My people are on the streets again in Indonesia. Everywhere the state decides certain people's survival is not a priority, the same infrastructure gap opens. The only thing that fills it is people deciding to fill it for each other. The full list is at the link. Some requests are urgent, some are overdue, and all of them need movement. Show up however possible, financially or by amplifying so someone who can give financially finds the request. Both matter.

<p>If I was to nominate the two things I find most striking about Mastodon they'd be:</p><p>1. the ability to edit posts after posting; this (as my followers will know) is a facility that I use a lot (and thanks to my great crew of typo spotters);</p><p>2. the norm of civility that we all maintain; of course trolling & slamming is not completely absent, but at least in my timeline & discussions/conversations civility have been the over-riding characteristic of my exchanges.</p><p><a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/civility/" rel="tag">#civility</a> <a href="/tags/socialmedia/" rel="tag">#SocialMedia</a></p>
