Updated my #toplesstopics social media header for the new year, all the way from "uncensored male nipples" to "censored enough for Patreon" (read about that shizzle here: toplesstopics.org/patreonban/ )
Sure does feel good to know that the fight for #ToplessEquality / #TopfreeEquality / #genderequality #anticensorship / #freethenipple is only getting MORE oppressive towards #femalepresenting (or simply "judged to be female by algorithms" people 🙃
EDIT: forgot to add alt text but it doesn't seem to work in edit mode x.x So here's the alt text instead:
Four different versions of the Topless Topics social media banner, all of which say "Because it's 2023 yet social media platforms remain terrified of female chests" with previous years scratched out under the "2023," and a photo to the left, featuring a topless long-haired woman holding a paper notepad over her nipples that says "Sensitive media" "pornographic" "mature media" with a symbol for female written next to it, and a topless long-haired man with a hairy chest holding a sign UNDER his nipples (exposing them) with arrows pointing to his nipples and the words "somehow totally fine?!" along with the symbol for Male. Behind the couple peeks out a fully clothed infant with a curious expression :p
The four versions have an increasing level of censorship over them, with the "least censored" having a physical paper sign covering the woman's nipples while the man's nipples are visible; then a version with a red box and black text that says "censored for the patriarchy" placed over both sets of nipples; then a large, stretched oval Topless Topics logo covering both figures from chin to the bottom of the frame; then a version with the logo covering each person entirely, except for a very small uncensored part allowing their eyes to peek through (including just the baby's eyes)

Kroger projects $4.9 billion in profits in 2022.
Now it's purchasing Albertons, the second largest grocery store chain, for $25 billion.
Albertsons previously acquired Safeway for $9.2 billion.
Why are grocery prices up? Grocery store goliaths are buying the competition.
S. Jester reshared this.
Kroger is like half the size of Amazon, and Amazon is half the size of Walmart. Maybe Kroger is just trying to stay competitive by scaling up so we don't get left with just two places to buy groceries.
Graphic source: howtocook.recipes/wp-content/u…
You know, while the local Albertsons has higher prices, they don’t have the constant problems with keeping stock the way the local Ralph’s (Kroger) does.
Hopefully this does mean Albertsons starts having problems keeping the shelves stocked.
Last I checked, Kroger already owns 20 grocery store brands.
Last time I shopped there, variety was way down, and prices way up. Even on rubber bands. (Why rubber bands?)

The #OutcastCreatorCollective new #Discord server is NOW ACCEPTING NEW USERS!
Our discord server is a place for #contentcreator / #influencer / #livestream / #artist / #writer / and many other types of #creators (and their fans/supporters!) to share tips and resources, commiserate and complain (in our #rant room 🙂), find others to #collaborate with, and to #selfpromote your content (as long as that's not the ONLY involvement you have with our community!)
The #outcast part of our name is because our community is focused especially on supporting so-called #outcastcreators, those who don't abide by societal rules set by #ThePatriarchy / #Capitalism / #Sponsorships / #AdFriendly / #monetization and are therefore #ostracized -- #banned , #blocked, #shadowbanned , or otherwise #censored / face #censorship to a degree that most creators never face!
Folks like #sexworker / #erotic / #adultentertainer , #intersectionalfeminism (not the ad-friendly "girl power" kind), #normalizenudity ,
#progressive / #leftist ,#sexualeducation , #kink and #fetish education, #LGBTQ + / #queer , #disability , #houseless , #racialequality , #mentalhealth and many other types of #activism , and so on.
(Worry not--any nudity or erotic/adult content is limited to our 18+ rooms, which require age verification to access. You won't accidentally stumble onto anything that's likely to get you embarrassed on the bus!)
Please note you don't HAVE to be an "outcast creator" to join us, you just have to be respectful towards those who are, and expect to cross paths with them in our community.
Also please note that we are NOT a place that is welcoming to white nationalists, conspiracy theorists, TERFs, "debate bros" or otherwise toxic people who usually use the excuse of "free speech" to be hateful towards others.

Our community is, above all else, dedicated to being a #wholesome (if ad-unfriendly) space that is here to support creators and their followers, NOT provide yet another platform for hate.
We're a new server, but staffed with volunteers who have experience with a variety of content creation, and we're very open to feedback to however we can improve our community!
I hope to see you there!

