Save and Load Club

Time for a little #introduction!

We're the Save and Load Club, a book club community centered around Visual Novels.

We pick something from a list of member suggestions, vote on what to read and then, while reading, discuss the VN together!

This account will be used to announce new sessions or other significant news. You can also always ask questions about the site.

A more detailed rundown on what this is and how it works can be found on our forums with the link below.

Save and Load Club · Welcome to Save and Load Club!Welcome to the Save and Load Club, a book club community centered around Visual Novels! What’s a Visual Novel book club? This format follows the generic idea of book clubs, being a group of people that decide to read something together, and later discuss it. In our case this is just for Visual Novels instead of actual books! Who is this for? People interested in Visual Novels that want to read something together with others and discuss it afterwards in a nice environment! Potentially even gett...

#MayDay #cdmx #news #roundup in #english

This has already made the rounds in spanish social media so i thought i would mention it in english, cuz the struggle is internacional and all that good stuff.

First there was the usual. I went to a #march for the #rights of #sex #workers. A lively group stroll numbering a few hundred heads plus a radical marching band, taking a non-typical route, zig-zagging through the #working #class #barrio of the Merced.

We in the @catl split from the march before it got the the main square, the Zocalo, and went to set up for the activity planned for the day, a commemoration of Mayday's #anarchist history. I shot ahead on bike and along the way i crossed paths with a #blackbloc, smashing and looting a starbucks and circleK, and giving away the looted items to the houseless folks in the zone.

Our participation was a little more chill. Like most of our events, we took public space to #share #food, #zines, #music, #poetry and #words of #struggle, in what we called a #public #street #forum.

After the event, around 4:30, most of us were on our way to a space called the clandestine for a discussion on #work and later, #party (one of the pillars of struggle, and an important one). But before we got there we were notified that one of the musicians that performed at our event, #activist, #rapper and #friend Anonimo Uno, had been arrested in the #metro (another activist, his partner, was also arrested but quickly released).

He had been caught putting up a sticker. For this he was attacked, pinned, and put in pain compliance positions by a plethora of uniformed state thugs, before being dragged off. His partner was arrested for bravely recording the attack, getting out the video that was key, not only as viral propaganda, but as legal evidence.

And what did they charge him with? Groping a police officer, while hand-cuffed and pinned down. This may be an emerging new tactic of the #mexican #state of weaponizing new sex assault laws against activists.

After we got over the inicial confusion plus a hour or so of not knowing where he had been taken, or as we say "in a disappeared state" a plan was made to mass up in front of the Fiscalía (DA?), a building unaffectionately known as "el bunker". It wasnt the first time we held space in front of that building, and it definitively wont be the last.

Fortunately the bunker is next to a relatively main transit artery, which we are sure to #block and form some minor #barricades every time we visit.

As the news got around, more and more folks showed up, numbering over a hundred.We made some noise, painted messages of #liberation on the walls, kept blocking the roads and after a few hours of #disruption, Anonimo was freed and in the company of his very relived mother and friends.

Both freed hommies told us of their ordeal over a megaphone, and the crowd hissed and cursed the police every time their violence was exposed. We shouted at full volume, "death to the state, long live #anarchy", and "a conscious police shots themselves in the head" (it rhymes in spanish).

Afterwards, the vast majority of the rabble walked together to the nearest metro. This was for security, but also the time honored tradition of "metro popular". For the uninitiated, this is basically taking over the turnstile area en mass, opening the side doors, and letting everyone (radical and passerby alike) to enter for #free. Of course this is accompanied by a lot of yelling: declarations of #freedom, uncomfortable truths, brutal take downs of the state.

For my part, i hung around the metro for a bit, saying my see you laters, soaking in the alboroto echoing off the metro walls, then biked home in a light drizzle.

Hejså!

Jeg ser oftere og oftere dette kald om at forlade Meta den 1. maj – hvor spændende! I den forbindelse vil jeg gerne minde jer om (eller anbefale) at tjekke det forum, vi har lavet, hvor man kan blive onboardet til Fediverset – altså det mere etiske alternativ, der tilbydes.

