I'l let myself remind everyone in the voice of Mr Crabs: I have a ko-fi https://ko-fi.com/mmspl
Very happy to welcome our second front-end developer to the core team - hey there 
@diondiondionDion 🥳
We've got plenty of improvements in the pipeline, and we're glad to have Dion onboard to help to make Mastodon better for everyone!
@OhOkKay do you know whether this is an open issue on GitHub?
@hippietywhoop 
@MastodonEngineering no current plans to expand on the existing feature in that area - generally speaking there’s no end-to-end encryption in the protocol; something like Signal may be a good option for you, depending on your needs.

uspol, trans safety, more on getting out
If you have a group of people, maybe your polycule, and hey, all likeliness it's a pile of people with executive dysfunction.
Organize a meeting, maybe over video calls. Start mapping things out in a shared document (maybe on a CryptPad), look at everyone's options.
You might have to split the party, at least eventually.
Start now. Please don't wait. Know your options.
Help those who need help.
Thank you.

A final comment.
A frequent question I hear amongst my friend group is: do they really have the power?
Look at what they have been doing to Venezuelans.
Look at how the Trump administration has still not complied with an order from the SUPREME COURT
Remember that Trump has directly said he wants to "deport" US citizens
Yes, they have the power. And in the places they don't, they are assembling it.
Please don't ignore this. Please be safe. Thanks. 💜
uspol, trans safety, more on getting out
Am I exaggerating? Are things really that bad?
Folks I would LOVE to be wrong but I really don't think I am. All of this stuff has been left out in plain sight, there on the table for all to see. See the post linked at the top of the article for more.
It's going to take time to assemble an exit. Many trans people have groups of people they don't want to leave.
It will be easier to start making plans as a group *now*, than when it's too late.

uspol, the plan for trans genocide
Furthermore, the Trump administration has been pushing on harder use of the death penalty, including for sexual predators.
Even though being trans does NOT make you an actual sexual predator, the rules are then in place to permit not only incarcerating trans people in the wrong prisons, but *executing* trans people.
Like with the "final solution", executions will ramp up more later in rollout than earlier

uspol, the plan for trans genocide
With these in place:
- Trans people will be forcibly detransitioned, accesing medical care even for adults could be considered drug crimes
- Trans people using their post-transition identity information in work or legal contexts can be charged as felons for identity fraud
- Trans people entering restrooms not corresponding to their assigned-at-birth-gender can be arrested as *sexual predators*
- Trans people will be assigned to the *wrong prisons*

The next steps aren't a *direct* roundup, it's an *indirect* roundup:
- Federal ban on trans care for children, with severe prosecution for anyone who doesn't comply
- Federal ban on trans health care for *adults*, building on the previous case
- Begin defining having changed gender identity as "identity fraud" and a felony, including *government and workplace interactions*
THIS LAST ONE IS ALREADY A BILL IN TEXAS (HB 3817) https://capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=89R&Bill=HB3817

The trail of crumbs is out there for all to see, they've left everything on the table:
- DONE: Provoke fear that trans people are sexual predators, trying to take things away from cis women, preying on children (these fears are now well established)
- DONE: Establish medical disinformation disguised as real reports saying that trans people aren't real, their care should be removed (especially for children but also adults)
So now what's next?

uspol, the plan for trans genocide
It's essential to have a group of people which are such a small minority that most people don't know them well, who are vulnerable, and to make them look scary and like the enemy.
It has been Jewish people before (and will again, Nazis can't wait after trans people are being exterminated to go after Jews again), but it is trans people being prioritized today.
So how will it be done?

If you are wondering though, "is genocide really possible, or likely"
The answer is yes, it's possible, it's likely, they're actively working on it. In the next couple of posts, I will explain why, and then how, we are seeing a trans genocide being planned.
The first is why. It's very simple: fascism requires a culture war to prevent a class war. Since the poor are directly hurt by oligarchic takeover, they have to attack a group of underprivileged people

I am not telling you to leave, I am telling you that you absolutely cannot look away from the situation, for your safety, for the safety of the people you love.
Things are escalating fast. Things will get much worse very quickly. In all likeliness, there won't be paths out, soon.

If you are in a threatened category and ESPECIALLY if you are trans and you are thinking about leaving, it's at least important that you start planning your exit. I highly recommend the community collection of resources on https://transworldexpress.org/
Let me say it plainly: we are facing a trans genocide on the present path. Start helping yourself, your loved ones, get a passport, look at options out. Don't wait.

- The maximum number of media attachments can be changed in the configuration file (limits.posts.attachment_limit and limits.posts.attachment_local_limit parameters, both default to 16). Extra attachments are not ignored anymore, but included as links.
- Several security fixes for FEP-ae97 Client API. A documentation page has been added.
Fedi, check this new #FediDB stats page.
I'm nearly finished the redesign, and will be launching fedidb.com once the final pieces are ready.
Boosts greatly appreciated, the new FediDB is a gem in this complex network 💎

To people saying “it’s a temporary ruling,” those people are missing the point. This stay allows the military to IMMEDIATELY begin to let go of soldiers. Those soldiers will need jobs, pay, shelter. And it clearly indicates where SCOTUS is on trans people.
In an absolutely devastating ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect. This is shocking - the ban explicitly called transgender people dishonorable for being transgender. It is as clear as day soaked in animus. www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...

I think I've fully adopted to writing scripts in #typescript with #deno. 😅 It can be so immensely convenient.
You can bundle hack something fairly quickly. With dependencies pinned. And most of all, still have some level of security.
Can't say the same of all my other language scripts. 🫠
