i also absolutely feel this way, but i think more people like ~the algorithms~ than people like us suspect. you have no idea how many new people i’ve seen complain about this on mastodon. people show up, see a blank feed that they have to make an effort to populate, and turn around and leave. i think a lot of people enjoy frictionless spoonfed content a la the tiktok for you page these days…

good to know, but it speaks a lot about their priorities that neither was there on launch, imo.

it’s the title of a YMO song!

getting an extra-long phone charging cable is such a silly purchase but it’s sooo useful. like i can’t live without one at this point. phone almost dead but the outlet is too far away? not anymore it’s not!

aww, i love this site! but i also can’t find the pin i know i put there when i found the site anymore- i wonder if they removed it. oh well

same. i’m still an introverted awkward autistic weirdo and i’ve had just as much trouble making friends living in a city as anywhere else. but one of the things i like about living here is that even though i’m basically always alone, i’m also always around other people. it’s nice imo

i feel this too, i tried using searx for a while and found it really nice but frequently down or broken :/ i’ll try some of the instances suggested here.

i think this ties back to the idea that suffering is noble and enlightening, somehow. the flip side of that is the idea that nothing important or meaningful can be conveyed through happiness. i don’t think that’s true, but i guess a lot of people do.

i haven’t seen any hard confirmation, but i believe one of these mastodon admin meetings has already happened and an nda was involved. this would be the second meeting.

as a longtime mastodon user, tech articles about the fediverse are often very confused and under researched. it’s like tech reporters take one look at the websites and their brains shut off- if they ever even looked at them to begin with.
