Oh boy... are 6 armed protogens in our future? 🤔

I have seen this happen in real life. The vehicle was exactly what you would expect it would be

Just blocking the community doesn't prevent the users in that community from harassing minorities and generally spreading disinformation and hate. It's offloading extra moderation work to every instance who federates with them. Unless that instance is also okay with fascists interacting in bad faith, of course.

Impeaching Biden over nothing while at the same time censuring Schiff for impeaching Trump. Wow

Thank you for taking user input and taking action based on it! It gives me confidence this instance is in good pawbs!

Meta is an enemy. It's not about their misuse of user data, that's already public. They have a track record of promoting the growth of facism, misinformation, conspiracies, etc. with their algorithm, targeted advertisements, and moderation policies. It's not worth the server load allowing them to federate with us for even one second. I don't see what could possibly be gained by letting some generally right wing normies interact with a furry instance. I wouldn't touch whatever they're doing with a 20 foot pole.

Whatever form Meta's fediverse project takes, it should be opposed at every opportunity because it is in our best interests for their project to fail.

One resource that helped me get started is Shifter, a youtube channel that focuses on bike commuting advice and gear recommendations. A link to some Park Tool basic repair help playlists might be good as well.
