I imagine the Fediverse like a decentralised collective of cooperative-run libraries covered in moss and fungi, that are safe and accepting spaces for all except bigots, where people can infodump to each other about the most specific topics, are quiet sensory safe havens, have FOSS on every computer, and have a cat café that's also a repair café.
Outside, hundreds of bicycle racks line the walkable, breathable arcade by the community garden, with thought-provoking street art replacing ads.

Google: "We found that this gambling ad doesn't violate our policies against gambling ads, but you can personalise your ad experience to block the kinds of ads you don't want."
Me: "So, can I block gambling ads?"
Google: "No, we don't allow gambling ads so a toggle to block gambling ads doesn't make sense. What are you talking about?"

The past few days has been like living through the Cuban missile crisis except the Soviets don't seem to realise what they're doing and keep joking around

US Big Tech is conspiring with European (and American) fascists to wreck the EU's ability to even modestly regulate this rogue industry, which has unparalleled -- and growing -- power over people's lives.
Fascism and tech are an unholy, and maybe unstoppable, alliance.

ohhhh crying in the libraryyyyyyyy
A student in their final semester who has been checking out a laptop from us every week their whole time here just came up to return, not renew, one because they could finally afford their own and they wrote up a testimonial to talk about the positive impact it had for them.
There is a lot, way too much, bullshit at my institution, but these little moments where we get to really see what the library can do for a person is what keeps me in the fight.
