Back when I was running a #GNUSocial instance, I made sure to keep registrations disabled so nobody could join.

Running a #Pleroma instance today, I realized that nobody wants to join small instances anyway. #Fediverse
I've been looking at those new 13" MBPs. I guess I'm kind of a fool because I could have just gone to one of these riots and looted one for free.

@crunklord420 Hmm. Proof perhaps of the deletion of that riot footage I heard about a couple days ago.

@Viking Curfew actually helps keep protesters off the streets, many of whom are violent and/or looting.

The most peaceful protests happen during the day.

Updates on U.S. protests:
— Protesters in Boston clash with officers, throwing rocks and lighting a police vehicle on fire.
— Protesters start fires near the White House.
— Unrest spreads in Chicago neighborhoods, suburbs. apne.ws/6eAVYk1  twitter.com/AP/status/12673054

Everyone keeps talking about June 1 being this thing called "Pride Month". I have no idea what that means, but just to correct everyone: tomorrow is actually the start of my birthday month.
Hands up this is a robbery, I'm going to steal your grans 🔫
A sizable percentage of the country will stomach expanded governmental powers and surveillance initiatives after these riots…because you morons wanted to behave like animals for a week.

Just like how a large portion of the country accepted the Patriot Act, etc., after the events of 9/11, the government now has good justification for the introduction of legislation that will hand them more power and control…and many people will support it (or, at least, not oppose it).

So, I guess, congratulations: you all are going to get more or less the opposite of what you all ostensibly "demonstrated" against.

Chicago: Went out to get some terrible fast food. Trucks everywhere on roadblocks. Didn't get any food because the entire place was being looted. White Castle was open; had city snow trucks guarding the entrance and letting cars in. I still have an out of state license, so I had to convince the cop I lived on my street. She took pity on me and let me pass. I'm glad they're blocking traffic though. It means the protesters need to be on foot. They're still out. This group just went down my street.

@realcaseyrollins @crunklord420 They're pro-anarchy terrorists. Of course they're going to be on a decentralized platform.
