I said to myself…what if we stopped calling it gun control and referenced it as firearm safety legislation?

Think that would trigger the NRA and the gun lobby?

be good

The only proper pizza is plain cheese or margherita. There, I said it. 🍕 #pizzawars

#PizzaWar
When a place makes their own dough, sauce, and grates the cheese on site, ir doesn't need toppings. Just some oregano and a bit of red pepper flakes to enhance what is perfect as is.

People say fight hate with love, but they are mistaken about where the love should be directed. The victims of the haters should be getting the love, and the haters should see it. Offering love to haters is like trying to shake hands with a clenched fist. They don't want it, except to shit on it. Love must go where it is wanted. That is the nature of love.

Checked out a couple of the other sites and I definitely like this one the best

Tribel looks weird as hell

Mastadon seems to have people needy for attention like the bird site did

Wonderful thread by @Teri_Kanefield on hierarchy, government, patriarchy and justice

If we have a left-wing bent, it's because much of what passes for right-wing thinking in 2022 generally violates the rules around community abuse. #justsayin

So far my visit to CoSo feels a lot like a trip into Canada. Everyone is so polite and ready to embrace the refugees- yet kindly setting boundaries so we don’t step over lines of decency, whilst making sure we have what we need to contribute. I’m liking this.

PLEASE stop posting screenshots of hate and/or violent speech from other sources here without content warnings.

I just donated a little extra to CoSo.

I think this place has great potential and I'd like to see it become my new haunt, as it were.

Wandered over to the Bird app to do some unfollowing and blocking and such. It's a weird combo of blue checks and big accounts yelling about staying and fighting fascism and accounts posting slurs and creepy memes.

Starting to wonder if they know it's social media and not the beaches of Normandy.
