The freefree.ps Mastodon instance will cease operating on May 28th, 2026 or shortly after.

Personally I will continue using the Fediverse. I love it here. I just don't have it in me to be a moderator and the costs are getting difficult to justify.

My solidarity with Palestinians will never end, and the next project is already on the horizon.

I am currently rethinking freefree.ps and its future as a Mastodon server.

Operating this server has become expensive, and moderation puts me into a (small) position of authority that I do not want.

I am starting to think that I could better support Palestinians as a regular user on a larger server.

If I decide to shut down this server, there will be at least two months notice to allow users to transfer their accounts.

Hi, I honestly don't think it's very appropriate for me to discuss this publicly.

I have used a progressive discipline based approach with a focus on support and lots of discussion, however I cannot simply turn a blind eye and tolerate daily unsolicited messages.

During desperate times the Zeyada family supports their community. Please continue supporting the Zeyada family as part of our community. :lovepalestine: 🍞 🌹 🌹

The situation in Gaza is still very dire, people are winter camping, and Ramadan is coming soon!

Good evening everyone 🌔
How are you? How’s your health?

It was a beautiful day for me. My brothers and I decided to put our money in a pot and use it to buy a lot of rice (the prices have gone down) and to feed hundreds of people. It was truly a magical moment of beauty to see so many bright smiles on so many faces.

You know I’m a IT engineering student. I use my brother’s laptop, but I really need my own.
Can you help me to buy it?

Hello, this post was reported for use of generative AI.

This server did not have a rules against generative AI, so I'm simply going to close the report without taking any action.

However AI has been complained about before, and I have been considering adding a rule against it since then.

Today I have updated this servers rules to include no use of generative AI. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out. Thank you.

P.S. I love the concept here, just AI is a problem.

To me this is just conflating anti-semitism with criticism of Israel. Nothing about Netanyahu being Jewish is mentioned, and what is discussed is an attack made on another country, by Israel who is already committing a genocide in Gaza and operates apartheid in occupied Palestine.

Last week I installed a Bluesky Personal Data Server on a VPS and made an account.

Having a PDS on Bluesky gave me a different domain for my handle than the default, but you can do that anyways without a PDS.

Unlike having a Mastodon server, a PDS on Bluesky has no rules, no moderation, no trends, no space for community to happen. It felt like I was hosting a black box on my own server for no reason.

So I deleted my account and also the PDS.

There are so many great posts that I want to boost but don't because of images with no alt text.

It takes a little extra time but can make a world of difference to someone else.

Alt text is an accessibility issue. Imagine if some posts on your feed were just nothing, an absence, and from replies you know that others can see something that maybe you figure out from context.

Including alt text helps include everyone.

Bisan Owda, unable to reach her own family's farm, participates in and covers the olive harvest during a genocide, and the importance of the olive in Palestine.

"I know that a lot of people are killed. I know that we are risking our lives right now to reach this land because it is in the east of Khan Younis. But what I know better than all of this is, I feel that I am in my land." -- Bisan Owda

This is pretty close to home for me:

https://www.chch.com/chch-news/hamilton-leaders-speak-out-over-weekend-mass-deportations-protest-downtown/

Hamilton's only ~125 km from #LdnOnt.

On top of the hateful message and aggressive posturing it drives me up the wall to see nazis co-opting black bloc tactics and style.

I'm looking for others in London who want to organize against fascists. Not on Meta et al. though, we need to build our own online infrastructure and I can help with that.

Here is my tatreez progress, I finally finished a piece. This is basically the Bateekh / Watermelon / بطيخ motif but I only used two colours because I'm a beginner.

I am participating in Tatreez and Chai workshops, part of the Threads of Diaspora project organized by CPSA London. Their project is going to be beautiful.

Imagining Liberation was organized by Islamic Relief Canada.

https://www.islamicreliefcanada.org/

Islamic Relief is on the ground in Gaza and Lebanon distributing meals, basic needs supplies, and helping people evacuate right now.

The work that Islamic Relief does is critical for the lives of millions of people in the Middle East.

Donating to Islamic Relief is one of the best ways to help, if you are able. 39.5 million meals.

I just returned from the Imagining Liberation event in #LdnOnt.

All the the stories were difficult to hear, a common theme was resilience.

Hazem Balousha, a journalist from Gaza, spoke about how people there feel abandoned, like nobody cares. Money is important, but also knowing that we do care, hearing words of support, & seeing crowds at protests really helps Palestinians in dark places. This resonated with me.

Tip: the longer the text in a QR code, the more complex and detailed it will be. This means for example that shorter URLs will have simpler QR codes that can be scanned from greater distances, which is important for activists using QR codes on posters and banners.

There will be a wing for the CNN, the BBC, and the Times journalists who were the enablers of the genocide. The Palestinian people will remember them." -- Ghassan Abu Sitta, reconstructive surgeon, interviewed in the Al Jazeera documentary "Exposed".

Glia is setting up medical clinic tents near hospitals in Gaza where Palestinians in need of routine care or assessment for more minor conditions can come.

I think the world would be a better place if we all read Ursula K. Le Guin when we were little. Or at least I know I would have benefited from being exposed to her much earlier.

A Wizard of Earthsea, The Dispossessed, The Left Hand of Darkness, Rocannon's World (in which she coined the word "#ansible"). Any book by Le Guin is worth reading. She is my favourite author of all time.
