My name is Dee, I hope you like me, if you don’t the block button is free.
As somebody who produces content (with a full time job so not as often as I like) it’s so much harder to get engagement on mastodon without the algorithm tbh. I’m trying to get my name out there but engagement is slim to none compared to say, Instagram. I’m not on Twitter but both BlueSky and Mastodon have been a struggle. I don’t see myself devoting too much energy into them as far as posting content goes tbh.
There is a fediverse version of YouTube already called PeerTube. But people are finding it’s incredibly expensive to host video streaming servers and is a large part why it hasn’t really taken off.
At first I thought this might be an overreaction to be perfectly honest. But I just read through some of the Dev responses in the AMA… what the fuck is the issue with removing exploding heads from join-lemmy??
The other questions on the development itself weren’t awesome but wow that comment chain about join-lemmy is something else.
I could overlook the CCP support if they keep it on their instances but funneling people into an instance like that… I’m not sure how to feel about Lemmy either TBH.
Completely agree, I don’t know why their messaging is so shit compared to the GOP. They need more Dark Brandon memes but ones that outline their policies like this lol
This is great to see, the Biden admin has been doing a way better job than I thought they would going into the presidency. Still a long ways off from what I’d ideally want to see but moves like this are always welcome.
Yeah, I’m normally bad at remembering names but his stuck out because it was one I don’t hear often. I also love Never Ending Story, so that was another bonus for me lol
I was curious if this would get updated with the new charges added. Props for sticking with it, this is currently my favorite saved post lol
because I’m a minor or something.
That’s a pretty big something tbh, it makes sense that a mod/admin might not want a minor making sexual jokes on their instance. I’m sorry that happened and as much as it sucks for self expression it’s something to keep in mind until you’re eighteen because it might happen again.
You see that [email protected]?? I’ve got options!
I’d love to keep the clean OS experience of the Pixel but I may have to go with Sony on my next phone. This one should last for another two or three years though.
Does anyone know if current Pixel/Samsung hardwarewill support this??
It doesn’t seem like they’ve said one way or the other (unless I missed something). It would be nice if it did but if I’m being honest I’m guessing no. If only new phones will have it then it will push more people to continue their yearly/bi-yearly upgrade cycle.
I refuse to “upgrade” until they put the aux port back. Still rocking my 4a 5G, it’s great AND has an aux port tyvm.
Man everything is political
these days
Always has been.
Thank you for this awesome resource!! I’ve been wondering a good way to find merchants like these and this takes care of a lot of searching 😄
Ha, I didn’t even realize it was out.
That’s what happens when the core DC audience rejects the movie because you refuse to recast the garbage human that’s playing the protagonist. As an Enby, Ezra makes me even more angry because when you mention non-binary they’re typically the first celebrity that comes to mind for a lot of people. I’m glad that they’re likely never going to be able to land any more large movies like this.
It’s just evokes a feeling of deep comfort for me. The Hobbit was the first novel I read by myself as a kid, was so proud to finish it haha
Ever since, returning to The Shire and Arda brings out that same feeling of a warm childhood home.
Makes it easy to go back for a visit every year 😄
I typically re-read the LOTR, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion once a year. Well, The Silmarillion is once every two years because, whew, it is a dense one.
Found my new favorite science communicator, she did such an awesome job here! I’ll have to check out the rest of her videos because she seems to cover a lot of different science topics.
For what it matters, I think the most important thing to take away from what I said is that the houseless are not a monolith. As soon as somebody says “all houseless do X” know that they’re talking out of their ass. All houseless people do not do any one thing, because they’re all individual people with their own wants and needs.
I think it’s great you’re questioning those feelings you’re having though and wanting to help more. That’s where I started. Even if the progress is slow, as long as you’re moving forward in that direction it’s a good thing. Best of luck to you 😊
What is your opinion on giving money to houseless people you see IRL?
I live in the PDX area and so run into a lot of houseless people. For me, it varies. The houseless are not a monolith. There are many, many different kinds of houseless for how they got there and why they’re there now. Many just need a bit of help to get back on their feet, many others don’t want help. You just have to talk to them to get to know them. I’ve had many conversations with them on the train and there’s a lot of good people out there who were given a tough break. I don’t give to every one of them, but the ones I know it will help I try to when I’m able.
I’m fully aware of that thanks, I was responding to:
And saying from the perspective of a content creator, that’s an issue that’s hard to overlook. So mastodon won’t get to that point of having all the content creators if there isn’t something to help them share their content. I don’t know what the solution would be, maybe a separate feed with an algorithm that people can switch to if they want.
Edit: and the antisocial comments below is why mastodon will never take off with the larger population and therefore never really compete with Twitter, Threads, or BlueSky for content.