Der kan du stille alle dine spørgsmål, tjekke kategorier og finde arkiveret info om mange emner (privatbeskeder, sociale netværk, forskellen mellem Pixelfed og Mastodon m.m.).

Tag et kig – eller del det med dine venner, din familie og dine kollegaer.

Glædelig 1ste maj, lad os sende Meta på tidlig pension!

Sunlight streams through the ancient Roman columns, with the sun creating a radiant starburst effect. These are the remains of the Temple of Saturn, an ancient Roman temple to the god Saturn, found in what is now the Roman Forum in Rome, Italy.

Hey fedi, is there any good, reliable, open source forum software that is created in Europe, is not developed by bigots of any sorts? Bonus follow-up question: what would be some hassle free, Europe based, not very expensive hosting options for that kind of stuff? Note: definitely not Hetzner.

#discord IS LITERALLY THE PROBLEM!

I'm shure fecking #dread has better moderation and I'd rather use #MicrosoftTeams + #Slack cuz those at least have proper #moderation tools.

  • And I'd rather subscribe to the #LKML and see my inbox getting hosed than using any shitty #SaaS!

Case in point: I'd rather #SelfHost all my comms infrastructure than to ever use something like Discord or any other #GDPR-violating SaaS that is just enshittification.

I'd rather recommend people to instead choose a tool that does everything but horrible to go with multiple smaller & good tools

Check @alternativeto and @european_alternatives for options.

@Em0nM4stodon As a user from well back in the day, pre-1990...this space reminds me a great deal of the original EFNet/NSFNet/ARPANet I used to inhabit when I was in college, prior to The September That Never Ended (if anyone picks up on that reference).

The users came from a mostly academic or research-forward corporate background; the powers that be in the corporate world mostly had no conception of what the Internet was, and once they discovered it, still didn't have a real idea how it worked, as it was antithetical to the ethos of capitalism. Thus, the user base exhibited traits associated with enthusiastic engineers and academics: braininess, neophilia, curiosity, imagination. Being geeky and different was celebrated and encouraged. The same mentality you might find at an SF convention, art gallery, museum, or junior/local theater project. Communities were intentional, and there was a sense of reciprocal rights and recognition...a celebration of our global diversity.

Of course, flamewars there were...but overall, there was a nurturing of positive growth within the space.

Ancient history, of course. I am wondering if there is a self-regulation that's involved. When I describe the Fediverse to others, even friends whom I consider intelligent, there seems to be a lack of exact comprehension about what it is I'm talking about. (And among my age cohort, there's also a fatigue with social media in general, which I think is partly a function of age, and partly an accrual of bad experiences on Facebook and other corporatized media.)

When I started my phpBB forum as a general online space, I found the "culture" of such forums to be *radically* different. I described it as the "what's your favorite donut" mentality - everything was facile and superficial, like the scene in the kitchen at an awkward party. It just never took off and I don't have any idea why. (Several people close to me have encouraged me not to delete the forums; if you wish to go there, see my profile and pinned post for the address and registration code.)

Malgré que je sois newbie , je suis passée de modératrice à admin sur le #forum #discourse d'une asso , il y a une maj critique a faire dessus, j'ai donc contacté le geek qui l a installé et le gérait pour apprendre à faire et me suis fait envoyer bouler. Des pistes pour une reprise en main totale d'un forum maj comprises + vers qui pourrais je me tourner pour détecter les backdoor que cette personne a créé. le repouet aide à se libérer des relous

Sondaggetto!

Partecipereste a un forum "vecchia scuola" ma integrato con l'ActivityPub e quindi il discorso fediverso?

Tematicamente e filosoficamente parlando in linea con l'istanza di Livello Segreto (e ovviamente aperto a tutt*)

boostate a piacere, commentate pure anche evidenziando tutte le criticità del caso o dubbi su cosa siano / fossero i Forum :ls003_folpo:
