I see BlueSky as different than Lemmy. In my mind, Twitter = BlueSky and Mastodon and Reddit = Lemmy and Kbin (if that’s even still around).

They took crypto bros VC money.

Do we really think they’ll allow mass federation without getting returns on their investment?

On principle, personally. I was done with Reddit after the API shit.

My issue with BS is it took VC money from crypto bros.

What do we think will happen when they come looking for their returns on investment?

Looking like it’s about time lmgtfy to make a comeback.

There’s a trending posts list which helps fill this want for me.

What are you using for tagging?

I need tags badly. I used them heavily on Reddit with the Reddit Enhancement Suite.

They helped me call out “great replacement” types more than once.

This is a good way to end up with a feed of only people who agree with you. Sounds nice, right?

If I’d done this in my early years on the internet, I might still be a right-wing Christian. Years of not having any good arguments against the atheists I encountered on the internet made a difference.

Same with my political leanings.

Confronting ideas you don’t agree with is a part of life and silencing opposing opinions puts you in danger of getting stuck in ideas that might not make sense.

iOS has a first party health app that has menstrual tracking. I’m under the impression Apple takes data security seriously. If you don’t, self hosted is probably best.

Really hard to help people who refuse to help themselves.

Let’s fast forward to the part where you tell me how they pass a law protecting abortion when the GOP owns the House.

Doesn’t matter now. The GOP has a trifecta and SCOTUS so prepare for a nationwide ban. Very cool that we’re about to lose what little protections we have at the state level too.

I wrote in my own name for president this time around. That way I’m sure to be 100% perfectly aligned with who I voted for. I’m sorry to hear about this but I just couldn’t vote for Harris. /s

That’s all valid.

If not, what would it take?

A change in the US election system to something like STAR, Approval, or RCV.

Without that, I can go ahead and predict the next US presidential election right now. It’ll be the Dem or Rep nominee. Quote me on it.

Glad we only buy game consoles from China. Can you imagine what these tariffs would do if a significant portion of our imports came from there?

Check out Vivaldi. Yes it’s still Chromium. Consider reading the link.

We went from voting privately to “speaking up”. Why?

What was keeping them from voting for Harris besides their own shitty views?

How do you plan to recalibrate your BS meter after seeing how you were wrong here?

I just farted

lol
