Because when you see somebody with -1000 karma, it’s a pretty good indicator that you shouldn’t waste your time engaging with them.

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.

Ackshually, the name “Travis” comes from the root word “traverse”, which is of Latin origin, not Greek. So it would actually be Travia.

I’ve got some bad news for you about ActivityPub then.

They’re perfectly horrifying.

“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.

Become a comedian. Make people pay to laugh at 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 #[email protected] 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.

3. An empty bottle of iced coffee that I started on at the beginning of my shift and just finished a few minutes ago. About to start moving to the shaker cup of G Fuel for more caffeine to carry me through the rest of the night. Last one’s a steel water bottle.

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.

Because wanting braindead content that you don’t have to think about or form a critical opinion over is a valid request. There’s a big reason the Fediverse doesn’t see widespread adoption: the content sucks, it’s all politics from the farther edges of every end of the spectrum and FOSSbro tech discussion that’s about as insufferable as cryptobro subreddits.

If the Fediverse wants to attract more people, then it needs to start expanding into what those other people actually want. They don’t want to have a furry with a Stalin profile pic explain Linux kernel to them, they want to laugh at inconsequential videos of children falling into things that they can leave a “heart” on and quickly share a link to their friend with.

Don’t worry, soon they’ll catch on to “cooked”.

Just 11 for me, all spambots. Luckily, I’ve not had many problems with real people around here.

I mean, Sakurai’s said that about every Smash game since Melee.

Ah, I had no idea that worked! Good to know.
