The Fediverse - the network of decentralised social network apps - has grown almost 40% over the last few weeks in terms of active users (almost all of which are new user accounts), and the increase currently shows no sign of slowing down.

IndieWeb services are run by people, not companies. If your IndieWeb service provider equivocates like a big corporation or just can’t tell you directly that they support queer people, or disabled people, or immigrants, or anyone else who is in dispair right now, then you deserve better. Even if you don’t realize it.

Trump revoked a chunk of the EEOA, eliminating protections against discrimination for minorities and formerly-protected groups. You don’t need me to tell you that this is disgusting.

What I will say is this: pay attention to what people in your social spaces are saying about this. Watch how some of them will try to downplay the impact or dismiss your concerns.

These folks are showing you who they are. Pay attention and believe them.

liking a fascist because you "just like rockets" is like saying you like hitler for his paintings: no you don't, those rockets (and those paintings) are shit. good rockets don't explode, those are called bombs.

… My “Variable Fonts for Responsive Design” article from 10 years followed an even older article I published almost 12 years ago now, titled “Font Hinting and the Future of Responsive Design”, also at A List Apart:
https://alistapart.com/column/font-hinting-and-the-future-of-responsive-typography/

The ideas from that article are a bit more optimistic and still haven’t been totally realized. The closest thing we have to it now is automatic optical size adjustments with variable web fonts, but even that situation is still quite messy.

lmao, the idea that parents of queer kids can't be queerphobic. my parents try but they still do transphobic things. more importantly, we should really be thinking about all the homeless trans kids whose parents literally disown them. have you ever heard of found families?

Yeah really. "Oops, I should have posted support for the authoritarian white supremacist from my personal account not the corporate account" isn't the answer people are looking for, and neither "I know it's a fascist dogwhistle but am not changing it".

@protonprivacy you as a foundation and as a company really need to be treating this as an existential crisis. At this point there is absolutely no reason for anybody to trust you. What are you going to do to try to change that?

I wrote about the micro.blog stuff tonight, in response to Vincent Ritter's blog post that he posted earlier today (or technically yesterday since it's after midnight, good lord why aren't I asleep yet....).

It's late (early?) and I don't usually write posts like this, so I guess this is a bit of an experiment to see how it feels.

“This shouldn’t be news to anyone, but you can have a child or a loved one who is Black, and still be racist. You can have a child or loved one who is queer, and still be homophobic or transphobic. You don’t get to drop the job of examining and acknowledging your own societal conditioning just because you’re conveniently adjacent to a marginalized group. Allyship is action, not geography.”

Hollie absolutely nails it here. https://eilloh.net/2025/01/23/my-husband-asked-me-tonight.html

The whole thing with micro.blog is just so frustrating. I'm still trying to find all the discussions going on, it's D R A M A right now, but according to this page (my comment is at the bottom), Manton is going to make a blog post tomorrow?

Will be eager to read that.
