We're almost sold out of enamel pins, so I'm thinking about what we could do next. @Ameboid and I brainstormed some slogans that we think might fit on a pin. Just testing the waters here.

[gargron@mastodon.social]

Some runner-ups...

[os112@mastodon.social]

@Gargron None of this.

[exxo@nrw.social]

@Gargron I don't care about pins, but I think it would be much better if the mods would moderate insults that are against the law instead of ignoring them.

Sorry for the derailing, but I love the effort you and others put in Mastodon. Its hard on the other hand to experience how mastodon.social became home to insulting people without consequences. I used to love that instance too

@Gargron oooo oooo here:

“The future is federated”

[kristinhenry@vis.social]

@scott @Gargron I second this!

[groupnebula563@mastodon.social]

@kristinHenry @scott @Gargron i think @_elena has that taken already

[groupnebula563@mastodon.social]

@Exxo @Gargron are you reporting these posts and forwarding them to the original instance (where applicable?) moderators don't monitor every post to find bad stuff, they have lives outside of moderation too /nm

[groupnebula563@mastodon.social]

@os112 @Gargron eh, I like them. the fediverse is cheesy (in a good way), and so are the pins. it's fitting.

[exxo@nrw.social]

@GroupNebula563
Of course I did report those. And my account was on mastodon.social back then, so no need for forwarding.
@Gargron

[groupnebula563@mastodon.social]

@Exxo @Gargron what exactly were the insults? were they targeted at other fedi users or like, faceless corporations/billionaires/people who are generally assholes

[exxo@nrw.social]

@GroupNebula563 I was targeted with "[you] fuckwad" and other stuff. At least I've learned some new words ^^ @Gargron

[groupnebula563@mastodon.social]

@Exxo @Gargron just out of curiosity, what was it in response to?

[os112@mastodon.social]

@GroupNebula563 @photovince @Gargron Well, my (short) advice was not about "cheesy" or "not cheesy".

The wider background of my reasoning is described here:

The Seven Deadly UX Sins of the Fediverse Web Experience (To Fix)

So, confession time: I was recently helping a new client get set up on the Fediverse—guiding them through their first steps into our glorious decentralized …

@os112 @photovince @Gargron i don't understand how "fedi needs better UX" factors into "let's make some fun pins"

[os112@mastodon.social]

@GroupNebula563 @photovince @Gargron Reading helps. Believe me.
