A system that doesn't address the needs for climate justice and securing human rights is a system that has failed everyone โ€“ we need to keep both in mind.
Human rights and climate movements are stronger when we stand in solidarity together. Then we can also successfully push those in power to live up to significantly increased adaptation finance and immediately, drastically reduced greenhouse gas emissions. There is no climate justice without social justice and human rights.

Here's my prediction: After Twitter falls apart, Melon Husk will run a Mastodon instance for his fans and claim to have invented it.

@r000t That's an oof ๐Ÿ˜ฏ. I wonder what the thinking was behind that decision

@terryenglish Software.

The software, by default, won't talk to a server it hasn't seen in a week. It will start talking again when it hears from the remote server.

Which is following the exact same logic.

Corporations hold too much power in the global economy. Buy local. Buy used. Make use of what you already have or can find. Look for independent media.

I'm saying this out loud as much to y'all as to myself. I find myself consuming too much, especially from corporations. I need to do better. We need to do better. So. Shop at your friend's small business. Support the arts. Small is good.

Letโ€™s try this again. Where you at #fediverse? Boosts welcome so we can get the best sample size.

Mental health issues are raising exponentially with young people.. Mastodon has build-in all kinds of features like blocking, muting filters etc and โ€˜non-featuresโ€™ like constantly showing numbers everywhere on timelines, profiles etc.

Please know that #Mastodon is a safe place to talk about mental health. Talking about it can really help, we do not judge we only want to helpโ™ฅ๏ธ

If we can contribute even the slightest in battling this issue I say we should! Together! :blobcathug: :fediverse:

@terryenglish It's not a thing, it's a creature! ๐Ÿฒ

#DidYouKnow? The #Fediverse (technical: #ActivityPub) is not the only #protocol with #federation.

One such, and is the oldest, is #XMPP (formerly known as #Jabber protocol).

โ€” If the Fediverse is for the #SocialWeb; XMPP is for messaging and presence.

โ€” It has been around since 1999, and is developed at the #IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). Yes, it's not a hobby!

โ€” It is a #privacy -focused #InstantMessenger

I'm gonna keep posting this until one of you fucking boosts it

While some of the new users from Twitter are discovering the wonders of in the , I hope that perhaps they would like to try some alternatives to messaging? Might I recommend creating an or account. Ask around to find a local server (there's lots).

Some clients to look at once you've created a new account:
