I usually save the frothing for people who I can tell are really interested, but don’t want to join up for some absurd reason. I don’t know why they would lie about their feelings like that, but a bit of shouting and frothing in a corner really gets them agreeable fast. Great technique!

Usually as loudly as possible while wildly gesticulating and showing huge quantities of bloodshot eyeball. Seems effective so far, will continue to report in.

You could substantially de-uglify XP with a different theme, but, damn…that ugly

It’ll get there! It’s a great idea and denizens of the 'verse tend to have a passion for this sort of thing

Yes, you should enjoy it! But it will not get you any invites. Which, incidentally, you should not be asking for in public forums. It’s frowned upon. A lot.

Bandwidth has literally never been a problem on any tracker. BitTorrent made bandwidth concerns obsolete over 20 years ago, as long as files are well-seeded.

You will have to pay your dues like everybody else.

This looks really great. It’s going to need some dedicated book nerds to fill it with content, but those are probably not hard to find around here. I’m in.

Edit: a lot of dedicated book nerds

That’s Xitter’s last dying gasp, for me. I have only accessed it through Nitter for many months now.

BUT MAH FREEDOMS!!!

At least the yokels stuck it to the libs before they had all their extra-depraved porn taken away.

You’re entitled to that opinion, but if I go out right now and murder someone with my vehicle due to deliberately or accidentally getting drunk, I’m probably going to jail. Corporations have demanded that they be treated as people, so…fine. Let’s give them what they want.

This happens with every migration from a large platform. One thing that insulates the fediverse, I think, is that it’s non-commercial nature makes it enshittification-proof. There are a lot of significant problems, but it’s super attractive that some tech-bro dickhead won’t blow up the platform to satisfy shareholders’ insatiable profit-lust.

Reddit is now firmly on the enshittification path, so it’s only a matter of time before another exodus wave.

That’s correct, but a lot of foams and soft plastics are also inherently unstable under normal conditions. Many consumer products have foams or soft rubbery exteriors that will quickly breakdown in a matter of years. These products should just be banned, they just contribute to landfill waste and planned obsolescence.

I agree, and, furthermore, corporate death penalties for this kind of shit need to be an actual thing. Did your actions directly cause disease and death? Yes? Great, we’re dissolving your board, banning them form serving on the board of any publicly traded company for a decade, liquidating company assets, and criminally charging anyone who touched this shit with a 10-foot pole.

Jesus Christ. Theme: tell me you’re an American without telling me you’re an American.

Best healthcare in the…ya know, fuck it, I can’t even sarcastically finish the sentence

Wow, it’s almost as if using a blockchain to do mundane tasks is hideously inefficient and stupid, and is solely the result of tech bros groupthinking onto the latest buzzword driven bandwagon and high-fiving about line go up.

tldr; fuck crypto and fuck blockchains

It’s a little too easy to be mean on the internet. Human nature, I guess, when you can’t see who you’re talking to.

I deleted my previous response as it was a bit dickish. I stand corrected, this is pretty strong evidence.
