Gamers are pretty stupid though

So the legislative, executive, and the judicial is in cahoots. The Constitution is dead, and there’s no longer any moral or legal basis for the states to remain in the union

I think a lot of companies will see her name in a google search, think “risk” and disqualify her

WHO ARE YOU I AM FROM ANCIENT GREECE

lol there’s already a fix: run start ms-cxh:localonly from a CMD line in the installer

Its been documented the return per user on reddit is the lowest of all the social media sites. Nobody will run ads there.

/r/mariokart is gonna fucking implode

This is a myth. We’re out of addresses and now most DHCP rules are locked.

I think I linked to it before here months ago but Reddit won’t let mods go dark without prior authorization. The mods basically gave up any means of meaningful protest outside of leaving by capitulating during the API revolt.

Community oriented websites have no growth potential once you’ve mined the community.

Of course Reddit is just doing a lot of things to sink community engagement so this is just par the course.

Any time I hear someone say they are “free speech” I am going to pause because what it means is: “My speech > your speech”

True free speech means you know when you’re wrong and when you need to change, or as I like to call it: EMPATHY

If they didn’t make you put a ring on it, you’re not an engineer. Simple as.

I was impacted by the closing of mastodon.lol and I never recovered either my follow count, or frankly my interest and engagement in the platform since. I’m not alone, either. The ‘migration’ behavior was half baked at best, giving me what equates to a 301, not much else. There’s a lot of work to be done here.

I am the most active on Threads for my brand account, and my personal account on Mastodon is a distant second. I know the people here are gonna throw shoes at me, but my activity is on Threads because that’s clearly where the numbers are for my field and the market outside of the total loss that is Xitter.

Mastodon is probably not going to be any bigger than it is now. But you can self host and dictate your fate. In a time of protocols, not products, existing is a great place to be in. Make your own fate.

The decision was made the moment Bluesky chose to deliberately be incompatible with ActivityPub. They want the AT protocol to exist in their own domain because they know the moment they put the screws to monetize, users will flock to an instance where they don’t.
