Micro SF/F stories by O Westin  

"Our neighbours to the east have such a small army," the prince said. "Why don't we just invade and take over?"
"Their knights carry swords forged from moon dust."
"So? Are those sharper than the swords of our knights?"
"If they are able to go to the moon, what else can they do?"

Micro SF/F stories by O Westin  

A spaceship landed, and an alien emerged.
"We come in peace," they said, "Take us to your librarian."
"Er... Don't you mean our leader?"
"Why? We already have leaders."

The instance I'm on was defederated by lots of instances a while back. Nothing to do with me. Consequently, there were lots of people I could no longer follow, and I lost followers.

it's a bummer that all y'all are here simply because you hate elon; it means that most of the influx to the fediverse lately has been trend-following idiots.

maybe some good will come of it.

the best part about covid being a bit more under control for a little while in 2022 is that it allowed me to resume being a slut

defederating instances means you limit the reach of the content of the users on your own instance. defederation cuts both ways. you should let your own users block content they don't want to see. defederation should be used only for cases of spam or things it is literally illegal for you to have on your hard drive. if you find content objectionable, let your users choose if they want to block it or not from their own eyeballs.

100 Mastodon myths:

1. Mastodon is hard.

FALSE. It’s a "soft"ware. Not hardware.

2. You have to use Linux to post on Mastodon.

FALSE. FreeBSD and OpenBSD are also supported.

3. You need to learn to use the Vim editor before posting on Mastodon.

FALSE. There’s also an emacs plugin.

4. Mastodon is only for computer nerds.

FALSE. As you can see, we sometimes try to make jokes that everyone could understand.

i say again: please please please tell me people to follow. my TL needs more content!

i bulk followed like a thousand fedi people whose accounts i found in the "following" lists of other users who seemed cool. this is how i used twitter, i would add like a zillion people, then unfollow anyone later if i saw things i didn't like in my TL.

apparently mentally unstable people are extra common here; i got a lot of hate mail for even causing *follow requests*. imagine asking for consent being inappropriate.

all sorts of image classification shit phones home to Apple in macOS even if you don't use their photos app or icloud. it's insane how much nonconsensual, non-obvious network activity there is when using photos on a mac.

note that i do not use icloud, do not use photos.app, and have all icloud/itunes domains blocked. for some reason mediaanalysisd is still phoning home to apple. "privacy is a human right" my shiny metal ass.
