[08:31:19] We may fight but we never wish death upon one another. [08:39:04] needs more mastodons [08:39:23] or just fediverses in general [08:40:38] So, [08:40:57] What y'all doing today? [08:41:27] uh [08:41:34] Mastodon is an option, but I don't use it. [08:41:40] well tomorrow I’m going on my traditional chinafake hunt [08:41:47] you oughta [08:41:50] it has uh [08:42:04] hold on [08:42:41] Tomorrow I gotta make a short film for a bunch of film school grads. [08:42:52] I'm already about to beat them with a brick. [08:43:22] [1/4] How to test the mentality of a Professional with three simple tricks: [08:43:23] [2/4] "can you do this?" [08:43:23] [3/4] "This is my idea." [08:43:23] [4/4] "I need it done this way."

[08:46:29] Also, why is calling people a "Station wagon" are hilarious? [08:46:47] http://joinmastodon.org [08:46:59] here be their website [08:47:04] What does it do? [08:47:11] Blockchain™️ Social Media? [08:50:58] nah [08:51:21] if anything has a blockchain-esque architecture it’s bluesky [08:51:37] it’s more of [08:51:41] well think email [08:52:28] different email servers can send and receive info from each other, forming a web of email servers [08:53:12] in the same way, mastodon (and compatible platforms) send and receive info, forming a “social web” of interconnected “instances” [08:58:13] I hate the "blockchain" mentioned in anything that is startup. But the "decentralised" terms are also equally overused. [08:58:20] But is it... Good? As a user? [09:00:22] <_arawynn> I use it and I like it. There's a way more constructive/positive atmosphere among the users than on Twitter [09:08:16] Anything is better than whatever the fuck Twitter is. [09:09:51] on the queer fedi side, there's generally at least one drama a week [09:10:01] dunno about the other subcultures though [09:12:56] yeah I mean I don’t get that much drama [09:13:06] what subcultures are you in? [09:13:15] mine is mostly queer with a dash of wiki [09:13:48] as someone who’s been using mastodon and bluesky since about the same time, I wholeheartedly recommend mastodon over bluesky and certainly over Twitter [09:14:14] I really suggest everyone here try it if they haven’t already [09:14:22] I don’t know really [09:14:36] I just follow people on mastodon, I don’t really think that much of it [09:14:53] unrelated, but that moment when you're reading a novel, go "is there a wiki about it?", find one, and want to also read the wiki, but you also don't want to spoil yourself [09:15:09] I don’t even like see it as “subcultures” per se, the whole place is just a big community to me [09:15:19] oh huh [09:15:49] I have seen drama but it’s usually just “two people get into an argument” and then I just distance myself from that and go on with my day [09:16:17] most of the time it’s not even an argument really, just a friendly debate [09:16:51] sometimes someone does something stupid and mean and then everyone decides “yeah that person’s a dick” and we just go on with our whatever [09:17:02] until they like apologize or whatever [09:17:41] 99% of the drama is just random folks on the internet that I don’t know and have never interacted with, so it’s not really that big of a deal [09:17:52] fair, fair [09:18:05] you could go up to me and say “goobert denounced floobing” and I’d be like “ok cool” [09:18:31] When people argue. [09:18:38] I just watch them with huge amusement. [09:18:39] [1/2] anyways I just remembered I have this app on my phone [09:18:40] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1370329110588559462/IMG_7660.png?ex=681f19ef&is=681dc86f&hm=60659dfe3e6064a1704300c07b64ee1630d1874931c0a34ed6fd7cd9f87d1e11& [09:19:04] I don't really use mainstream social media but I'll keep it in mind. [09:19:15] Like, I only use Twitter for the NSFW content. [09:19:16] I did not type that in the app, I opened that up to find it pre-typed [09:19:18] 🤣 [09:19:23] And lols. [09:19:32] "I wonder what the opposition up to today?" [09:19:35] "As per usual." [09:19:40] I mean mastodon isn’t really mainstream social, that’s its whole deal [09:19:53] it’s more 90s geocities homepage energy [09:19:55] Fair. [09:20:05] I'm born in the 2000s so... No nostalgia for me. [09:20:22] The only nostalgia I have is satphone, music player, cassette player. [09:20:26] DVD/VHS players. [09:20:33] ah [09:20:41] early YT then maybe a little bit [09:20:45] or like [09:20:47] old forums [09:20:53] heh [09:20:54] Yup. Early YT and good ol' forumming. [09:21:00] i follow someone who posts smut :p [09:21:00] yeah [09:21:06] it’s that energy [09:21:09] I follow too many people. [09:21:13] Who does that.

