Yes. And added a tag. It makes such posts as these very…weird, to say the least.

You should’ve voted then.

I’m just saying, that they are really, really inefficient as RSS for everyday people since the are more posts you didn’t subscribe to, than the ones you subscribed to.

Hence saying that it’s what people use them for IMO , genedally, is incorrect.

When you say “people…”, assume that most use the native app.

I think people are tired of the 140 character type social networks, the novelty has simply worn off. It’s either self-promotion or “I had two eggs for breakfast lol” type of posts.

People who came to Mastodon, posted “Hello world!” and didn’t bother to set a profile picture or add a description will always complain about the lack of discoverability, or the place being boring.

You literally have to put in work to set up your feed, follow hashtags, people and post yourself for it to be a network and not just a feed of things. And I think people struggle with this concept a lot.

I do understand that it’s not for everyone. But it’s not a problem with Mastodon, it’s just a natural filter IMO. “You have to put at least this much effort to integrate”. Low-effort things are usually just rage-bait.

Both Intsagram and Twitter will fill your feed with random people / brands you don’t follow.

It’s all about the dopamine hit.

Sure, blue checkmark.

Mastodon is the only place where I don’t get triggered, and instead get inspired and/or informed.

Good moderation, no bots, no fascists, no “famous, because stupid” idiots. Just a nice bunch of people sharing cool, interesting shit. I absolutely love it.

Uff, imagine getting news from a rightwing nutjob owned social network. Big yikes.

I don’t understand. Mastodon has implemented global search a while ago. If I type “Steve” in the search bar, I get Steves from all sorts of places, not only from my instance.

Or are you talking about some sort of “contacts scan” implementation?

Hilariously, due to the teardrop shape, cars like this would be more aerodynamic if the shell was reversed.

Car companies do not want to innovate, because aerodynamic cars are “lame”, “soy”, etc.

People seem to have a low tolerance for what is considered weird when it comes to cars. That’s why most cars look the same. (Likely due to marketing and peer pressure)

Bar Atera, Ariel and a couple of other “unconventional” designs, and a handful of other concept cars. (Fuck the cybercrap, it’s the opposite of innovation)

TL;DR: cars could be way more aerodynamically efficient, but they aren’t, because people are peopleing.

So brave. So enlightened.

The thing is, he looked visibly confused. As if he truly believes that the things he sees on TV are absolute truth.

You think?
Aware.

Youtubers have no morals? What kind of idiotic generalisation is that?

BTW, adblocking is a form piracy, that I’m completely fine with.
