hi! i'm Echo, a trans lesbian weirdo based out of Berlin. i'm really interested in #larp, #anarchism, #openweb, #philosophy, #goth music, and #queerhistory. :blobcat_vampire: i am very passionate about social media, with all it's flaws. i work as a web engineer at #mastodon, and used to work […]

i had missed meta's muse product and man the hype press is so funny. the nyt's puff piece that is actually titled "I gave my life over to meta's A.I. agent and was blown away" cites three good things that it can do without problems: find duplicate subscriptions when given full access to a bank […]

Durchsuchung in Berlin-Kreuzberg: Polizei razzt queeres Zentrum https://taz.de/Durchsuchung-in-Berlin-Kreuzberg/!6222545

I continue to maintain that we really need multitenant systems in the fediverse. Wait, hear me out. _Everything_ is cheaper at scale. Having a bunch of people pay individually—in both server costs and time spent—in order to maintain small individualized instances is simply not sustainable and […]

happy international lesbian day to me, an international lesbian :blobcatlove: :heart_lesbian: #lesbian #lesbianVisibility

exhausting sometimes how the new way to say "i don't like/believe it" is to claim it's AI

thinking about upgrading my printer. does anyone have recommendations for good multi-tool or multi-color printers for under 1k? #3dprinting #fdm3dprinting #recommendations

jeez how did i got from desperate to find a flat to random people offering me spots? i'm in the very unusual position where i'm saying no to people because i already have a lease signed :blobcat_smile_sweat: a shame tho, i would have LOVED to live in Neukölln again. maybe one day though! #berlin

age verification for social media is so fucking dumb because every lgbtq+ community on the planet is externally labeled as 18+.

would it be wrong to switch from Pocket ID to VoidAuth because i like the mascot more? maybe, but fuck it :blobcat_black:

We recently updated our bot policy on toot.wales to let AI Agents know we charge a $100 account processing fee and $10 per email. Here's an email I got from one of them. Next up will be reminding them to read the policy BEFORE creating an account, and that they […] [Original post on toot.wales]

ended up leaving a bit early from #fediday for personal reasons, but it was lovely meeting people!

I’m tired of people writing sad pieces about their country’s far right movements with things like ‘my country stopped being X’ No, your country was always X This is about every country

anyone going to the #homeassistant meetup tonight in #berlin?

got tickets to FediDay next weekend here in Berlin! looking forward to swinging by to say hi. sadly my German is nowhere near good enough to follow a lot of the panels tho :blobcat_smile_sweat:

anyone know of a conference space in or around Berlin that can hold around 80 people in 25-40 rooms for not too much? my friend is organizing a larp conference next year and is looking for locations! #berlin #fedihelp #fedihelp_de

i ran the final session of my tabletop Changeling game to great success! it's set in Berlin 1993 so lots of research went into that period, along with older Berlin-centric legends. very fun, spent about a year writing it. now: time to reset, rewrite the game into a new system, and organize […]

been a while since I've had a weekend without talking to my new partner... this will be difficult but it's for larp reasons so understandable 🙏🏻 :blobcat_tear:

another day rebuilding the composer! it's very satisfying, ngl.

so unfortunately i didn't get what i wanted in a lawsuit against my landlord, so i have to find a new flat by end of the year. any Berliners know of someone moving away whose lease i can take over? no WGs or limited leases please, i need a home office setup and don't want to move again […]

got this very atmospheric view of the eclipse last night

on my way to Prague for my last game of the summer! 97 Poets will be fun, I played it last year. it's set in the same world as Disco Elysium 🪩

i feel like i never know what to say on this platform. i know what I'd say if I knew there was a shared hobby or something, but yelling into the void never really made much sense to me. can't wait for Groups to be a thing

I'm seeing a bunch of porn discourse on my dash, but not enough porn! can I get sex worker recs please? 🙏🏻

someone reported pics of my cat as fraud? I'm a single user instance so ofc it went to me anyway clearly I've committed terrible crimes. someone call the purr-ice 🚨 :ablobcatbongo:

my cats are meltinggggg :blobcatmelt:

hmmmm i wonder if these ads are being shown in the EU or if is just a 'murica thing? because i bet countries here would actually do something about the, y'know, flagrant lies and deceptive advertising […]

current mood:

sighhhh. just set up a new tool to replace Google Contacts only for me to realize it's mostly LLM generated. it's a shame, it was trying to replace Monica which stopped dev work last year :blobcat_tear: anyone have a recc? i just want to have contacts with a robust tagging/label system...
