Bluesky wins out.

Sorry, but there’s companies and interest groups at play here. No one is championing Mastodon but us fossy poors.

Would kinda be nice if I dunno… Harvard or, Brown maybe would take an interest in privacy focused social media and start lobbying for and spreading it.

We have companies spending billions on bullshit, with nobody spending a cent on truth.

So… same-same.

You can always work back up the ladder and go ask your parents.

Papers, Please

A summary of the standard mastodon front page:

1. News report about Trump
2. The temperature in Sudan
3. The travel trajectory of a plane carrying people you’ve never heard of, going somewhere you’ve never heard of.
4. A penis
5. Ai art of Bart Simpson and a worm from Dune
6. An AOC quote
7. Furry porn, diaper optional
8. A Linux distro professing a new update
9. Someone’s Chaos Space Marine (it actually looks really nice and they really took their time)

I like it in a flea market kinda sense but, I mean, come on, man.

Now… fight for my amusement.

This mechanic voted for Harris.

This mechanic is also never worried about anything. Republican or Democrat, your car breaks down all the same, and I’ll be waiting with a bill that doesn’t give any sort of a shit about inflation as you’re all well-aware.

Get a pet.

There. Now go to work or it dies.

Consider this practice for children.

Who’s forcing them to buy an iPhone?

I mean, at some point you might want to pull the problem up by the root. The root seems to be Apple.

Headscale worked for me, but I get the non-tech saavy friends part doesn’t quite jive with it as a solution.

Still, anyone wanna ditch Tailscale and only use it for hosting sites across proxies? Headscale is great.

I don’t get the rush or the need.

Everything trickles down here anyway. If you’re ONLY on Lemmy and Mastodon, you’re still getting way more actual news than the average joe. Popular, shmopular.

I’m trying to remember a time in the last thirty years where something becoming popular made it better. It’s usually the opposite.

Hit up all

giant penis

That’s why. That’s the reason.

but you could review the instance beforehand…

Is Jimbo Normalman going to review the instance beforehand? Lmao.

Maybe Facebook is the right place for some people.

Find a small community of like-minded friends to hang with online.

Hell, I only visit Reddit and Lemmy for the big news for a few minutes before heading off to check discord and matrix chats and everywhere else I go.

Branch out.

The EPA and FDA didn’t get big from kindness.

Tf part of Lemmy did I find myself in?

Just put another number behind it. Luddites won’t know the difference.

Where’s the fun slider? Mine is stuck on suck.

1 unit of “support”.
