The 25th Scrolls newsletter is out! Would have gotten it out last Friday but some holiday stuff got in the way. In any case, it’s here now! Check it out for the usual , and / stuff.

Also worth mentioning... I usually publish these announcements from my @shellsharks@malici.ous.computer account but that GtS instance needs to be migrated at the moment so instead I'm posting from here 😁.

    After a couple of years on the , I’m quite certain of my position when I say that big tech actually killed Social Media!

    It’s , of course. But in this case it’s gone for long enough for the new generation to not even know what it stood for.

    A whole generation has grown up, thinking that the is the point, not the . So deep are we in right now!

      Love this clip from @molly0xfff's Fediverse House talk:

      "Imagine for a moment a web where communities can create their own spaces while still simultaneously and seamlessly interoperating with others. Think of it like a network of independent neighborhoods, each with its own character and rules, but with shared community spaces, art galleries and libraries.

      "In this web, you control what you create and decide how it's shared.The algorithms that shape that experience, they're transparent and customizable. You can peek under the hood or tweak them to your liking or replace them entirely if they're not serving your needs. If you're sharing a space with a group of others and you disagree with how they run that space, you can leave, but you can take your work and your community with you.

      "This isn't just a dream. This is already happening. Take Mastodon and the broader Fediverse, where millions of people are building communities that talk to each other across servers and platforms."

            Some people I was able to find in the , a significant number of people I lost track of, found new interesting accounts to follow and a segnificant number of new accounts I follow are surprisingly high quality. I might even say that posts are better, more balanced and more in-depth than what I was used to on . The on a lot of platforms tend to push clickbait and don't do quality posts justice.

              I go on and get angry and depressed by the things in my feed (left and right, it isn’t about bias). I come on the and even when I disagree with posts, they rarely are disagreeable in a way that gets the emotions going. It makes me wonder why I even ever go over there… (Well, () mostly, I guess.)

                Our #Fediverse friends have pulled off another miracle for us, and given us another month here in our happy place. Thank you so very, very much everyone. Mil de gracias, mi amigos. ❤️🙏❤️ [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                UPDATE: If you've have the means and have been on the fence about donating to us, I hope you'll consider doing so now; the bulk of our funds for this (and nearly all of our prior fundraisers) have come from one (insanely generous) individual, and it breaks my heart to keep relying on them constantly. They have been so unbelievably kind. Please help us spread out the burden a little more.

                Otherwise, please boost the hell out of this so we can reach goal and quit cluttering up the timeline! 🙏

                ==============================
                Good Morning, Friends!

                I mean.. I suppose as good a morning as it can be given the international circumstances.

                Unfortunately I must add clutter to your already-crowded timelines with more digital panhandling because we're running out of time before goes late. I'm trying desperately to avoid incurring late fees and undue attention from the leasing office. Moreso the latter than the former, if I'm being honest because we loathe "rocking the boat" and attracting scrutiny.

                We have received a couple of donations in response to my previous post which we sincererly appreciate and can definitely use to compensate for my hours at work having dipped now that we're past the holiday season, but sadly we won't see the funds for several days so I can't count them towards our running total (unless we don't make deadline. Going late would also burn most if not all the funds from those donations in rental late fees which would really suck).

                Please forgive me yet again for the constant posts. I know it's getting very, very, very old. I want to say "I shouldn't have let things get this far", but the reality is, it's complicated; I tried to do everything I could. I don't really have the mental and emotional stamina to work multiple jobs -- everyone says, "You'll just get used to it", but I literally start to have emotional breakdowns and mental glitches when I try to work that much, and my becomes almost unmanageable -- and my partner was struggling so badly with his trauma.

                I don't want to be a burden to the community anymore, and I promise you we're working as hard as we can to achieve that. But we're not quite there yet. We adore this apartment and don't want to do anything to jeopardize it.

                As an additional incentive for donating, I'm including a pic I took this morning from our balcony. If you donate or boost, you can look at it and vicariously enjoy the view that my partner and I have enjoyed for the past month and a half only because of the generosity of the fine folks of the . But only if you donate or boost.. otherwise sorry but you can't look. (kidding)

                You all made this happen, and I'm sorry we haven't yet become self-sufficient. It feels like home here thanks to you. We're really, really trying even if it may not seem like it.

                Thank you.

                If you're willing AND able, please boost and if possible donate. If you can't donate, *do NOT feel guilty* for being in the same boat as us. Your feelings about it are valid but rest assured you needn't feel bad.

Behind that you can see snow-capped mountains with the sun is peeking eerily over the horizon mostly obscured by clouds, producing a glow that makes it look like the mountain is on fire.
