I’m gonna be honest, Mastodon is kinda trash, on its own. It’s clunky, ugly, and feels like a platform from 2010 (but not in a good way). I think getting people onboard with a Misskey/Sharkey instance is going to be much better. The feature set is a lot closer to Twitter, and it does literally everything Mastodon does, but better.
I’m a big Phendrana Drifts fan, myself.
they have to reinvest most of them into the company and it’s employees.
In theory, this would be true. But in Mozilla’s case, “reinvesting into its employees” means giving the CEO a pay raise in the same year they did huge layoffs. They may be not-for-profit on paper, but the actions from their execs are exactly the same as you’d see from any other for-profit corp. Being not-for-profit is just an excuse for shitty business practices and doesn’t change anything in any significant way, imo.
I’ve been saying for years that Mozilla is a profit-driven corp, just like any other. If they operated at Google’s scale, they’d be evil at Google’s scale, as well. It’s not the first time they’ve done something like this, and likely won’t be the last.
I had to get a sleep mask because I can’t put up blackout curtains in my apartment. Works well enough for me. But also, I’m pretty sure I’ve got a mutation on my DEC2 gene, because I only sleep 4-5 hours a night (or day, technically) and feel just fine, so I’m not sure if that helps or hinders my abilities during my waking hours.
That’s not what I asked.
That’s a bad take. The mods made the choice to moderate a general-purpose community in the first place. If they want a more narrowly-focused community, they should make one.
Nobody was doing that here, though. Have you even seen this community? It’s super inactive to begin with.
How does that disqualify US political questions from being posted here, then?
Just to be pedantic, it’s not that the coating, itself, has any color; it’s usually clear, actually. The color shift is caused by the glass and the coating having different refractive indexes, causing the light to split up slightly as it reflects off the lens. Kinda like an oil slick on the street reflecting bright greens and purples that aren’t actually there.
Government entities generally follow the principle of “We go where the people go”. If the majority of people are using Twitter and YouTube and Facebook, then that’s where the government bodies will host their accounts. You’d need a way to ensure that their message will reach their audience before you can even begin getting them onboard with the process of creating and setting up a whole new social platform. And that’s going to be the hardest part to sell, since Mastodon is still among the least-used platforms available. Either show up with the critical mass needed to ensure that they’ve got an established user base, or show a plan to reach that point.
I was sitting at the bus stop one day, heading into work. As I’m sitting on the bench, with headphones in, some guy stands up and waves at me to get my attention. I’ve seen him before; he’s usually at the bus stop at the same time as I am on most days, but we’ve never talked until now. I take out my earbuds, and he points at the ground behind me and says with a smile on his face “Are you gonna finish that?”
I look back where he’s pointing, and there’s a dirty shoe on the ground behind me. The joke didn’t quite land, but just to be polite I said “Haha, it’s all yours”. He takes a step over toward the shoe and gently nudges it with his foot, and then lets out an “Oh fuck”. I turn to look at the shoe again, and that’s when I realize that it’s not empty. There’s a whole severed foot in the shoe, with flies and maggots starting to make a home in the stump.
We called the cops who came out, taped off the bus stop and took down our statements, and then I’ve never heard anything else about the situation since then. I never found a news story about the foot, no follow-up from the PD about it, nothing. The bus stop was open the next day. Never saw that guy at the bus stop again after that, either; no clue if he was involved in the foot situation or if it just shook him so hard that he changed his route to work.
“Family” and “relation” aren’t mutually exclusive; call the cops on your brother. You can’t un-radicalize him, but you can at least keep him away from you.
Kbin/Mbin handle microblog posts kinda oddly. They’re not actually attached to the magazine you see them in, in most cases, and it’s instead *bin auto-sorting posts by hashtag. *bin will aggregate all of the microblog content and sort it by the first hashtag listed, and that’ll determine which local magazine that post will appear in.
So for instance, I could post:
Just got the high score! #gaming
And this will show up in /m/gaming for you, even though I didn’t specify any magazine to post it to. I could do that from my Mastodon account, even, and you’d see it there, as well. You can subscribe to local magazines to effectively subscribe to Mastodon hashtags this way.
Posting microblog content directly to a magazine is a bit weird, as *bin basically just adds a “hidden” hashtag with the magazine’s full address in the metadata. So if you wanted to post a microblog post to this magazine, for instance, you could do that by either selecting this magazine from the list when posting, or you could include #fediverse@lemmy.world as a hashtag from any Fediverse platform, and it’ll show up in the microblog tab on *bin.
I hope that makes sense; I might not be explaining it properly lol
I haven’t had the watermelon one yet, but the slushie one is legit, too! My roommate gets that one sometimes, so I’ll occasionally sneak a scoop of it.
Miami Nights! I usually go between this one and the Diablo health potion flavor.
This is normal for me. I typically bring all 3 to my desk at the start of my shift and sip on them throughout the night.
I think you’re underestimating who “we” includes when talking about the Fediverse. Normies want a place here, too.
Now why would an account created 1 hour ago be asking something like this?
