That too.

I can only assume BlueSky feels more familiar.

Mastodon requires a bit of effort, lacking an algorithm to drive content toward users, so you have to do a bit more yourself.

The Dems lost approximately 10,000,000 voters this time around, and Trump ended up winning by approximately 500,000.

Seems to me the Dems are the idiots for thinking they could fail to follow through on their promises and people would continue to vote for them. You don’t get to punch people in the face and then pretend it’s their fault when you broke your hand, after all.

There aren’t any ads on Mastodon. :)

You just search hashtags or set up a column so you have a feed giving you everything under a given hashtag, though it may be those communities are so niche there isn’t much on the Mastodon instance you chose. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a specific instance for Buddhism itself, though, given that it’s such a massive world religion.

You’re comparing apples to oranges.

But that’s okay.

It’s objectively a healthier option. All for it.

Having a parent in charge of programming instead of an algorithm makes a world of difference.

That’s probably fair. There’s an abundance of smug assholery in the world right now. Apologies.

Good.

This is the digital equivalent of making sure the cigarettes and liquor are locked up, because there’s a wealth of evidence that social media is harmful to young people.

If you didn’t want to have to actually parent your own children instead of parking them in front of a screen that’s driving them toward self-hatred and fascism, you shouldn’t have procreated in the first place.

Must be nice to be so rich that you can just be this fucking weird in public.

The whole ‘rescue plane’ bullshit was a nice little cherry on top of this propagandistic shit pie that the Israeli and US Media cooked up.

I think this is the crowd that tried Mastodon and then abandoned it when they realized it required a modicum of effort.

“EDumper” is a great name for a dump truck.

I wouldn’t trust it. We now live in an era where, if you want control of any kind of information, you simply can’t share it digitally in any way.

I added ‘Missouri’ to the title to make clearer. Solid point.

Pretty cool story from my home town. Enjoy.

That’s wonderful. Happy for you!

What’s lazy is this McCarthyist nonsense you and yours are spewing here.

I’m anti-war.

Doesn’t make me a traitor, whereas you and yours have never seen a war you dislike, even though we keep learning that the past three decades have seen the US go to war over and over again based on false premises.

It isn’t directly

Good. Perhaps say something relevant then.

That’s a completely separate issue.
