Happy New Year 2026 to all the Fediverse in Australia! :awesome: 🎉 #NYE #NewYear2026

I really wish everyone would stop making fun of the people they don't like based on their physical appearance. We really need to collectively grow up from this high-school bully mindset. When you use appearance instead of ideas and behaviors to criticize someone, even someone deserving mockery, you are also shooting at everyone who might look like them, even the ones that might be incredibly good people. There is more than enough content to talk against when it comes to the tyrants that currently surround us. Talk against their ideas, their words, and their actions. Be relentless for that. But their physical appearance is irrelevant to their moral deficiencies. Mock their words, but not their looks.

Men in tech stop patronizing women in tech 2026 challenge.

Just so you know, sometimes I inadvertently write typos. Yes, typos are a fact of writing life. Especially when posting when I'm tired, or without my glasses on. My autocarrot is working against me for this. If I catch a typo early, I will edit it (thank you edit feature 🙏), but if I don't catch it early I might decide not to correct it. The reason for this is each time you edit a post, it sends a notification to each person who interacted with it. If I edit a post with 500 boosts for a minor "it/is" typo that isn't really changing the meaning, I will be annoying at least 500 people with a notification just for this. And it's worse if I edit an already edited post. I try to be considerate in my estimation of the annoyance of the typo vs the annoyance of the notification. Thank you for your patience and tolerance with my typos.

I love that on the Fediverse thinking "this is such good moss content" and "wow, these mushrooms are really cool" is totally normal. 🍄‍🟫🌱 #Fediverse

My code phrases to signify distress if I ever get kidnapped will be: "I agree with Sam Altman" "You should stay on Facebook" "I use AI every day, it's so useful!" 🙃

Abusers always try to test how far they can push the line, how far they can push you without consequences. Billionaires, tech bros, and politicians you know well but that I will not name are the same. Trying to "appease" or "ignore" them never works. Anyone who has dealt with abusers before knows this. The only thing that does work is stating and *enforcing* strong boundaries firmly right from the start. Right now, absolutely nobody is doing this with them. And so, the abuse will only escalate.
