So I just had a transphobe try to piggy-back off a recent popular post I made, presumably to gain reach. i have a decent following here on fedi, but am a micro instance. They too were a micro instance. By default, people on micro instances are not easily discoverable other than by interaction, so if you have a following on one, it’s generally because you’ve built it “organically”, as it were.

They presumably thought that by posting transphobic rage bait in response to me, they could get me to reply, and my reply would federate to my followers, and then they’’d be seen.

Instead I just instantly defederated their server with no response.

They are howling into the void, and nobody is there to hear.

This is not Twitter. Just because someone replies to your thread doesn’t mean the rest of the word will see it. This is the achillies heal of bigots here. Most big instances will moderate them into oblivion, so they start micro instances, but unless people actually like what you’re saying, and interact, you simply won’t federate.

And they won’t even know I made this post now. LMAO! LOL!

Didn't watch the Oscars and hate to be a spoilsport, but isn't it INTERESTING that the way they specially recognized the Very Feminist Mainstream Lady Movie was with a musical number exclusively featuring men

I'm doing this tomorrow, and I am so prepared: all my little numbered stickers stuck to the right bits of my bike, pannier packed with things I might need, cycling clothes laid out on the bed so I can grab them in the morning. Now to begin the process of completely shitting myself and wishing I had never signed up to do something even vaguely outside my comfort zone. https://www.ridelondon.co.uk/our-rides/ridelondon-essex-60

In the first criminal trial of a former US president, the Trump hush money case is now in the hands of a NYC jury to render a verdict after 70 minutes of instructions to the panel from the judge.

A reminder to writers to look up inflation-adjusted values before making assertions about the increase in their worth… https://www.theatlantic.com/books/archive/2024/05/rare-book-private-collection-ethics/678254/

Inflation calculator screen shot showing $191,000 in 2015 is $255,000 in 2024.

I guess About by PCalc for Vision Pro came out just too late to make it into the running for “exceptional spatial experiences” 😅

@ianbetteridge I’m currently on holiday, and took a couple of snaps yesterday for your enjoyment. Looks like Mushroom is no more, though. We did look. (We wandered around Hockley and the Lace Market area)

Good to see Ice Nine is still there. As a youngster, it used to puzzle me as to why someone would name a shop for something so deadly. But now I get that it’s just a cool reference.

Fewer than three weeks now until the days start getting shorter again.
