Think historically about when people have been told about a thing that's damaging the environment. There are always a few individuals who change their whole lives for it and have a statistically negligible impact. The ozone layer isn't restored because people stopped using hairspray, it's because hairspray companies stopped using CFCs. Your protest report is 1. preaching to the choir and 2. wasting a volunteer instance admin's time. Don't be this self-righteous.

Dear jawns.club user who just reported one of the Horrorhub users.
I don't disagree with you. That said, this isn't something worth reporting. It's not against the rules, and unfortunately, you're fighting a losing battle. Focus your efforts on making it more fair and efficient instead of rallying against it, because I'm telling you: I work for a company. Just one random company of many. Every IT department is being asked to provide generative AI to company employees. You've already lost.

I should also say, Horrorhub isn’t going anywhere. Our server bill is on a yearly contract, so I can’t break it until November. Unfortunately that just means it adds to the bills I can’t get rid of.

I feel horrible having to post this. I’m so bad at asking for help. But I’m going through a divorce, after years of receiving verbal abuse that just kept increasing in severity and regularity until I hit my limit (years later than I should have) and I’m currently trying to make sure I can keep my home. If you’re able to contribute, every little bit helps. Thank you so much. https://www.gofundme.com/manage/home-at-risk-divorce-and-repairs #divorce #fundraising

Well, that was an exciting bit of unexpected downtime. We should be catching up to live, you'll start seeing updated posts rolling in as we catch up to the network. We have successfully upgraded to the latest mastodon point release after a lot of scrambling on my part. Sorry for the downtime, and as always thank you so much for your patience. #horrorhub

The next 4 years will be challenging for all of us, and more challenging for some of us. Be sure to check in on your loved ones. We won't make it without supporting each other.

I know I don't post often. I'm happy to just keep paying the server bills and keep the software maintained. I don't often feel the need to post in the public square. No one cares what I have to say anyway.

That said, I feel that it's necessary today more than ever to reiterate that horrorhub.club is a safe space. Well, a safe space for everyone except the MAGA crowd. We will happily defed instances and block accounts that espouse anti-lgbtqia+ or misogynist views.

"Practicing their religion."
Zionism is not a religion. Establishing one's historic relationship to their faith helps explain their relationship to the political affiliation of Zionism. "with the fervor of a convert"
People who convert later in life often take the more extreme positions of that faith.
Zionism is a political movement not representative of Judaism. Not all Zionists are Jewish, not all Jewish people are Zionists.

I'm just going to put these two posts next to each other so it's easier to highlight the intentional misrepresentation.
"disclaimer that he has no problem with 'jewish blood'"
Uh...what? Stating the clarification that they were non-practicing and Jewish-by-blood previously is not a disclaimer, nor is it creepy? Is it creepy to say "Blood brother?" It is a standard way of speaking of one's relationship, and especially with Judaism which considers you Jewish if your mother was Jewish.

I'm not going to pretend for a second that I know everything, and it's absolutely possible that I'm victim to misinformation. It is equally possible that you're victim to misinformation.
There is, however, enough confirmed damnable evidence against Netanyahu's administration to suggest that this is a campaign that won't end until the Palestinian people are extinct.
In the same sense that American military atrocities don't speak to my moral values, neither should Israel's for you.

Cute response, babka.social.
Fun fact: I spent my grade school years at a Hebrew Academy, so let's talk about how inaccurate I am, shall we?
Is it misinformation that the Israeli government knew about the planned October 7th attack?
Is it misinformation that they forced the permit for the festival through despite concerns of action?
Is it misinformation that Israel has killed foreigners in the region for humanitarian aid and said "oops" every time?

Support Israeli people.
Support Palestinian people.
FUCK the leadership of both.

Lamenting the loss of a friendship because that friend has come out in support of a genocidal regime is not antisemitism.
Palestinians are semites.
The inability for the current Israeli administration to distinguish between Hamas and Palestinians in their war to destroy a monster of their own creation is called WAR CRIMES.
This is not speaking in favor of Hamas (I will literally never be on the side of religious fundamentalism). It is speaking in favor of a displaced people whose median age

Dear babka.social user who felt the need to report one of our users. Conflating Zionism and Judaism is part of the problem. Zionism is loyalty/support of the Israeli nation. Judaism is the religion that has been around for thousands of years before Zionism. Being critical of people who support the current Israeli nation is not antisemitism. If you can look at the very open and plainly spoken extermination campaign against the Palestinian people and still support Zionism, that's a moral line.

Dear #horror #authors, I'm repeating my request for some short horror stories that you would like narrated for my podcast, @creepypodsta. I recently updated my podcast for the first time in a long time, and it's gone really well. I would really love to share more stories with people and lend my narration to those stories! Send me your short stories! (You'll also be allowed to use my produced audio for whatever you like)

Dear #horror writers:
I'm working on getting my @creepypodsta podcast back up, and I'm in need of some short horror stories that you wouldn't mind me narrating.
I don't make any money on the podcast (though, I'm experimenting with some options to see what happens, any money I make from an episode would be split between you and me if it ever gets to that point)
I just posted a new episode closing out a series I started years ago https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/paQnKtcMYJb

So there it is. After 8 years of doing the workload of what was once five programmers, none of it mattered. The research and work I've done to stay ahead of the impending ad revenue dip due to Chrome sunsetting third party cookies doesn't matter.
If you read this far, thanks. I don't get too tech heavy here, but this has been my work life. I truly love programming, and I love learning new things and coming up with creative solutions
