@docpop I love/hate that they're preserving the illegal anti-homeless planters in front of the lot during construction

this is why i'm not sharing the memeshttps://mastodon.social/@jeffjarvis/113130979669277731"Haitians committed the greatest sin possible in the modern world: We took our freedom back from the white man. Haiti is the birthplace of the only successful slave-led revolt in the 'New' or 'Western' world."
highly recommend CLR James' book The Black Jacobins for the story.

'I’m so close to getting housing. I need to be here tomorrow morning so I can try and get inside,' he said, trying to reason with officers as he was handcuffed and arrested for illegal lodging."

When you’re so weird that even the SF GOP won’t endorse you, the lone Republican candidate for SF mayor@skinnylatte "High-profile Republicans previously told The Standard they’re voting for Mark Farrell, a former mayor"
lmao, maybe "MAGA Mark" is not that far off

the dirty secret of car culture is that without constant implicit threats of violence, cars would be far too inefficient to ever get anywhere in the city.the dirty secret of car culture is that without constant implicit threats of violence, cars would be far too inefficient to ever get anywhere in the city.

i think we need our own consortium of flagship servers@jenniferplusplus @seachanger it's THAT hard technically to implement limiting replies?
oof.
-
i think we need our own consortium of flagship servers@jenniferplusplus @seachanger benefit I see would be ease of migration from mainline Mastodon to the fork.
this server I'm chatting with you from, was a mainline Mastodon server, and now it's a Hometown server.
also would benefit from the maturity of Mastodon having already been widely deployed, the attention it receives from security researchers, etc.
-
i think we need our own consortium of flagship servers@jenniferplusplus Why uniquely unappealing? In principle, forks of Mastodon that already have significant usage such as Glitch and Hometown could add improved safety features, and maintain them while periodically merging changes from mainline Mastodon. This probably involves a greater maintenance burden than those projects are currently prepared to take on, but that's the social problem I'd like to find a way through.

i think we need our own consortium of flagship servers@seachanger probably. see you in august 2025 to have it again

i think we need our own consortium of flagship servers@seachanger i was envisioning a "small servers council" that like, meets on videoconferencing to discuss what we want to see, and how we might achieve it. maybe north america specific for time zone reasons
-
i think we need our own consortium of flagship servers@seachanger while you're absolutely right, i think within that there's a lot we can do. a lot of people might donate labor or contribute to crowdfunding campaigns with the right structure.

i think we need our own consortium of flagship servers@seachanger social problems being:
1) how do we fund this work to improve anti-abuse/moderation?
2) how do we ensure that a critical mass of fedi users have access to software that supports the improvements (be that a Mastodon fork, or a different project like GTS, or just client apps that know what to do when they encounter a non-replyable post)?
3) more generally, bc Mastodon is open source, in theory we shouldn't be blocked by the Mastodon nonprofit's bad priorities; why are we in practice?
