When life gives you oranges, don’t make orange juice. Make life take the oranges back! Get mad! You don’t want those damn oranges, what the hell are you supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Bougie_Birdie oranges! Do you know who you are? You’re the man who’s gonna burn a house down! With the oranges! You’re gonna get your engineers to invent a combustible orange that burns a house down!

Twitter, where the response to “I like Hot Dogs” is “Why do you hate Cheeseburgers???”

There has also been an influx of toxic people whose only joy is getting a reaction out of others that are joining because the people they’d normally target on X are leaving. I’ve seen them trying to get the same type of engagement they used to get and also a lot of other people calling them out as “Hey, this person is an ass, you can block them/add them to the MAGA Trolls list”. That could seem like a flood of toxicity to some.

I only have 2 followers, is it possible that I’m the bot? Wait, how would I know if I was? Is this the Matrix? Damnit! Maybe there’s a website to find out? BotOrNot? What even is a traffic light? Is a bus a car? What about a truck? Is a motorcycle a bike? A scooter? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhrgh….

I’ve been on Bluesky since February. I have yet to see any nudity that I didn’t actively seek out. It’s not too difficult.

Honestly that’s probably the best sort of solution. A group that has some minimum standards of moderation and maintenance/upgrade management plan and just evenly distribute the load as people arrive.

Then as a second phase make it easy to transfer, that way at the point the user gets comfortable they can easily swap to a better* “home” for those that care, for those that don’t, make the server choice be virtually invisible.

Having actually read this now, the biggest valid complaint is the same one rehashed in the past. It’s VC funded to start and the future there is uncertain. The board has openly discussed funding plans and There are some mitigations like having the code be open source from the start and almost completely self host-able with improvements to come at this early stage that try to fend that off though.

Saying Mastodon is better because there’s no algorithm is true of Bluesky too. And if they are seeing as much porn as it sounds like (unless you’re talking about Alf’s Hog or Tom Bombadill’s Big Naturals which were a bit like when Lemmy Shitpost goes gets on a bean streak) their feed was built by who they followed.

As long as the fediverse has a barrier to entry for most people of mandating choosing a server first, it will never become the mainstream choice.

Bluesky also lets you unpin your quotes from others posts so no quote dunking and they have a nuclear block. If you’re blocked, you can’t see their posts anywhere in quotes or otherwise (excepting screenshots) and that interaction is broken completely even to third parties that may have neither blocked.

Dobbs and Chevron would disagree with your claim of “irrelevant”. You might not be aware, but that’s not the same thing…

I wonder what the reward is if you get 10 recalls on your punchcard?

WOOO!!! Free Malaria in Egypt!!!

Hand waving away a lot of the developmental process, you could make a male or female offspring from 2 males or a female offspring from 2 females that would be indistinguishable from the variety in the normal population.

Have you tried taking a walk outside in the sun while eating better and getting more sleep?

This guy seems to think so :)

“Fake cryptocurrency”

Phone call from the Department of Redundancy Department on line one…

We just finished binging it. Aside from Neil and Mozzie together being Masters of Everything, it really held up well imho.

Looking forward to the reunion season.

That was probably for the extremely outdated and racist use of “chinaman”. Even if you were using like Florida Man, it’s still a good word to avoid.

But Putin is afRAid of Trump, don’cha know.

Wait, you mean doors work for other people too?
