Ooo cool. I’ve subscribed to both. Thanks

I personally don’t like microblogging platforms in general. It’s cool that there’s an alternative to twitter and the like, but I just have no pull towards platforms that emulate that kind of environment.
I think it’s great that it’s so popular and has introduced a lot of people to the fediverse and spread awareness of ethical alternatives to corporate slop, but is not for me.

Tbh it’s an unfortunate risk that comes with relationships, period. Doesn’t matter how many relationships one has, be it simultaneously or not. Practicing safe sex, testing and communicating well is the only thing that separates someone with STDs, and someone without STDs. I’d go so far as to say people who have open relationships probably tend to practice safety more often than those who don’t

I’m not upvoting this.
it’s a fantastic, well-reasoned post, but I don’t believe it’s an unpopular opinion to at all.
The public conversation around DEI is highly polarized which creates a false impression that a balanced, pragmatic view like this is rare. I think you’ve articulated a middle ground that most people hold

Any intentional choice made to capture human attention functions as an algorithm.

For instance, when a creator posts an intentionally silly title, it triggers a predictable urge in users to comment on that silliness. This deliberate cause-and-effect cycle means the creator’s strategy itself is the engagement-driving algorithm. A good example of this human-designed system is ragebaiting which systematically uses manufactured outrage to multiply views and comments

A Russian Sausage is a South African imitation of the Polish Kielbasa that was adapted by early European immigrants in South Africa. So a Russian Roll is pretty much a Hot Dog Roll but with a Russian Sausage instead

If it’s effective, sure!

It’s saturday here and I’m working from home. Got me a russian roll and chippies (or french fries). Yum.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to follow the 3-2-1 storage rule.
(3 Copies, 2 Media Types, 1 Off-site)
Copy 1 would be the original info saved on your main drive or wherever you access them immediately. Copy 2 is a local backup saved to an external hard drive or a home server, ideally one that’s powered off and not connected to direct power (lightning strikes)
Copy 3 can either be a cloud storage backup (such as Google Drive or OneDrive) or a copy kept at a friend’s house.

How dare you come here with your sound logic and reason that makes sense

God that looks good.
I’m a sucker for shitty food porn

This is actually great!
Social media sites should do this. There’s never a good reason to be on [Insert Corporate Slop Social Media Website here] at 3AM.

Technology is healing

Makes sense. Most people just read the AI summary now anyway, enough for the first ad to finish rolling

I’m probably being overly semantic but perhaps saying “A person with a blue hat and dark skin” would be the least abrasive way of putting it? That said, obsessing over endless semantic refinement and searching for a flawless alternative that does not exist for fear of hypothetical offense will lead to recursive over-correction ad nauseam

“How do you know someone’s not a vegan? They’ll tell a vegan.”

No, he was a freelance ritual specialist.

I appreciate that! I’m not sure which communities I could cross-post cel-damage content to, but I like that that’s a native feature.

I used to watch it every Sunday morning before church when I was a wee lad. The whole show is available on YT btw
