@tblu This is no longer capitalism, it's OLIGOPOLY. Antitrust laws and bank regulation must be enforced for capitalism to be capitalism.
@barbaraedelman NEVER, EVER FORGET...there are more of us than them. It answers a lot of questions and reminds us that we must work together to restore our home.
@AuntCrabby Oh yeah, sweet memories of that tune!

Freedom of speech is overrated. Those who demand it simply want to spew their hateful opinions. No thanks. I am happy here.
@Annothername @Oma_Trisha Taking me back to a good place, Trisha - Thanks!
@AuntCrabby Looking pretty comfy and content. Glad you and you're boyz are here!
@Ryan_FromCanada The social media paradigm shift had to start somewhere. We all picked this place to begin the reset back to normal engagement and ACTUAL social interactions. Glad you found us...!
@Msfrogladie73 My sister is a quilter so I have come to appreciate all the time and skill involved in this wonderful craft. She "rescued" an unfinished quilt top at a yard sale that was made entirely from feed sack cloth. So much heritage to wrap ourselves in.
@mantii And just like that, you're on your way to making social media the place for humans to connect without all the angst! Welcome.

1. Site is still recovering from a sustained DoS attack aimed directly at the API. Jester is fixing things as best he can.
2. This, combined with the lions share of 40,000 new users this week alone is adding even more pressure on the system.
Please try to bear with it. It won't last forever, I promise.

PSA - Link previews have been disabled while I investigate an issue with pulling them from their external source.
Don't freak out.

@susankitchens
Quick summary: There is a social media open source software called Mastodon. Site owners create their own "instances," places like this, but the software creates an additional column called the fediverse to see what's going on in other instances.
There was a kerfluffle because Coso blocks several countries that don't respond to complaints about bots and forum spamming. Mastondon's creator responded by cutting off our interaction with the fediverse.

@ArcturusSaDiablo @misterfrumble
The API is currently locked down (not forever) since the last 24 hours as it was being abused in order to create a DoS condition.
@Palior Hey! Welcome CoSo!

It’s also important for folks to know that you can shape and manage your experience.
Over the years, J has added a bunch of fancy capabilities but I am almost exclusively a simple chat kind of gal.
So ignore what overwhelms you, tailor it to fit your needs.
This place offers exceptional capacity to curate your experience.
💛
@calliebeaulexus You're not wrong though.
The amazing low price for "free speech absolutism."
@DangerJoan @Fiddies2 One of my favorite movies of all time! The housekeeper was pretty stellar as well. "My, what interesting china...are those men playing leap frog?"
