일간 베를린: A100 교량 링반교(Ringbahnbrücke)의 철거가 5일만에 끝났고, 나름 시간 기록을 세웠다고 베를린 시장이 자축하는 중. 한편 구글 지도에 저 다리를 집어넣었더니 대표 사진으로 철거 현장 사진이 뜨는데, "대충 오송역 발파 해체작업 진행중 짤"이 떠오르는 건 어쩔 수 없다. 문제는 저 사진은 진짜라는 것...

Mods wanted!!

Kolektiva.social has now been around for nearly five years. During that time, we have received lots of valuable feedback. It has and continues to help us better understand problems with our moderation, and what needs to change. A clear takeaway from the issues we've come up against is that we need more help with content moderation.

Over the past several months, It's become more evident than ever that our movements require autonomous social media networks. To be blunt, if we want Kolektiva (and the Fediverse more broadly) to continue to grow in the face of cyberlibertarian co-optation, we need more people to help out. Developing the Fediverse as an alternative, autonomous social network involves more than just using its free, open source, decentralized infrastructure as a simple substitute to surveillance capitalist platforms. It also takes shared responsibility and thoughtful, human centered moderation. As anarchists, we view content moderation through the lens of mutual aid: it is a form of collective care that enhances the quality of collective information flows and means of communication. Mutual aid is premised on working together to expand solidarity and build movements. It is about sharing time, attention, and responsibility. Stepping up to support with moderation means helping to maintain community standards, and to keep our space grounded in the values we share.

Corporate social media platforms do not operate on the principle of mutual aid. They operate on the basis of profit — mining their users for data, that they can process and sell to advertisers. Neither do the moderators of these social media platforms operate on the principle of mutual aid. They do these difficult and often brutal jobs because they are paid a wage out of the revenue brought in from advertisers. Kolektiva's moderation team consists of volunteers. If we want to do social media differently, it requires a shift in the service user/service provider mentality. It requires more people to step up, so that the burden of moderation is shared more equitably, and so that the moderation team is enriched by more perspectives.

If you join the Kolektiva moderation team, you’ll be part of a collective that spans several continents and brings different experiences and politics into conversation. Additionally, you'll build skills in navigating conflict and disagreement — skills that are valuable to our movements outside the Fediverse.

Of course, we know that not everyone can volunteer their time. We want to mention that there are plenty of ways to contribute: flag posts, report bugs and share direct feedback. We are grateful for everyone who has taken the time to do this and has discussed and engaged with us directly.

Since launching in 2020, Kolektiva has grown beyond what we ever expected. While our goal has never been to become massive, we value our place as a landing spot into the Fediverse for many — and a home base for some.

In addition to expanding our content moderation team, we have other plans in the works. These include starting a blog and developing educational materials to support people who want to create their own instances.

If you value Kolektiva, please consider joining the Kolektiva content moderation team!

"Learn the difference between 'helping' and being 'helpy'"

~ @wendynather at #BSidesSEA

(If all you are doing is pointing at things and saying "look I found all these problems" you're not helping, you're being helpy... Being "helpy" allows you to claim that you're part of the process and a valuable part of the team and it makes you visible in meetings but doesn't actually improve anything.)

What #Linux distributions will no longer exist in next 10 years?

When you find someone that matches your level of weirdness

Whenever I explain to other (Russian) people what the fediverse is, they sometimes ask how resistant it is to being blocked by Roskomnadzor. The answer I usually go with is "very" because, in essence, every server acts as a proxy to the entire network. Bluesky in its current form has so many singular points of failure in comparison, it could as well be fully centralized.

I've still NEVER used a phone that felt as good as the n900 did

Public service announcement:

If you're on estrogen and you take a multivitamin or if you take biotin to make your hair and nails healthier, it's ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL that you stop all of that stuff for at least 3, and preferably 4, days before you get your blood levels checked.

Biotin is the chemical they use in the estrogen level test, and if you've got a higher-than-normal amount of biotin in your bloodstream, your labs will come back saying you've got much more estrogen in there than is there in reality.

If you want accurate results, take a break from the multivitamins!

A thought for trans allies in this time:

You often ask us what you can do to help. Well, here's something you can do. Wear trans badges, buttons, pins, scarves, whatever you've got. Explicitly. I wanna see that blue and pink EVERYWHERE.

Because the more of you cis folk do that, the safer we will be in crowds and such. It will mean that wearing a badge of support for trans people doesn't necessarily out that person as trans.

"But wait," you're thinking maybe, "if I do that, people might think *I* am trans!"

Well, why is that a problem for you? Would you be offended by someone thinking you might be trans? Would you be scared? Welcome to our world.

This is your time, cis people. You were all ready to call yourselves allies when it didn't matter more than changing your PFP background. Now the rubber meets the road. We need you. We need your help to normalise our existence to other cis people. It could save lives.

If someone accuses you of being trans (imagine being *accused* of existing while trans?), don't deny it. Ask why it matters to them. Keep calm.

I really, really don't like Putin. Not just in a geopolitical way, but in a I have been in the power of horribly cruel people kind of way, and the dude gives me flashbacks. So civil, sitting in his nice imperial office, not offering, but stating that there will be an Easter Truce, because he has declared it.

Nothing demonstrates who the aggressor is like sitting in an office in Moscow and declaring a unilateral ceasefire. If Russia stops fighting the war goes away, period.

I have a few repositories on GitHub that I mostly use for maintaining and versioning the code that runs my personal websites. I'm thinking about migrating them to Codeberg, in keeping with my support for non-profit, community-based platforms. If you've done such a migration and have things you think I should know about, I'm all ears.

@benBen Werdmuller must say, I have to disagree on:

> Easy to spin up: where launching and running your own Mastodon community is as simple as starting a blog.

From: https://werd.io/2025/if-i-ran-mastodon

Running an online community isn't just running the software, but moderating, managing and growing that community — that's the critically hard part. Anyone can go to masto.host or similar and get a mastodon server, but the community ops work is the stuff that's the _really_ hard thing to solve.
