That's what I'm seeing too. Mastadon is kind of cool, there are some cool things to see there but it's in the world of Twitter, Instagram etc where it's all about the self promoting, and not about building community really.

Yeah... All the states with the death penalty.

I drink diet soda to not drink soda. I drink soda to not do drugs and alcohol. I'd much rather have heroin than diet coke, but I probably shouldn't ever have that again. So I'll have a diet coke, on ice please.

Should get rid of paywall

Disc golf. Most cities of moderate size have a course somewhere around and most are free to use. Can get started with 1 disc, about 10 to 12 dollars for a putter, all you'd need to start, or get a starter set of 3 discs for about 30 to 40 bucks at most sporting goods stores.

Absolutely, also laws that regulate volume in all ads across all platforms. Also laws that forbid campaign ads.

Repost bots are way up, and covering the front page. I suspect in an attempt to make it look like business as usual.

Compared to musk? No. Not even close tongue same tier. But he's still a 1%er

Imagine paying 40billion dollars on a company to just sink it, and being like "oh well still rich lol"

If you like tech, especially throw backs to old computers you might like Veronica explains. She has 2 accounts on mastodon, one seems more active and the other on seems mostly to just point to her YT channel.

just search for Veronica explains under users/channels and both will show up

I found her cause in addition to being new to the fediverse I'm also new to Linux and found some Linux stuff on her YouTube channel.

Nope, I even had one of those it was in maintenance. I had a set list of daily, weekly, monthly tasks , as well as w/e can up in between those, and on call certain days on a rotation with the other guy. As soon as our work was complete we could clock off and just go onto call frte remainder of our shift instead of mill around doing nothing waiting for a call. But with weekly and monthly routine maintenance tasks to do it was usually only a few days a week that we could knock off early and just be available if needed.

Then all of a sudden the manager got all whiny, "I have to be here mywhole shift , why don't you guys" blah blah blah. Fucking cry baby.

Anyway I refused to follow their orders of staying till the end of my shift until I eventually was fired. Because I was following the shift I was hired to do, and given no valid reason of why the shift needed to change, other than some butthurt sack of shit.

So the tl:Dr of that is it might start that way but eventually some piss baby is going to get it changed on you.

Someone told me i was going to get banned for saying i joined lemmy.world on reddit.. and it's like.. Okay?? This site is shit now anyways, so you're going to ban me for using a different website, that's a great way to retain users during your mass-user revolt crisis.
