I can only assume BlueSky feels more familiar.

Mastodon requires a bit of effort, lacking an algorithm to drive content toward users, so you have to do a bit more yourself.

Sounds about right.

Even after 2016, the Dems haven’t figured out what a bad idea it is to double down on their way of thinking, even in service to self-interest.

There aren’t any ads on Mastodon. :)

You just search hashtags or set up a column so you have a feed giving you everything under a given hashtag, though it may be those communities are so niche there isn’t much on the Mastodon instance you chose. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a specific instance for Buddhism itself, though, given that it’s such a massive world religion.

If *anyone were really worried about the nuclear family and abortion, they would make it so that a family could live on a single income again.

FTFY

You’re comparing apples to oranges.

But that’s okay.

It’s objectively a healthier option. All for it.

Having a parent in charge of programming instead of an algorithm makes a world of difference.

That’s probably fair. There’s an abundance of smug assholery in the world right now. Apologies.

Good.

This is the digital equivalent of making sure the cigarettes and liquor are locked up, because there’s a wealth of evidence that social media is harmful to young people.

If you didn’t want to have to actually parent your own children instead of parking them in front of a screen that’s driving them toward self-hatred and fascism, you shouldn’t have procreated in the first place.

Must be nice to be so rich that you can just be this fucking weird in public.

The whole ‘rescue plane’ bullshit was a nice little cherry on top of this propagandistic shit pie that the Israeli and US Media cooked up.

I think this is the crowd that tried Mastodon and then abandoned it when they realized it required a modicum of effort.

“EDumper” is a great name for a dump truck.

I wouldn’t trust it. We now live in an era where, if you want control of any kind of information, you simply can’t share it digitally in any way.

I added ‘Missouri’ to the title to make clearer. Solid point.

Pretty cool story from my home town. Enjoy.

To each their own. For me it was a neat gift and a joyful experience.

It was the most overwhelming gift I have ever received.

And the thing is, his business partner does similar things for a lot of people. She never lost touch with being a wage earner and her understanding of being a non-wealthy person, and she loves spoiling people because of it. Just awesome.

I think you misread what I wrote.

That’s wonderful. Happy for you!
