Good morning fediverse and friends. Hope everyone has a wonderful day today.
What are your plans today? Today I am at the office and not to much after work.

All language is metaphor, and the metaphors we choose shape how people think about problems and solutions. The “digital drugs” metaphor works because it makes the addictive design clear, but it can also push people into a moral panic frame (“users are addicts”), which risks oversimplifying.
A few metaphors you might find less #blocking of the #hashtag story:
* Food & Nutrition
#Dotcons = junk food (engineered to keep you consuming, empty calories).
#Bsky = diet soda (feels lighter, but still unhealthy).
#Fediverse = a community kitchen (messy, you have to cook and wash up, but nourishing and shared).
* Urban Space
#Dotcons = shopping malls (bright, controlled, profit-driven).
#Bsky = curated boutique arcade (less harsh, but still enclosed).
#Fediverse = the street commons (chaotic, noisy, sometimes rough, but free and collectively shaped).
* Agriculture/Gardening
#Dotcons = monoculture agribusiness (neat rows, efficient, but sterile and toxic).
#Bsky = organic supermarket (nicer branding, but still transactional).
#Fediverse/#OMN = messy permaculture garden (takes effort, community labour, but self-sustaining and alive).
These metaphors keep the critique, from individual pathology to collective space.

@digitalrechte Ich fürchte, die Regierung zählt das #Fediverse zu einer Plattform von Linken, NGOs, also eben #Antifa.🙈 Und die bekommen keine Unterstützung, weil das ja Terroristen sind.

#Fediverse friends, especially denizens of #Lemmy -- is there a Lemmy instance dedicated to #TTRPG discussion? When I went looking at join-lemmy.org it just gave me five video game instances (and no way to see more) when I selected #gaming as my interest.

Why is an accomplice to genocide 🇺🇸 setting terms for “peace”? Would we let Nazi Germany set terms?

One of the best things about the #fediverse is that bunch of billionaires cannot simply buy it. And this will stay that way.

Die Politik hat jetzt die Chance, im nächsten Haushalt 20 Millionen Euro für die Förderung des Fediverse bereitzustellen!
Wir vom Zentrum für #Digitalrechte und Demokratie präsentieren der Bundesregierung, wie sie das #Fediverse fördern könnte, damit wir morgen die Wahlfreiheit haben und #BigTech in die Schranken weisen können.
Damit ab kommendem Jahr dieses Geld investiert werden kann.
Wir müssen jetzt die Chance nutzen!
Teilt unseren Plan! #foefed_digitalrechte

Piefed's onboarding is being reworked to add a direct message to new joiners to help them settle in, including a message to a "newcomers" community.Would people here like to help with that community?

# Moved
After self hosting for a while I have decided to move back here. I enjoyed self hosting but the interest of setting up a single instance [Mitra](https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra/) server the maintenance became routine.
I have also realised the time and expense in running even a single user instance, which used nearly 15GB of media and database storage. I have decided to make a [small monthly donation](https://ko-fi.com/mastodonappuk) to support the site.
Incidentally *Mitra* supports moving accounts in a strange way; the existing account is active still. I may use this for some experimentation for a while, but all posts will be here.
