How could have been avoided:

  1. During the 2013-2018 boom when tech workers as a class had maximum leverage, used some of the energy organizing broad tech unions and guilds instead of negotiating for fuck-you money and pulling up the ladder by telling other trades to “learn 2 code noobs”

  2. craft broadly populist multi-union legislation to raise taxes for “infra and natsec basic income fund”, for a living stipend to infra workers: railroad, steelworkers, electricians, OSS maintainers

⚠️ Mastodon admins!

There's a setting called "content cache retention period" that you should leave blank. If you put any numbers in there, it can start permanently breaking threads on your server.

This feature is NOT intended for general use on normal servers.

Thread all about it here:

➡️ https://social.growyourown.services/@homegrown/111376516797327772

There's a pull request on Github for moving this to a "danger zone":

➡️ https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/27733

Added a page to fedi.tips:

@FediTips @yianiris I think they meant one meta level up, i.e. disable the existence of this input box which are not meant for general servers
