Not just politics! They removed our comments for “misinformation”. Very big brother, very cool, definitely no suppression of speech here

HAHAHA THEY REMOVED YOURS TOO, this instance is tankie GARBAGE

I wanna say I had sonic 2 installed? And it was about as controllable as you’d imagine with the scrollwheel lol.

LMAO they removed my comment

Oh I’m so scared

Cool I’m so glad I got wildly overpriced soap dispensers on planes I’ll never board for the fucking huge chunk of cash our useless fucking government takes from me instead of healthcare, or roads that aren’t full of potholes, or properly functioning public transit, I love this country and my life

This hurts. I need to think about what I’m doing for a living.

I hope someday that hexbear users learn how to use their words.

I’m glad a lot of the major vpns have stopped advertising them with “watch Netflix from any country, anywhere!” Because you could only do that for a short time before they started blocking all VPN IPs, and it was just blatant false advertising.

I’m annoyed with how mastodon works and I don’t think it’s ever going to change, so I might give bluesky a try.

Yeah, the site is mean. The doomerism is also really strong here. I should probably just try to cut out social media entirely. It’s not good for me.

I really enjoy the game, and I play 2 accounts.

Yeah it’s the Onion

Agreed. Seems like it’s just tech bro clickbait to call them air taxis though. I sincerely doubt that will ever happen with how risk averse the FAA is. All that happened was the FAA released regulations on this new class of VTOL aircraft.

People are talking about config issues doing this. When I do a reinstall, I just backup my dotfiles and let them rebuild. I usually don’t have to restore many of them, just for a few apps I know I want the config for.

Groan

Yeah fair points. I will say this implosion of the social media I used to use has pushed me towards doing other things than scrolling on my phone lol, and that is a positive thing.

That’s fair I suppose.

I disagree, I just think some kind of engagement algorithm would be better. I haven’t used bluesky or threads so I can’t speak to them. I’m just saying that back in the day on twitter, I had no problem finding a bunch of very funny and clever posts, and posts were catered to me well. Through both me following people and I assume through the engagement algorithm. I’ve tried adding a bunch of hashtags, but I’m not finding a bunch of hilarious stuff to send to my friends like I did back then on twitter.

Bunch of spam too, because bots use the hashtags, so I’m often scrolling through a bunch of auto-posted stuff. Idk. Maybe I’m using it wrong. I just feel like your average person isn’t going to go through all that crap so they’ll cling to twitter until it dies.

And I’ve tried switching instances around, which is just confusing honestly, and didn’t really help with finding lots of content that I want to see. I used mastodon more when I was able to mirror people I know are funny on twitter to my mastodon feed lol. I want to like it, I just find I’m never tempted to go on it. Can’t figure it out.
