#Moderate

But.

I don't know thing 1 about how to #admin and #moderate an instance properly.

So all of this is to ask all-a- y'all if you know of any admin or moderator training materials that emphasize racial justice and anti-racism?

It doesn't have to be Mastodon specific. Likely the concepts will transfer even if they were written for message boards or whatever.

while talking with my #grandpa about the #tariffs today, i think i settled on another realization. a lot of the ignorance and uneducation on the right comes from the idea of wisdom aquired with age. when i go to thanksgiving, i know that what i say is valued just as much as what my grandpa says, but i feel like on the right there’s a lot more of the “i’m older than you so i know better and you’re just wrong” mentality.

I'm back, maybe. I kinda left Mastodon behind for awhile to check out #bluesky. I got very few responses to posts here, so figured why not try the new kid? You know what? It seems to be shaping up to be like a left wing safe space. No place for moderates with independent thought. Is Mastodon any better? #moderate #compromise

Rep and Set Ranges for Hypertrophy 🏋️📊

When training for hypertrophy (muscle growth), rep and set ranges play a crucial role in stimulating muscle fibers effectively.

📈 Rep Range (6-12 Reps per Set)

💪 Sets per Muscle Group (10-20 Weekly Sets)

📈 Moderate to Heavy Load (65-85% of 1RM)

✋ Rest Periods (30-90 Seconds)

@cferdinandi @mastodonmigration obviously, not because it's a hint at the amount of #Neonaizs, #Racists and #Christofacists that are allowed there.

  • But I don't tell you what to believe, just that you ain't the first one trying to trow shit at me if this is what you're up to...

Not to mention #BrownSky (aka. #BlueSky) was founded by #JackDorsey as a means to try to skirt #NetzDG and not #moderate content. He left when it became clear that this is not how #laws work!

Jesus. Fucking #Leftists on #Bluesky. It's literally a parade of cis #white dudes who complain endlessly about #liberals.
No rhetoric or actions that actually will help protect our rights.

Just an army of shit talking about Liberals and #Democrats in this environment.

I'm going to be honest. Based on what I've seen over the last few months, I have a thousand times more faith in a #Liberal #Moderate protecting my rights than a #Leftist doing it.

The only organization I've seen be at all effective is the #DSA. Right now they're the only organization I have any interest in working with.

Hi Everybody!

If you, like me, like to keep up with both sides the news, you realize all the bias we have to filter through to get to the point. Kaizen D. Asiedu is my favorite account in X. Harvard grad, previously Democrat. I love how he breaks things down and speaks to both sides without so much as an ounce of condescending tone towards opposing views. He gets it. He's genuine. If you're on X, follow him.
(I've voted all over the ballot & an independent fyi) My talk about politics publicly is finito, back to news curation & writing for me. By the way, I didn't vote for Trump, he won though.
Thanks. When breaking news happens, he usually shares his thoughts.

My digestive system: All these rich holiday foods are wonderful!

Also my digestive system: Fine, if you insist on giving us sensible, balanced, or meals with portions, then, we’ll, um, ooh I know, make a lot of really loud and weird noises, yeah, that’s it! That’ll show ‘em who’s boss! (Hey do you think we can keep up this for 11 consecutive months?)

If it wasn't for #Trump... Well, if he wasn't around, I could write #satire #journalism about some other clown. The rest would just be... better. But I tried to continue my #moderate stance. And look where it got me... Still writing about the orange apocalypse.

Appealing to "The Middle" No Longer Works in U.S. Elections

The #2024election showed us that trying to win over the elusive "middle" isn’t the way to victory anymore. When #Harris pivoted to target #moderate #voters, focusing on broad #MiddleClass issues, it left her base feeling unmotivated.

The "middle class" is too diverse for a one-size-fits-all approach, and only 45% of people identify in that bucket; economic needs vary by #race and region, so generic centrist rhetoric doesn’t resonate. Meanwhile, a shrinking pool of true #SwingVoters means the key to victory is energizing the base.

While #Trump rallied his base around clear priorities, Harris’s appeal to centrists didn’t hit the mark and likely led to lower enthusiasm and turnout among her supporters. In an era where most voters are deeply committed to their beliefs, an overly broad approach can make a campaign seem out of touch and uninspiring.

2/5

Got in an argument with a self-identified “libertarian” who believes that if Trump loses we’ll have a “moderate” Republican on the ballot in 4 years, and that this is his *ideal* scenario because of [see screenshots]

Apparently Trump is the sole problem with the US. Once he’s gone EVERYTHING WILL BE HUNKY DORY 😄🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

I’m taking fucking crazy pills, I guess.

@KimPerales

So much of this could have been avoided had not both the #Bush administrations not changed #FHA #HUD policy to ensure that #investor dividend goals played a key role. The period of federal funding for that period is now over and most of those properties that were required by funding laws are now in the private-only market with no guardrails for moderate and low income ppl. And then, #moderate multi-family housing was put on the shelf during the #Trump administration.
