I've been self-hosting my email for... 15-20 years now? Maybe I should offer that as a "pay-what-you-like/can" service...
@EveHasWords Durham County Library banned library’s LGBTQ+ Pride display. Then this happened.
The Durham County Board of Commissioners has ordered the immediate reversal of a decision that forced library staff to dismantle Pride Month displays this week.
[edit] Oh, here's the probably-original story in the N&O.
@socketwench Right up there with "Hey, doll, is this guy boring you? Come and talk to me -- I'm from a different planet."

"First they blocked kids from accessing the big evil sites, but we didn't care because they were big and evil and kids shouldn't be getting addicted to them anyway."
...and, not to defend Big Tech Social, but some network effects mean some people really depend on them (which is itself a problem, yes).
I mean, there's definitely some discussion to be had here, but... let's be sure we all agree there's a problem, yeah?
@ml I think I heard of one! The other day! I think!...
...but yeah, we know most of them want a vastly unequal world full of miserable humans willing to be wage-cannon-fodder.
We have "Tomorrow", "You Are My Singer", "Bip-Bop", and "Bip-Bop (Link)" on our car music stick ^.^
