this is not twitter,

this is not bluesky,

this is a network run and populated by people.

actual living, breathing, thinking entities. not algorithms.

and people do not respond well when treated as if they were machines.

dear mutual aid posters,

if you don't want to be mistaken for scammers or spambots, please don't act like them.

this behavior includes, but is not limited to:

- sending unsolicited DMs to people who've boosted your posts in the past

- repeatedly sending follow requests to someone when your first follow request is denied

@RikerGoogling in so far as the arena is considered a stage for a performance, but the injuries and weapons are very real.

klingons are just evolved different.

@inthehands A teacher friend of mine elsewhere in the country is seeing reich-wing-aligned school board members pushing the idea that ICE should be allowed into schools, so it ain't just the assholes in uniform trying to make it happen.

My suspicion is, state media will try painting teachers as "woke commie liberals indoctrinating your children" or something like that when the shitheads face resistance.

Keep up the good fight.
