"albin.social doesn't respect their users" - yep!
"albin.social is just trying to capitalize on the popularity of the fediverse!" - yep!
"albin.social should be shunned, lest it gain any dangerous legitimacy" - yep!
"albin.social is stealing other people's work by trying to use it to make money!" - now hooooold up there
This isn't how it works. This is a very important aspect of FOSS - gaining something from a project at no additional cost to the original creators is not "stealing".

Oh! I learned today that some students seem to use a collecive Google Doc to take notes during class, where everyone sees if someone's confused and can get an answer right in the moment. Like, a whole lecture hall just taking a group note and at the end of the semester, a huge wiki basically to help you study. Such a brilliant idea.

laws don’t determine our existence - *we* determine our existence - it’s our weapon, our shelter, our energy, our healer, our truth - we will keep moving forward - we will keep fighting - existence is *our* only law ✊🌈💕 https://nyti.ms/2R9W1jB

#VOTE.

Pick the lesser of two evils.

Don't want to? Well then, don't complain when toddlers are locked in dog cages, Neo Nazis fill the halls of congress, science is ignored, religious zealots gain influence, and murderous dictators are lavished with praise.

I am a straight, old, white, male and the shit that is going on scares me. If I was female, gay, or brown, I would be absolutely terrified at what is happening.

VOTE. It doesn't cost anything. It takes little time. The stakes are high.

The introduction about #anarchism by @Ravotr in #ACU, #Utrecht was interesting and a great success. A lot of new (especially young) people showed up. A sign that anarchism in the Netherlands is far from death.

Now time for a great #vegan dinner here in the ACU. The place is full of nice people.
