@salad_bar_breath@SallyStrange One thing I noticed about their "collections" is they are totally dependent on the backing library. I have multiple library cards from around the country and the offerings change depending on which one i sign in with. That being said, hoopla and kanopy both have great content!
Another day, another influx of spam! This time they’ve moved onto mastodon.world, so we’ve temporarily limited that instance. Hopefully we’ll see some better tools/protocols to prevent these kinds of annoying DM-based spam attacks sooner than later on Mastodon.

1: Netflix is paid for by my T-Mobile plan. Literally no direct cost for me
2: me paying for or not paying for Netflix has 0 effect on their bottom line. Heck, even if all 9,000,000+ mastodon users boycotted Netflix that’s like, a drop in the bucket for them. They gain 9m subscribers per year, they’ll be back in 12 months to where they were before.
3: I assume the fascisim comment is towards X? Read my first statement. Things can be good and bad.
What is the plan for social.lol federating with threads.net, is it something we're open to (until evidence supports a different decision)? I am really excited to be able to interact with threads users. If you're taking votes, I say let's stay federated @adam
@adam This is a great post, and i think it aligns with my views as well. I think de-federating from a platform just because there are a few bad actors is perpetuating the behavior that drove us to mastodon to begin with. I appreciate the response, and look forward to our continued experiment with threads and omg.lol!
Okay #Fediverse, let’s get something straight. We are all grown ups here (hopefully) and can make choices for ourselves. We alive in a society that allows us the freedom to choose for ourselves what to do.
Why would you allow or want to be part of an instance where they choose for you who or what to block? I understand that there are BAD people on #Meta, just as there are on EVERY platform on the internet.
Give the regular people on each platform a chance to been seen.
I have been waiting years for something like this to happen. There are very interesting accounts on X and Meta I would love to interact with, but don’t want to create accounts in those platforms.
isn’t it up to the individual users to decide who can see their content and who can follow them and who they follow?
much of mastodon is open to the public ALREADY so how does this increase the existing risk given my points from 1?
I’m happy to understand other people’s point of view, but it almost seems irrational to think this will be a net negative to the ecosystem. I think there are enough protections in place.
