Just an fyi you can block the trolls here.

Getting passkey support soon, too. I switched just last month and it's been a great experience.

I didn't realize how uncomfortable my gums were until I started flossing. Now, if I don't floss for a couple days, it feels straght-up gross.

A lot of the people I follow are trying out Threads, but because of no federation yet, you need to use their app to see what they post there. It's a bit clumsy and I don't think that they launched without fed on accident.

I wonder if we'll also see people posting on both Threads and Mastodon, which will mean having to follow two accounts for one person if I want to see both. Just seems odd to use both rather than migrate.

Trying to think positive about this, but just not seeing many upsides so far.

Would be nice! Though I think as we get more content being posted more regularly, will be less necessary.

Yep. If this lets users:

  • use their existing account
  • follow people they already follow
  • do everything Twitter did for free...

This thing is gonna take off.

Are photographers not artists, because their medium is too easy?

Damn. Shots fired.

Pun intended.

Don't know about you all, but I will continue to check reddit until Sync for reddit stops working. On July 1st, if it's no longer working, reddit is gone.

To piggy-back off this, take stock of your current favorite games and do some searching to find out how those have worked out for others. ProtonDB is a great resource for games on Steam. Outside Steam it can often be done, but can be a headache.

I will typically try a game on Linux first, but keep Windows around and will just boot into that if I cant get up and running pretty quick. Don't have time to deal with the tinkering all day haha

Would they? I'd assume they're getting most of their info from spaz, who will just point to the dip and then "see, number go up."

I have to imagine many of these investors also have money in areas whose prices have skyrocketed due to "inflation." They've seen the profits other industries are getting away with and now big tech feels the need to do the same. These companies are supposed to be the future, after all... How will it look if big oil is more profitable than mainstream digital platforms? To investors, it looks bad.

Sadly, when your ability to generate profit relies on using your users (or the developers and mods that run your platform cough Reddit) like cheap labor, rather than providing better product at reasonable prices, digital platforms suffer in usability or features. It's kind of a lose lose for anyone that actually cares, because so far the market hasn't self-corrected.
