    I just finished my hour-long interview with Oxford University concerning their study of Mastodon and decentralized social media.

    They were especially interested in what we’ve done here at Veganism Social, as we have our own fork with custom features that address common complaints such as content discoverability.

    Veganism Social’s use case was exemplary of the benefits of decentralizion. Our moderation is uniquely anti-speciesist, and the community has a clear purpose beyond ‘general’.

    My analyses of the technological and sociological benefits of decentralization are extensive. I (currently) have a deep understanding of Mastodon’s code-base, and how to use it. I also worked as a software developer for centralized social media, and now moderate a subreddit with 100k members.

    I could not possibly exhaust myself of exhilarating insights to share.

    Surely, the Oxford study will broaden awareness of how decentralized social media will benefit society.

    Next time my wife asks me to stop info-dumping, I’ll banter that Oxford might think it’s worth listening to. 🤭

    They’re sending me an Amazon gift card as compensation, and of course I’m spending it all on candy.

    Wants a national abortion ban
    Wants to end funding for Ukraine
    Wants to end same sex marriage
    Wants to eliminate Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid
    Part of the Ken Paxton lawsuit to overturn the 2020 election results
    Was THE MASTERMIND BEHIND THE J6 PLOT

    There are no moderate republicans. Only traitors.

    Amazing how so many here are expert lawyers who know exactly what the prosecution is doing in every case, and then pass judgment on them for doing it all wrong.

    People, I love you, but we know very little/nothing about what’s going on in the Trump cases behind the scenes.

    Jumping to conclusions before knowing facts is pointless and confusing. Wait and see.

    @GottaLaff @Teri_Kanefield It is this internet rando's opinion that you do not need to address every internet rando's comments. You do so much for us with your excellent reporting, I would prefer you be free to focus on that. I hope you will neither comment on, nor favorite this post, and I will continue to greatly value your work either way.

    @GottaLaff What is that saying about 'if you lie down with dogs you wake up with fleas'? Any woman who signed up to work in that white house, for the Pussy Grabber in Chief, should have fully expected sexual harassment. I'd be more surprised if she wasn't harassed.

    @kolev @wfpb If it's a non-vegan restaurant I usually bring a chocolate bar or a couple of cookies in my purse just in case they don't have vegan desert (I require a little bit of desert at every meal). In my experience, most non-v restaurants don't have vegan desert, so I will ask them something like 'I hope you don't mind, but ... ' and of course I like to let them know I'd have happily bought a desert if they had any.
