Amen. If someone says fundamental rights aren’t literally for everyone, then they must somehow think they aren’t really fundamental rights.
No one left behind. No one left out. No one excluded.
Every person is inherently, infinitely and uniquely valuable. Period.
It’s harder to abuse hashtags here, because if you spam hashtags people care about they will just block you without a second thought… but that makes the right hashtags super valuable because you can quickly engage with your specific community.
“algorithmic platforms that spray content like a shower of feces over everyone”
I’ll keep that phrase handy to pull out in context, it would be a shame to leave such an astute assessment unused.
I manage socials for a performing ensemble and I get similar responses from our pre-concert posts here as I do on FB and Insta. The metrics *look* lower, but almost as many people actually engage. And yes, speaking of interests and passions comes easier in arts perhaps: we share, we inform, we give clips to experience and that can have value in the community beyond driving sales or tickets.
I suspect that the example of .art and other interest/topic based instances could be a good in between place: If a mid to large sized arts funder/coordinator were to spin up an instance so that theatres and artists can have a presence without having to run their own instances, that might help bridge the gap.
In the comments I read chatter about the different houses you’ve engaged with: what if there was an opera.de instance (orchester.de or just KlassischeMusik.de)
A large enough category with a large enough geography to create internal activity and share the burden of host and moderating but small and local enough to keep a unique character.
Yay mstdn.ca - 3 out of every 4 images have alt text. Yay us!
Hey mstdn.ca - 1 out of every 4 images excludes people with low vision or poor connections. Boo! Let’s do better…
Translation: Covid vaccines alone do a better job of preventing infection than previous Covid infection plus vaccine.
This is contrary to what people expected (arguing that infection plus vaccine would be stronger)
Interpretation: Covid can wreck your immune system, so that you don’t form immunity well to subsequent immune challenges like vaccination (and other infections)
