How are they just getting away with this again and again?!

Alright.

Things seemed ti have calmed down.

Thanks to everyone who sent kind words to counteract the bullshit in my mentions.

Thanks to those who provided helpful links for me to check out!

Special thanks to @kelluri for sending me a blocklist to immediately stem the bleeding.

The #Fediverse is truly an amazing place!

We just need to wipe this bigoted scum from the fucking face of it!

All I can say to them is:

Run up, get done up!

Your only power is behind a fucking keyboard!

Y’all can’t do shit to me to destroy my #BlackJoy!

So, just got called the n-word three times in the last five minutes!

Le sigh…

I also run a small business running managed IT services for content creators.

I also host a gaming and tech podcast called Tech Talk Thursdays on (you guessed it!) Thursday nights at 8:00pm on Twitch!

Other things I've done:

Not only do I host my own sites (and my Mastodon instance), I run my own secure mail server along with hosting my own Twitch and Discord bots.

I ran infrastructure for a Black content creation community before it collapsed during the pandemic for Reasons(TM).

Outside of Mastodon, I was running a PeerTube instance until storage costs got real high for me.

I even ran a OSP (Open Streaming Platform) instance to demonstrate that people had options for moving elsewhere during the Twitch hate raids.

I'm so comfortable with my skills that I can probably deploy things on bare medal from my iPad without a second thought.

Granted, now I realize that isn't saying much because, ya know, Ansible and what not!
