I think the lack of correlation between public opinion and government policy is more than satisfactory to demonstrate how much our federal legislators care about your phone calls, yes.

Also an excellent way to end conversation about a controversial topic when needed.

LOL

Sure they do.

Deleted mine two years ago.

Kinda surprised it took everyone this long, TBH.

I can only assume BlueSky feels more familiar.

Mastodon requires a bit of effort, lacking an algorithm to drive content toward users, so you have to do a bit more yourself.

There aren’t any ads on Mastodon. :)

You just search hashtags or set up a column so you have a feed giving you everything under a given hashtag, though it may be those communities are so niche there isn’t much on the Mastodon instance you chose. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a specific instance for Buddhism itself, though, given that it’s such a massive world religion.

You’re comparing apples to oranges.

But that’s okay.

It’s objectively a healthier option. All for it.

Having a parent in charge of programming instead of an algorithm makes a world of difference.

That’s probably fair. There’s an abundance of smug assholery in the world right now. Apologies.

Good.

This is the digital equivalent of making sure the cigarettes and liquor are locked up, because there’s a wealth of evidence that social media is harmful to young people.

If you didn’t want to have to actually parent your own children instead of parking them in front of a screen that’s driving them toward self-hatred and fascism, you shouldn’t have procreated in the first place.

Must be nice to be so rich that you can just be this fucking weird in public.

The whole ‘rescue plane’ bullshit was a nice little cherry on top of this propagandistic shit pie that the Israeli and US Media cooked up.

I think this is the crowd that tried Mastodon and then abandoned it when they realized it required a modicum of effort.

“EDumper” is a great name for a dump truck.

I wouldn’t trust it. We now live in an era where, if you want control of any kind of information, you simply can’t share it digitally in any way.

I added ‘Missouri’ to the title to make clearer. Solid point.

Pretty cool story from my home town. Enjoy.

To each their own. For me it was a neat gift and a joyful experience.