Did you know Monopoly was invented by a woman named Elizabeth Magie in 1903?
Originally ‘The Landlord’s Game,’ it was designed as a protest against the big monopolists like Carnegie & Rockefeller.
But it was Charles Darrow, an unemployed salesman, who eventually sold it to Parker Brothers after playing a version.
Parker Brothers credited Monopoly with saving their company. Magie died in 1948 without recognition. Darrow became very wealthy & his legend lives on. #history #women #HistoryRemix

And Elizabeth Magie was a proponent of Georgism, which the game was meant to illustrate.
In the spirit of The Landlords Game, "Class War" demonstrates some mechanisms of capitalism and what workers can do about it. Really fun to play, too.
incredible that a game used in my middle class family as a way to bond has this poignant history.
I wish we had known this as kids. It would have enriched the experience and been such a teaching moment.
'Throughline': There's more to the board game Monopoly than you might think
Monopoly is one of the best-selling board games in history — sales went up during the COVID-19 pandemic. The game is built on powerful American lore: anyone can rise from rags to riches.NPR
There's all this herstory behind household products, science, medicine, even piracy that men have tried to erase.
We also know FLOTUS Edith Wilson ran the presidency after Pres Wilson's stroke, FLOTUS Eleanor Roosevelt's ideology greatly influenced FDR, and Lady Bird Johnson far exceeded LBJ in all things presidential. But no FLOTUS ran the country like Hillary Clinton.
Imagine all women have been responsible for that men have taken credit for throughout herstory. The cheats.

Okay~ *deep breath* Big news! It's taken about twenty hours over the past week, but I think we've pretty much finished setting up our new #OutcastCreatorCollective #discord server, where #contentcreator and their supporters can commiserate, collaborate, share resources, or otherwise form a #community of supportive friends who are interested in lifting each other up so we can keep up the fight. The server is especially intended for those who are fighting against #thepatriarchy, standing up for #racialjustice, #feminism, #lgbtqia rights, #disability activism, #mentalhealth , #normalizenudity, #sexworkers , #houseless advocacy, and so much more.
Please note that we are NOT welcoming to those who often complain the most about "having their free speech suppressed"--you don't have to be a #progressive #activist to join, but you're unlikely to enjoy yourself if you aren't at least left-of-center.
You don't have to be an "outcast creator" or their supporter to join, but be aware that our focus is to be a safe place for those who are, so respectful behavior is mandatory! If you're not yet a content creator but you would like to get advice and encouragement from others who are, you may be interested in joining as well. :)
While we're still testing out anti-trolling safety measures (that's what took up so much time this week 😅 ) we're keeping the link direct-invite-only, so if you'd like to join, please DM me and I'll give you the link. Also please let anyone you know who might be interested in joining about our new server!
Sorry for all the exclamation points, I'm just really excited 😁

Thank you. This is good. I appreciate your team's work with pulling this data together with this specific analysis. It would be interesting to see how demographics impact who migrates where. Wondering if those who found a voice on Twitter (activists, those experiencing injustice, etc.) are also migrating, why or why not, and where?
I wonder how long it'll take before it dawns on people that a MAGA activist, David Sacks, the guy who employs e.g. Matt Taibbi, has full access to their personal data including their DMs.

yeah the #hive hashtag has lots of references to good articles on their #security problems.
Though as soon as I saw a (long lost) post warning about the dangers of a social media platform with a proprietary **APP-ONLY** model, it was it was obvious to me that #hive was not a platform for me! They were either going to be evil, a security disaster or both, which seems to have planned out. 🙁

You definitely have the most comprehensive policies of any of the Mastodon sites I've checked so far.
I picked @indieweb.social because it matches my sensibilities even better than @fosstodon.org does or @mastodon.technology ever did and has performed wonderfully (I definitely need to make a donation, but can't find the post that suggested a better way than Patreon).
If I migrate elsewhere, it will likely be to a personal instance.
BTW, I would like nothing better than if #IndieWebSocial acted as a half-way house or a "gateway drug" that lead dozens of folks to start their own instances.

This from @stokel gels with what we saw but adds very useful quantification: a small subset of users talking about leaving Twitter (1.6 percent) have "wholly abandoned the platform," but many are creating lifeboats on other platforms in case they need them - but not leaving entirely. Taking the first steps out the door but not out fully (not yet, anyway.)
newscientist.com/article/23496…
Most people who threatened to quit Twitter for Mastodon haven't left
Of more than 140,000 Twitter users who announced they were moving to Mastodon, just 1.6 per cent have actually quit Elon Musk’s social media platformChris Stokel-Walker (New Scientist)
I uninstalled from my phone and the only thing I post over there is instructions and suggestions to come to mastodon. I do not read, comment, or like other folks posts.
But I still probably get counted as a daily active user.
Tim Chambers reshared this.
I explicitly chose *not* to delete my account because I wanted to direct folks here. I.e. I updated my profile with my masto account, pinned a tweet saying I'd moved, and then locked my profile.
So I wouldn't be counted in this article despite no longer using Twitter.
I'd love to measure relative use on the platforms but that's a lot more difficult. Maybe take a good sized representative sample of accounts and dig into their activity?
Tim Chambers reshared this.
Planning full exit eventually but locked & with invite to join me here
(1) people who have not deleted, but aren't posting;
(2) people who are cross-posting M->T
(3) people that only post on Twitter to help people leave.
Really good point Justin.
We pretty much bunched them into "emerging = new to most Twitter users" versus "Legacy" - once many Twitter users would already know.
Could have made that clearer than I did in the article.
I mean technically Mastodon launched in 2016, so it's defintely "legacy" and not "emerging," by that count -- but I suspect relatively few Twitter users knew it 10 weeks ago.
