#FediTip for instance admins: On #Mastodon you can #FediBlock the base domain to block its subdomains as well.

For instance, blocking dumpsterfire.social will work for the subdomains pl.dumpsterfire.social, ak.dumpsterfire.social and any other subdomain they might spin up in the future.

This works even if dumpsterfire.social itself is not a federated instance and doesn't show up as a choice in search. Simply click the "Add new domain block" button in the upper right of the federation menu, enter dumpsterfire.social and do your thing.

Alternately you can search first and then click on the add new block button to both verify the domain and auto-populate the domain name field.

Particularly for dumpster fires that only have instances on subdomains, this gives you peace of mind and saves you the labor of tracking down new subdomains. I have seen instances use wildcard asterisks * for blocks, which do NOT work at least on mainline Mastodon/Hometown and should be replaced by base domain blocks.

why call it bird site when ‘the fowl place’ is right there and a much better pun

I would like to pubicly apologize for party rocking. It was immature of me to party rock in a public space, with all those people around. Somebody could have been hurt. I could have been hurt. It was a mistake I made in the house that night, and it is a time I will never forget. It was the worst of times. Sorry, for party rocking.

Seeing reports that Huawei is censoring posts about the #A4Revolution in #China, automatically deleting photos from phones w/o informing users. (https://twitter.com/MsMelChen/status/1597807914395500545)

This is why privacy advocates criticized #Apple for trying to launch a feature last year to scan all photos on user devices—before they’re uploaded to iCloud.

Even if the feature is developed for good purposes (like stopping CSAM), the risks to #privacy are dangerous.

My boss just fired me. In front of a coworker. And couldn’t give me a solid reason. Cool cool cool.

Anyone looking for a tech guy? Really good at Shopify and eBay especially but is also the type that works without breaks when I really love my work?

I don’t know what to tag, but if y’all know anything, please share/boost?

IT'S JUST LIKE EMAIL

This was a choice, not by the person walking but by the decision makers who despise them.

Some fancy #conbadges I did several years back, in #MixedMedia (#pen, #ColoredPencils and #marker). The bird ones were part of my "Egg badge" series, named for the shape. :)

I often am asked by people fleeing anti-trans states, "where should I move to?"

I created the anti-trans legislative risk map to help answer that question.

I am releasing my first post-election legislative risk map today. Subscribe to support my work.

People keep saying mostly tech people are moving to Mastodon, as if that isn’t the same with anything new. Tech people will always be the first to adopt new technology. Our job is to prove the utility and lower the barrier to entry. Maybe Mastodon is currently too confusing for the average user. But so was Twitter, and smartphones, and the internet.
