Well shit. I hate to jump ship, but it appears this instance is not a good fit for me. Got one to recommend? Seeking a place that's not going to declare news events and political photojournalism as "NSFW content". (I may as well stay on facebook for that kind of nonsense.) Sharing cat photos is a blast, but I also have forthright opinions about what's going on in the world. If there's a specific Mastodon instance you think is up my alley please share!
@jumbanho I'm real disappointed. It's been a good run up till now and I've encouraged so many people to join it. Guess I'll have to consider it a "starter instance" moving forward.
@dxzdb@jumbanho I never said it was blocked. Read my post again. They decided that a photo which ran everywhere in the news was "NSFW" on Mastodon. I'll add that it's unsettling that an admin with thousands of users to moderate who has never interacted with me before is suddenly creeping on my page. That's some Elon Musk level behavior. Never thought I'd find it here.
Child murderer Greg Abbott adds two more children (and their mother) to his victims list. This is what happens when you allow a serial killer to play governor.
Omg that face. If you're in #Maine and are looking to #AdoptADog, consider this cute pup! I mean, look at him! ๐ Available through the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland:
Happy #GotchaDay to Ms. Bella Ciao de Sugarplum whom @quinrockphoto and I adopted from the Los Angeles animal shelter 4 years ago today! She's estimated to be about 7 years old now, and has brought us so much love and laughter!
I've been on Mastodon for over a year now but haven't been able to convince many people I know in person to ditch their various billionaire-owned, data stealing platforms for this one. So to have recently gotten a follow from a real-life friend made my day! Please consider giving @nojarama a follow! I can personally vouch for his awesomeness! ๐ #FollowFriday
Film critic and photographer Emilie Black puts out a fun yearly horror calendar! If you're into horror, or just like showing support for other artists, please consider throwing a few bucks toward this modest campaign... or share it at no cost at all!
