this place is gonna speedrun the entire existence of twitter in like two years, choose your mastodon instance wisely

two honorable contenders, can't blame anyone for struggling with this one https://jorts.horse/@Verrence/115390881226601135

yet again, just like last time, the most recent firefox update turned on a bunch of AI crap i had manually turned off in about:config. https://laserdisc.party/@radicalrobit/115377768894766447

it's very disorienting to not have to be constantly shoveling terrible accounts into the wood chipper,, it's like when you quit cigs and you aren't sure what to do with your hands anymore

Even if you fix it you can tell it's been broke.

I turned off all the labels from the official Bluesky moderation service except maybe the spam ones. Obviously they're not really acting in good faith so I feel I had to throw out the whole thing.

I got put onto elk.zone, it's much better. Lets you log on with any instance

the "lame ass trump nicknames" game has devolved to the point of just randomly rearranging letters in his name, resulting in something that you can't pronounce, which means nothing and which carries no weight as an insult. just makes you look like you're drunk

❌ making up goofy insult names for people ✅ speaking with such venom that the real name becomes an insult

getting all gassed up about your latest 4th grade tier insult by hundreds of bots looking for keywords to bless with likes

great web interface and great Android app, it makes mastodon 1000x more viable as a posting space

Okay, so I made a Mastodon. Not because I'm leaving, but because I'm nosy as hell. mastodon.social/@farmgoth

Has enough time passed that we can it was fucking insane Obama won a Nobel peace prize like Trump was right about that one specific thing

weird thing; i can’t see your (Brit’s) replies in this thread unless I click ‘show hidden’…. why hidden, who hiding, stoopid website, conspiring to make me do the thing (learn mastodon) but I don’t wanna learn stuff 😩 it hurts 😖 and i’m lazy 🙃

mcdonal is doing the monopoly thing again and if you didn't know, it's considered a sweepstakes which means they need what's called an "alternative method of entry" for people who don't want to pay. you can request free game pieces (which occasionally are free food) 5 times per day here

[3 days later]: damn, it’s poppin off over on mastodon lol

yeah, y’all are busted 🤨 lmfao

Calling out increasingly baroque and intimidating names for my attacks, like the Litany of Agony or Mournful Dance Among the Dead, but every time I just shoot the enemy with my gun

Remember, if you enjoy life half as much as Vincent Price must have, you're doing okay.

I am the furthest thing from a lawyer but ChatGPT is legally NOT a lawyer, thus not having lawyer-client confidentiality, which means your legal advice convos or whatever can be subpoenaed. Have fun!

a platform is not truly decentralized unless a furry with a spare raspberry pi 3 can spin up its own instance of it

most considerate BMW driver

Colbert is singlehandedly one of the biggest disappointments of my past formative political development. of course, i was young when i first started watching the Colbert Report, but to see him become what he is? straight up filth, honestly.

One big change from the great depression is that soup lines are illegal in around 39 cities now, to punish the unhoused.

had no idea Robert Palmer makes a cameo at the end of the Sgt. Pepper movie (from a Record Mirror interview, Oct 1978)

disregarding precise math, for every three followers i accumulate i am placed on one blocklist. however since i came here from mastodon, this is my engagement level comfort zone and my haters have played their role to perfection

virginia still out here getting violently nude without reprisal

either this website's buggy in very peculiar ways that precisely mirror twitter or there's Something Questionable Going On Around Here that happens to coincide with the arrival of Questionable People and Institutions.

popping off a foreskin like a champagne cork and letting all the autism out

a fun thing to do when you hear Aaron Copeland’s “Hoedown” on the radio is to yell “BEEF!”

I bet an up-and-coming young comedian could make a good living satirizing a bumbling late night host who says awful things at the behest of the right wing asshole that owns the network

anytime someone says “it’s here to stay” about some new garbage tech like NFTs or AI, that basically means “i’ve already sank money into this and need it to stay long enough to make that money back”

Anyway

bluesky lawyering up to sue every user who ever posted a screenshot of their rules back at them

STOP REPORTING ME!! i will NOT abandon the sling!because having worn it for a decade it has fused into my flesh

dang so the people who said that ambush was actually planned out well in advance with the campaign in order to give mamdani the chance to look smooth addressing the issues were bullshitting, knock me over with a feather

are you a lawyer with a taste for the absurd and a high tolerance for complete nonsense? bluesky is hiring!

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.

i wonder if in australia bsky is circling the drain counterclockwise

(Screenshot for full context) This is why "giving them more votes" will never work. It doesn't matter if liberals etc. have all the support in the world when *they don't want to fight*. Kimmel is Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries. They will never ever "wake up"

Goddamn these are pretty opening credits

One thing I've noticed even about Mastodon and even Bluesky is they don't really have disability "discourses" the way Twitter does. There are sadly just as many reactionary "leftists" here as Twitter, but it's less able to cohere as a massive wave with days/weeks of constant bullying and harassment

when in doubt, blame reagan.

You can just give people nicknames it isn't illegal. Got a buddy named Taylor? Not any more that's T Rex. Know a Leah? Hey L Train I hope you have a good day

I have five houses in Aspen and own a shelter for abused and neglected guns

when my phone update tells me it's a new android and OneUI version