Cause I'm a professional marketing advisor. [09:21:57] there’s actual engagement to be had because you’re not fighting some obtuse algorithm [09:21:59] oh neat :3 [09:22:12] "So I know you do smut but I'm paying you corpo money to make me a logo and a sale brochure." [09:22:24] Also me having to explain to the board of directors on the artist I hired: [09:22:31] >Literally just smut. [09:22:45] [1/3] BEHOLD!

[09:22:54] i wish that everyone isn't a prude lol [09:23:13] I mean, the board are usually in their 50-60s. [09:23:19] The guys are okay but the female board members... [09:23:24] They'd lose their shit. [09:23:33] bleh [09:23:36] true [09:23:51] In an old firm I used to be an advisor until the CEO died. [09:24:03] He loved the fact I hired obscure artists and praised me for it.

[09:24:13] Yes. [09:24:16] Did I shown him? Yes. [09:24:30] He was one of the good corpo exec... [09:24:45] The world became shittier without him. The new CEO is just a pure arsehole. [09:24:55] Sole reason why I left that company as their advisory member. [09:25:17] We twinnin'.

[09:30:15] tumblr [09:30:20] I think my old ipod 3 still eorks. [09:30:34] I need to find the charger. [09:30:40] Tumblr still exist??? [09:30:56] YES [09:31:18] counterpoint: tumblr ceo is transphobic [09:31:35] plus there’s http://app.wafrn.net as a federated alternative [09:31:38] or if you prefer [09:31:42] sadly, matt is ... something [09:31:44] yes [09:31:45] http://evil.wafrn.net [09:31:50] i'm surprised that queer people are still on it [09:32:08] yes ... my main place so far, after deleting vk, twitter, reducing insta to just contacts ... [09:32:25] you should try fedi [09:32:28] is it like cohost? [09:32:30] quite nice, similar energy [09:32:35] yeah [09:32:41] folks are calling it cohost 2 :P [09:32:59] I don't really mind any of this information since people are entitled to shit they believe. But I don't use tumblr cause they banned Smut. [09:33:01] 😎 [09:33:15] Imagine banning 90% of your userbase. [09:33:21] Truly the greatest achievement. [09:33:58] you can believe what you want sure, but I’m not gonna respect you or use your services [09:34:02] this is funny because porn bots are still there, in hordes, and real people repost shit until getting reported, and some brave people manage to post smut under read more undetected [09:34:17] so like [09:34:25] and the Fediverse just allows it (with CWs) [09:34:30] if you know how to find/where to look you'll find [09:34:35] so sheezy.art [09:34:38] and bsky [09:35:01] I don't respect people in general, I just tolerate them so I don't mind. [09:35:10] But that's a normal mindset to have. [09:35:17] I respect that. [09:35:31] yes, but decentralized and not funded by crypto bros [09:35:38] I hate crypto bros. [09:35:43] Can we explode them?

[09:36:36] you tell me, I got nothing [09:36:37] [1/2] now go convince hordes of non tech minded people [09:36:37] [2/2] it's already hard to convince them leave twitter [09:36:46] yeah I mean [09:37:10] So you mean 99% of the world's populace? [09:37:14] pick your battles, I try to tell people when I can and once they get the hang of it they like it, it’s just hard to get people to do any new thing [09:37:20] [1/2] I tried masto during tumblr disaster, I'm feeling it [09:37:21] [2/2] I don't like bsky much myself but it works [09:37:21] Plus a lot of people use Twitter for the dramas. [09:37:29] Some people just enjoy the dramas. [09:37:36] And the shit slinging. [09:37:39] And the name calling. [09:37:46] yeah I mean [09:38:02] now please stop pinging me over this lol [09:38:25] I have neither touched Bsky or Mastodon. I'll write it down for "To try within reasonable time frame." [09:38:30] [1/2] neither the founders of bluesky nor tumblr have called someone an “absolute station wagon”, so that’s all the convincing I need [09:38:30] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1370334104947785778/IMG_7659.png?ex=681f1e96&is=681dcd16&hm=4ec94ef5231a5b235586465230c663f2c0cac0a95898045a4a7ece0f2fca7804& [09:38:40] Also Leg.

I don't even know how to update windows. [09:39:33] oh it’s easy [09:39:46] you just follow an account and it says “ok you’re all good” [09:39:57] Oh.
