A fun quick enby flag lesson 😋

> the yellow at the top represents those whose gender exists outside the gender binary,
> the purple indicates those who do relate to it, having genders that fall somewhere between "man" and "woman" or are considered a mix of them.[16]
> The white represents those who are multigender, with many or all genders,
> and the black refers to those who are agender, without a gender.[17]

#Trans Kings, Queens, and Royal Inbetweens:

If you’re #VoiceTraining for your transition, please listen to me:

1. I’m proud of you 😌
2. Your best is more than enough ✨
3. You’re allowed to feel proud just for trying, that’s all we can ever ask of ourselves 🏳️‍⚧️🫶

And if it’s on your list of plans, and you can’t or aren’t ready to start training today - that’s okay too! You have all the love and validity I can convey, and know there is no time pressure or deadline in sight either - whatever happens, you have got this under your control, and all will work out because we can will it so, I promise 🫂

“ActivityPub is an open technology so it’s fine if Facebook uses it” is a nonsensical take.

“Houses” are also an open technology but it’s very much not ok how landlords and other capitalists use it.

If you believe open standards and open source alone will protect you from the destructive force of capital, then you’re in for a harsh awakening. Or you could listen to all the people who have been harmed by or studied these mechanisms in the past already and learn something before it’s too late.

So here's what makes me nervous about the Fediverse: Over the weekend, two admins had a disagreement & defederated their servers. They then resolved their differences and refederated.

Only problem is, all follows across those two servers were broken and people now need to recreate them manually. And depending on whether or not they were following the drama, they may not even know why it happened.

This is, in a word, bad. It puts a burden on users for something that was out of their control.

My #kbin app is now pulling data from kbin.social!

Took all day but it's looking good and should scale for a beta test. Up next:

• Login page
• Comment page
• Post actions

Also, built in mind w support for #Lemmy instances too ⚙️

For now calling the app Kmoon 👍🌕

Time to give you all a peek into what’s been happening with calckey.social.

I have been hesitant to talk about it, but since so many of you have put your trust in me, I need to be as transparent as possible.

The growth of calckey.social happened very suddenly and nobody expected it. Prior to this spike, we had more options. We had a database specialist on standby who could optimize things should we need it.

Unfortunately, just prior to the spike in traffic, this specialist suffered a medical emergency that took them completely out of action. As in, they couldn’t work at all.

And then, lo and behold, we had issues with the database. We made short term fixes, and got help from the community, but I knew that we had to wait it out before this database specialist returned to action.

Yesterday, as @kainoa and I were on the phone with this database specialist, calckey.social went down. And while this specialist was helpful, and we got a suitable path towards moving forward, suddenly there was DNS/IP address problems that prevented us from applying further fixes.

This morning @kainoa made a phone call, and the DNS/IP address problems were finally resolved.

During the outage, so many of you sent us messages of support. You have no idea how much this means to us.

Thank you 🙏

-"Your restaurant should serve more meat."
-"But it's a vegetarian restaurant."
-"Most people are meat-eaters, you are turning people away by not giving them what they want."
-"Why would I run a vegetarian restaurant in order to serve meat?"
-"Because you want to grow. Growth is what matters above all."
-"But I want people to eat less meat? That's why I founded this place."
-"You can offer them vegetarian dishes too, the ones who want them will order them."
-"But most won't?"
-"Most people don't care about vegetarian food, and I resent your snobbish criticism of their choices. By not serving meat, you are being puritan and elitist."
-"Why are they in a vegetarian restaurant if they don't care about vegetarian food?"
-"Their friends eat here, they want to check it out too."
-"So, maybe that's a sign that people DO care about vegetarian food?"
-"No, that's impossible. Vegetarian food is too difficult, people get confused by the lack of meat. They want famliarity."
