@pixelfed When Facebook started it was not about "connecting people", it was about rating girls' fuckability on campus.
Zuck has always been a misogynistic arsehole.

@pixelfed Bravo!

@foone What would the advantage be?

@indigoparadox @foone I am a long term fan of Foone's, even though I don't always understand everything they are up to!

@arstechnica We don't need SUVs, we need small, light, SLOW vehicles, that don't kill people, and don't shed so much particulate from the tires.

@nixCraft <snorts>

@Gargron 👍🏽 👍🏽 😊

⌚ I spent an hour on BSky this afternoon. It was just awful. 🤮

I'm going to keep the acct, but only in case I need to communicate with someone who is there and not here.

There's something so noisy and, I don't know - "teenagery"? about that place.

Very grateful for Mastodon and all you lovely people that are here.

and it's so very on the nose of the issue:

@nixCraft Oh no! How did I miss that OPERA isn't Norwegian anymore? 😟

@wonderofscience Looks remarkably like woodlice!

@arstechnica Stop promoting SUVs. They kill pedestrians (especially children) and are too heavy, causing more harmful particulate matter from road surface abrasion.

When I signed up online, this box was ticked. I hated the "advanced" UI, so after a few days I went and unticked it. Not everyone gets that far, they just leave instead.

@feditips @canadiancivil

Masto wouldn't scare off so many people, if the simpler online interface was the default, instead of the "advanced" one.

Wouldn't it make more sense to let a new user start with the twitter/bluesky-similar layout, and then let them switch to the column version later, if they want?

Most people I know who immediately abandoned Masto didn't have the time or patience to discover you could switch it off in preferences. They just took one look and bailed.

@arstechnica Pavement parking, like a right bastard! 😠

@Mastodon Does it have translation support? It drives me crazy that Tusky doesn't have that ability.

@arstechnica Aye, they are just perfect for doing 20mph in the cities #amiright
