  1. With posts going around about the Mastodon HOA, I disagree with some of the points made by some.

    Should you join the Mastodon HOA and annoyingly "correct" everyone who doesn't do things the way you want them to do them?

    Hell, no!

    Will people do things in ways other than how you want them to?

    Yes.

    Is this a moral failing on their part?

    No.

    Does this, by itself, constitute an attack on you, or an injury to you?

    No.

    But what are you supposed to do about it?

    Nothing. That's the hardest part for members of the HOA to accept. You don't need to do anything when you see someone do things their own way. Ignore it. Move on with your life. See also: bean soup syndrome.

    To clarify and defend against some attacks the HOA has directed against me in the past:

    I think alt-text on images is a good thing.
    I think people should use alt-text on images they post.
    I put good, descriptive alt-text on pretty much every image I post, not just "Photo of <X>".
    Do I yell at people who post images without alt-text? No.
    Do I boost posts containing images without alt-text? Yes, if they're worth boosting.
    Do I yell at people for boosting posts without alt-text? No, of course not. See above.

    If you're in the HOA, you're part of the problem. Just stop.

  9. Not that anyone cares, but I’m done engaging with or even reading any more Biden is out stories. Anonymously sourced pure speculation by media who’ve been shitting on Biden & his administration for months, they are click bait, fake news, or worse a Russian op (again!).
    Just STOP!🛑 Who’s with me?

  10. "James O'Brien compares JSO jail sentences to the consequences of Boris Johnson's premiership"

  11. "The jailing of Just Stop oil protesters should put us on 'high alert' says lawyer."

  12. Is it 'Sod's Law' Week? Front door lock, up the Swanee, bathroom mirror light pull switch, up the Swanee, TV (Sky only) seems to .. (yes you guessed) have gone up the Swanee,. Getting worried about tomorrow now. #Sod'sLaw #Murphy'sLaw #JustStop

  13. At Thanksgiving dinner, someone said "They deserve it."

    nytimes.com/2023/11/25/world/m

    After Oct 7, some people said "They deserved it."

    After 9/11, many people said we "deserved it."

    No innocent person deserves to die.

  14. One of the fresh hells of mastodon reply guy that I've not encountered anywhere else is their need to make a comment on a post to simply define a term I've used.

    Yes, I know what that word means, Jimothy. I used it.

    It reminds me of having a conversation with an adult when a child's present and the child piping up with some tangentially related trivia because they want to be part of the conversation too - except they're a child, so it's understandable they do that.

    "..and the article mentioned that the doomsday glacier is melting faster than even science predicted, because the warmer water is actually getting in under the ice shelf, so.."

    "I HAD ICECREAM AT MY BIRTHDAY AND IT HAD MARSHMALLOWS ON IT TOO"

    "..yeah, so anyway.. climate change.."

  15. A war crime is still a war crime, no matter who perpetrates it. #JustStop #WarCrime

    Decency and kindness would avoid so many problems in the world. #BeKind

  16. "Global energy demand rose 1% last year and record renewables growth did nothing to shift the dominance of fossil fuels, which still accounted for 82% of supply, the industry's Statistical Review of World Energy report said."

    Reuters, quoting the 2023 report

    energyinst.org/statistical-rev

    Perhaps this will be a dose of reality for those posting about the non-existent "energy transition", how super well it's going and how the problem's almost fixed.

    MORE RENEWABLES DOES NOT MEAN LESS FOSSIL FUEL USE!

    We must actively drive down FF use with high carbon taxes, moritoria on new infrastructure, AND the accelerated phase-out of existing FF burning stuff, like fossil cars, fossil boilers, fossil electricity plants, fossil metal refining...

  19. It’s 2023, and it’s STILL NECESSARY to issue the following reminder:

    Using “Reply All” in emails or any IM communication is *rarely* appropriate. Ever. In the history of ever.
