Dealing with remote instance moderation is a pain.
I encourage every instance that has a team of moderators to use https://github.com/polymerwitch/SupportBot by @polymerwitch and to reference the bot's account as your instance administrator on the /about/more page.
It'll allow users to contact all the team at once by sending it a message so you can reply accordingly.
Have you promoted homosexuality today?
“There were two worlds,” #ChelseaManning told the New York Times magazine in an interview published Monday. “The world in America, and the world I was seeing [in Iraq]. I wanted people to see what I was seeing”.
“Let’s protect sensitive sources,” Manning said. “Let’s protect troop movements. Let’s protect nuclear information. Let’s not hide missteps. Let’s not hide misguided policies. Let’s not hide history. Let’s not hide who we are and what we are doing.”
Mastodon the Ostatus protocol implementation–& whichever mastodon instance you're on–are commons. We aren't tracked or analysed. No-one extracts excess value from us. Everything that makes this work is voluntary.
No-one is compensated for picking up after us except through respect, consideration & donations. Anything good we find here we're responsible for maintaining & growing. W/o co-operation, without kindness, solidarity & mutual aid your instance–& mastodon as a social space–will collapse.
hey everyone guess who's back :O

Thirty-two years ago today, Philadelphia PD moved in to evict MOVE from their communal home on Osage Avenue. More than 500 officers discharged over 10,000 rounds in 90 minutes. The house was hit with high-pressure firehoses and tear gas, but MOVE did not surrender. At 5:28 p.m., a satchel bomb composed of FBI-supplied C4 and Tovex TR2, a dynamite substitute, was dropped from a state police helicopter. Four hours later, 61 houses had been razed. Eleven people were killed, including five children.

Who Is Publishing #NSA and #CIA Secrets, and Why?
- By Bruce Schneier

'...The message that comes with publishing seems clear to me: "We are so deep into your business that we don't care if we burn these few-years-old capabilities, as well as the fact that we have them. There's just nothing you can do about it." It's bragging...'
This is why I'm anti-labor in general: the bloody pace of this society is held up entirely by unpaid housekeepers at best and glorified hostages at worst.
