Just came to this quote in “A People’s History of the United States” and thought it worth sharing — even though May Day is almost over.
“If the workers of the world want to win, all they have to do is recognize their own solidarity. They have nothing to do but fold their arms and the world will stop. The workers are more powerful with their hands in their pockets than all the property of the capitalists.”
If your instance won’t sign on, find a smaller instance that already has. There’s a list of a few hundred listed over on the fedipact site. 😉

Oh, nice! Dark Visitors (a list of known AI crawlers) has a #WordPress plugin that'll update your robots.txt whenever a new bot gets added to their collection.
It'll even let you pick the types of crawlers that you want to block.
We didn't like any of the other #WordPress spaces — corporate bootlicking, toxic positivity, shitty people, tolerance of racists, neoliberalism — so we made our own. 🧷
@boogah absolutely! The transcriptions have been getting worse and worse over the past year for me. I'm glad other folks are noticing too.
Been having a hard time keeping up with the constant changes and running into bigger and bigger problems with Squadcast too. Really not loving descript as much as I did this time last year.
