A thought for trans allies in this time:

You often ask us what you can do to help. Well, here's something you can do. Wear trans badges, buttons, pins, scarves, whatever you've got. Explicitly. I wanna see that blue and pink EVERYWHERE.

Because the more of you cis folk do that, the safer we will be in crowds and such. It will mean that wearing a badge of support for trans people doesn't necessarily out that person as trans.

"But wait," you're thinking maybe, "if I do that, people might think *I* am trans!"

Well, why is that a problem for you? Would you be offended by someone thinking you might be trans? Would you be scared? Welcome to our world.

This is your time, cis people. You were all ready to call yourselves allies when it didn't matter more than changing your PFP background. Now the rubber meets the road. We need you. We need your help to normalise our existence to other cis people. It could save lives.

If someone accuses you of being trans (imagine being *accused* of existing while trans?), don't deny it. Ask why it matters to them. Keep calm.

so did i get this right:?
the main thingy is mastodon
the protocols are open
there is more (like friendica, diaspora, ...?)
my instances server fetches all that stuff from all the other instances (over time)?
so can mastodon users see my screaming into the void (i understand @endless screaming now)?
or can i just see their posts and interact with them, as my instance crawls anything available?
are there cutoffs / limits / if not shown after timeout never seen?
is there a way to get back to the post i tried to comment on which disapeas after i am finished typing (as coming from facebook i alsways type in an external editor, then paste, not to provide biometric typing data)...
aaand: i create my bubble over time by using #tags? or by the tags defined in my profile? or both? or is there anyhow some kind of algorithm filtering and selecting what to show (feels mind blowingly open but somehow lonely the same time)?
do i need followers or friends for it "to be like at ..."?
will somepwny even read or answer this?

@endless@friendica.world If you want to be global, the main thing is not, in fact Mastodon, but Misskey (there are many more users because Japan has fully embraced it). I see you from Sharkey (a Misskey fork). I don't think there are cutoffs for time - it's just that most people look for new posts. As far as getting back to a post - that depends on your client/instance/platform. I can't say for sure about Friendica because I've never used it.

Fedi.Tips

Hi Arti, welcome 👋

If you need help have a look at fedi.tips and feel free to ask!

Your instance notices accounts and posts based on what your instance's members do, there are also optionally groups and relays pushing posts to your instance. (An exact list is at fedi.tips/which-posts-and-acco…)

If your instance hasn't noticed something, copy-paste its address into your instance's search box to make it notice.

There is no algorithm, it's all posts from accounts you follow.

it feels like the whole "traditional" "internet" is shutting down. 4chan - gone. youtube - not without account. facebook - live video scan your face to unblock...
still not used to this here - feels like shouting into a void :- (

My husband constantly refers to aluminum foil as tin foil and it's one of the elements of our relationship that periodically makes me want to divorce him.

On weekends, I sleep downstairs with her to keep her company (because she is 18 and has arthritis and can’t pull her body up the stairs but really needs a warm body to cuddle with)

It also means she has all kinds of faces when I open my eyes but don’t immediately get up to feed her
