Wait till it’s so enshittified it’s unusable

Discord is going public soon, so start the timer…

Whoa, so much to browse through. Thanks!

I’ve been having decent luck adding topics that I like (e.g. Star Trek), but I guess what I’m most curious to find are types of feeds that translate well to RSS. Like, weather alerts, podcasts, webcomics, etc.

Ah, very nice! I’ve heard you can follow any Mastodon account via RSS too, but I haven’t tried that out yet. I’m glad to see RSS is alive and well in the fediverse.

The tags for specific feeds seem to be really important for news sites. I tried adding one without it, and it completely overwhelmed my feed with a billion posts per day. I removed it in less than 24 hrs, lol

Oh, very cool idea! I’m adding the star trek tag now to try it out and may expand from there if I like it. Thanks!

Oh, I have just the page to test this out on now. Thank you!

This is promising! Thanks.

I’m using Feeder too. I haven’t tried any others, but I remember someone on lemmy recommended it once before, and it seems perfectly good to me.

Wow, I should have scrolled back some for these. Thanks.

Because he’s very important.

It’s the social media equivalent of supporting a bunch of Mom and Pop shops (or opening your own!) vs some hyper-sanitized, corporate monstrosity like Wal-Mart.

Determine if the relationship is having a negative impact on you, then either 1) assess why it’s hurting you and if there’s anything to adjust about how you’re processing it, or 2) protect your mental health by setting up the boundaries that you need, cutting off as a last resort.

Be cautious about asking this online though. People are tribal about politics and have zero investment in your IRL relationships, so you may see lots of rationalizing of cutting off a lifelong friend, family member, spouse, etc without much nuance. Only you have the proper perspective to determine what you’d be sacrificing and if it’s a net positive.

My wife is the culprit in our house. Should I get her screened…?

Ha, you are very right. I’ve slightly edited the title to fix this.

I’m seeing very simple grammatical mistakes in articles more and more. It’s bizarre. Even if the author makes a mistake, where are the editors? Do we have a shortage of English majors somehow?

It’s lies all the way down…

Odds are that one of these two things will be the highlight of your day today.

(Good luck and congrats!)

Aw, that’s adorable.

Part of it seems to stem from people’s excitement to infodump about how federated social media works.

That’s relevant and interesting to learn about, but the average person just needs to hear “make and account here and start browsing memes” first.
