Me: I’m a cool adult who’s in touch with the youth and won’t denigrate their slang.

The Youth: *use ‘pos’ to mean 'positive’*

Me: The lord is testing me.

Reminds me of this post I saw yesterday, didn’t know what pos meant until just now. Still don’t know what HJ is

Rizz is the one I’m struggling with. My students wanted to make a 'rizz meter’ with the analog meter we’re gonna be violating coming up

Okay I swear I’ll stop harping about this one day but they BANNED “”female presenting nipples””(lol) destroying the best art community in the process - and now i have to scroll through half a dozen ads for AI apps that promise Ai-generated porn using the stolen likenesses of actresses, while “live” is hardstuck to the top of the screen offering scantily clad ladies.

You literally made it a thousand times sleazier AND killed your entire userbase. Dipshits. Gah!

how to keep following people when a major social platform implodes

(…and you don’t want to join 20 new websites)

First, get an RSS reader*:

You’ll be able to make a custom feed to follow blogs, webcomics, social media feeds, podcasts, news, and other stuff on the web all in one place. To follow something, find its “feed URL”– often marked by an icon that looks like this ↓– and paste it into your reader of choice as a new feed.

Some feed URLs for social media:

  • Twitter: Feedbro can use Twitter profile URLs as feed URLs. Otherwise, use nitter.net/username/rss (or other Nitter instance) (You can get a CSV file of all the accounts you follow using “Download a user’s friends list” on Tweetbeaver)
  • Tumblr: Use username.tumblr.com/rss or username.tumblr.com/tagged/my%20art/rss to follow a blog’s “my art” tag (as an example)
  • Cohost: Use username.cohost.org/rss/public (WIP feature)
  • Mastodon: Use instance.url/@­username.rss
  • Deviantart: Info here
  • Spacehey: Info here
  • Youtube: Go to a channel in a web browser, view page source, and use Ctrl-F/Command-F to find a link that starts with “https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=”
  • Instagram: Feedbro can use Instagram profile and hashtag URLs as feed URLs. Otherwise, Instagram doesn’t have RSS feeds, and due to aggressive rate limiting on their part, it’s not so simple to generate a feed URL.
  • Facebook: Feedbro can use public Facebook group/page URLs as feed URLs.

(If you know an artist who exclusively posts to Instagram, you may want to gently suggest that they crosspost elsewhere…)

Also see how to find the RSS feed URL for almost any site. Try using public RSS-Bridge instances or Happyou Final Scraper to generate feeds for sites that don’t have them (Pillowfort, Patreon, etc).

*You can set up your subscriptions in one reader and import them into another by exporting an OPML file.

This!

RSS feeds were a great way to keep track of things before the rise of the platforms, and (if we’re smart) they’ll be great again.

I think it’s important to let guys be gender non conforming without telling them they’re a girl, cause actually misgendering people is still shit even when you are pro trans. “You’re a girl, an egg waiting to crack, and that’s ok” how about you are a boy and a man and it’s still ok if you want to do something that doesn’t align with traditional ideals of your gender. You can still be he/him in a skirt and makeup.

“If you wear pink/like floral scents/write with gel pens/whatever then you’re a girl” is not the progressive statement that some people think it is.
