What a timeline we live in! The #Linux distribution #Debian just announced that they will be switching Mastodon instance. Why? "Recent events in the fediverse in general and related to fosstodon.org instance in particular have made me rethink the place where I’d like to handle the @Debian account in the Mastodon/GNU Social/ActivityPub fediverse." https://larjona.wordpress.com/2019/07/27/a-new-home-for-debian-in-the-mastodon-activitypub-fediverse-follow-debianframapiaf-org-and-possible-future-moves/ What kind of ABSOLUTE HORROR could it be that prompted the Debian distribution to abandon the clearly evil and horrible fediverse instance fosstodon.org? "Recently, an admin of the Fosstodon Mastodon instance made some comments that were disparaging to marginalized folk. The comment was relating to how they wish that a thicker skin would be adopted by some of the people they called “snowflakes”." https://bnolet.me/posts/2019/07/implicit-endorsement/ OMG!!! an admin mentioned that Snowflakes Should Grow a Thicker Skin! What a horrible thought-crime! Debian's decision to move away from that Mastodon instance over that suggestion is completely rational and logical and not at all bat-shit crazy.
