Again, I have to re-iterate this: https://calckey.social registrations are closed today.
Nor am I giving away invitation codes.
I know there’s lots of demand, but we’ve been crushed by an on rush of registration requests over the past few days — and we need to ensure a better experience for current https://calckey.social users.
In the meantime, here’s a list of other #Calckey servers:

@inherentlee The only one of these that would be indicated by screen readers in almost all cases is the asterisks option. Underscores would depend on screen reader verbosity settings, and capital letters are also somewhat dependent on verbosity settings. Would not use the latter to try to indicate text emphasis, possibly asterisks. Hope this helps, I couldn't get the pole to let me vote.

In Central European countries, there’s a centuries-old practice, which is called Blaudruck (blue-dyeing) in Austria and Germany. It involves printing a paste called Papp onto cloth before dyeing over it with indigo, and was so significant to German culture that it’s influenced idioms (apparently the phrase “blue Monday” can be traced back to it). The craft almost disappeared in the 1980s. Here’s how a new generation revived it.

I’m surprised to learn 22% of survey participants have only used WordPress for a year or less.

We’re, like, a week away from finding out that Clarence Thomas and Harlan Crow have a shared checking account.

I wish I could just mute this entire day, if you know what I mean. After 10+ years of hearing the same damn joke over and over, its worse than an overplayed song on the radio.

@queenslight We're not actually at the game, but we do have it on every speaker in the house. Which is one in every room and 3 in the living room.

Lots of crypto spam coming from numbered mastodon.social spambot accounts right now.
They’re tagging people directly in their posts.
I’m not quite how to best handle these as the admin beyond blocking the accounts, which seems ineffective.
Individual people can add filters for the following keywords, through: moonxtrade dot com, PINTER-23 without the dash. (Or B-T-C without the dashes, really, why would you want buttcoin in your feed?)

So, this guy solicited nude videos from an undercover police officer he believed to be a minor in 2018. It took nearly five years to convict him and (apologies but I’m going to use all caps here) HE REMAINED AN ACTIVE DUTY NYPD OFFICER UP TO HIS CONVICTION THIS WEEK. In the press release, the NYPD goes on and on about how he betrayed his oath but they don’t seem bothered with letting him keep his badge for years after he did.

“I was born in 1994”
– boring
– heard it before
– tells you nothing“I was born in the year of Cotton Eye Joe”
– arouses curiosity
– who was Cotton Eye Joe
– where did he come from?
– where did he go?
– Cotton Eye Joe -

Social networking is about to bifurcate into two basic camps: people who post about doing shit, and people who mostly shit-post.

I would recommend anyone on mastodon.social to look for another smaller instance to which to migrate. It’s way too big for its britches.
