rather than upgrade google analytics to a new major version—why not instead write my own analytics library on a sunday afternoon -
But, you wanna know which political offspring are completely f--ked up beyond any remdemption?@mastodonmigration Well I don't think you have the authority to shove un-CWd posts down our throats.
(At least you could post the politics stuff under a separate account, you know?)
What I posted is not a personal opinion, it's pretty much community consensus. Ask other admins and mods, especially those belonging to marginalized communities.
Posting disturbing imagery without a warning feels exactly the same as posting conservative propaganda. You can even decorate it with the "free speech" argument that MAGA fans love to bring up.
If your followers don't have the patience to click on a headline to read your posts, then I don't know what else to tell you; your followers are a reflection of you.
For now I have to unfollow and mute; sorry that it had to come to this, but this is about boundaries and obviously you're not respecting them.
Good bye.

But, you wanna know which political offspring are completely f--ked up beyond any remdemption?@mastodonmigration Hey - sorry to insist on this but you realize Content Warnings are a thing, right?
I get that you want to evangelize your political position, but I don't recall asking for the picture of two assholes holding a dead leopard.
Furthermore, your account is supposed to talk about Mastodon Migration. It wasn't supposed to be a generic political account. I did not even THINK that you would start posting this shit.
Seriously, what rock have you been under? One of the MAIN things about our community is respect and the use of content warnings.
Posting political stuff without a warning is like the opposite of what Mastodon is supposed to be. And you, of all people, do this?
I asked you on previous occasions about this behavior; and you didn't even reply.
Please, I beg you, this is about consent. STOP POSTING POLITICAL STUFF without content warnings.
This isn't Twitter. This is the Fediverse. We are a community, not a bunch of potential eyes for clout and advertisement.

Wow, new lore just dropped!Wow, new lore just dropped!
Copying tumblr post text verbatim for posterity:
In this unpublished tablet, held by the British Museum, we find the copper merchant Ea-Naṣir and his associate Ilushu-illassu writing to a couple of men to reassure them. Although the situation is missing some context, there are some real gems in the context of the famous letter to Ea-Naṣir.
One of the men intimidating the recipients is named Mr. Shorty (kurûm).
Ea-Naṣir complains that people don't believe him.
Ea-Naṣir mentions giving "the ingots that we talked about" to someone.
The repeated encouragements — "don't be scared!" "don't be critical!" "don't worry!" — sound a lot like Ea-Naṣir is trying to reassure someone that a situation hasn't gone sideways (but it has).Say to Shumun-libshi and the Zabardabbû: [1]
Ea-Naṣir and Ilushu-illassu say:
As for the situation with Mr. "Shorty" and Erissum-matim, who came here, don't be scared.
I made them enter the temple of the Sun-God and take an oath. They said, "We didn't come about these matters; we came for our businesses."
I said, "I will write to them" — but they didn't believe me!
He said, "I had a quarrel with Mr. Shumun-libshi." He said, "[...] to his partner. I took, and you did not [...] You didn't give to me."
Within 3 days, I'll come to the city of Larsa.
Also, I spoke with Erissum-matim and said, "What is your sign?" [2]
I said to the kettle-maker (?), "Go with Ilum-gamil the Zabardabbû, and take the shortfall for me, and put it in the city of Enimma."
Also, don't neglect your [...].
Also, I have given the ingots that we talked about to the men.
P.S. Don't be critical! Get the [...] from them! Don't worry! We’ll come to you. [3]
[1] Zabardabbû is a Sumerian loanword that literally means "bronze-holder" but came to mean some sort of official title in the palace and temple. Given the context, though, it may literally mean "coppersmith" here.
[2] The "sign" could mean an occult omen, a personality type, or even a password.
[3] This "postscript" was written on the sides of the tablet.
