Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.

This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable — and used.

If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kinda… nice?" — that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".

So #KeepFediWeird.

Fedibirdにはキーワード購読という機能があるんですが、これを使って、フォローしている相手の投稿のうち、関心のある内容だけをピックアップして読むという使い方ができます。

まず、通常はフォローするとホームに投稿が流れてきますが、これを外し、リストに流します。

ホームからフォローした相手の投稿を外せる機能は非常に強力です。

全部外してしまって、たまにアカウントの投稿をチェックするのでも良いと思います。

この状態で、ホームまたはリストに、興味のある単語が使われている投稿だけを、キーワード購読で流します。

ニュース系のアカウントは全部受け取ってしまうと投稿数が多くなって不便なこともあるかと思いますが、フィルターで除外するのは難しいと思います。そういう時はキーワード購読の方が便利かもしれません。

キーワードは時々見直しましょう。除外も同時に指定できるので、不要なものを外すのも重要です。

If we’re being honest here, this was the WORST my holiday sales have ever been. First of all I got Covid at the beginning of the month and it stayed, and so I could NOT make and post all the new #pottery items I usually make in December. Then muskrat destroyed my main source of sharing the work I had made. It’s been hard. And building a new community’s here is hard. Please be gentle with us new #creators here. Some of us are broken and trying our best to rebuild. #ArtMatters #artist #community

Well, that stings. #TerryHall, such an icon. Wrote and performed tracks that even those who don't care about music, know and even enjoy. Helped put not just Coventry but 2-tone on the map. His lyrics always hit home, and very on point.

I enjoyed his music, be it his solo stuff, The Specials (The Coventry Automatics), Fun Boy Three, Colourfield, Dub Pistols, Vegas, etc... I will continue to enjoy his music. It is part of me, embedded in my DNA. Thanks, Terry Hall. RIP

With greater adoption of Masto comes more likelihood of running across jackasses in your feed.

Do yourself the favor of adopting the Ambercadabra Zero Strikes rule (patent pending).

Life is too short to tolerate random strangers being jerks. Mute, block, unfollow liberally and often and protect your peace on the big wild internet so you can make room for people who don't make being keyboard warriors their whole personality. Trust me that it's better this way.

In honor (?) of Japan’s tradition of hitting up Kentucky Fried Chicken for Christmas, KFC in Spain is selling an “Otaku Burger”. It consists of two chicken patties and a teriyaki “otaku sauce”. The ad contains the words “celebration” and “good flavor” in Japanese.

On Twitter, users marveled at the hodgepodge. One said: “Otaku? Did they mean ‘kotatsu’?”
