exclude tweets for targeted journalists and politicians?

@reneestephen@mastodon.social "This game-related article is a stub." Which seems strangely relevant.
