I wanna say I had sonic 2 installed? And it was about as controllable as you’d imagine with the scrollwheel lol.

I’m annoyed with how mastodon works and I don’t think it’s ever going to change, so I might give bluesky a try.

Yeah, the site is mean. The doomerism is also really strong here. I should probably just try to cut out social media entirely. It’s not good for me.

I really enjoy the game, and I play 2 accounts.

People are talking about config issues doing this. When I do a reinstall, I just backup my dotfiles and let them rebuild. I usually don’t have to restore many of them, just for a few apps I know I want the config for.

Groan

Yeah fair points. I will say this implosion of the social media I used to use has pushed me towards doing other things than scrolling on my phone lol, and that is a positive thing.

That’s fair I suppose.

I disagree, I just think some kind of engagement algorithm would be better. I haven’t used bluesky or threads so I can’t speak to them. I’m just saying that back in the day on twitter, I had no problem finding a bunch of very funny and clever posts, and posts were catered to me well. Through both me following people and I assume through the engagement algorithm. I’ve tried adding a bunch of hashtags, but I’m not finding a bunch of hilarious stuff to send to my friends like I did back then on twitter.

Bunch of spam too, because bots use the hashtags, so I’m often scrolling through a bunch of auto-posted stuff. Idk. Maybe I’m using it wrong. I just feel like your average person isn’t going to go through all that crap so they’ll cling to twitter until it dies.

And I’ve tried switching instances around, which is just confusing honestly, and didn’t really help with finding lots of content that I want to see. I used mastodon more when I was able to mirror people I know are funny on twitter to my mastodon feed lol. I want to like it, I just find I’m never tempted to go on it. Can’t figure it out.

Or just use neither, like I’ve ended up doing.

I’ve stopped recommending it. The discovery and trending post mechanisms are either garbage or non-existent, and it’s really hard to get a feed that’s remotely entertaining. Devs also seem ideologically opposed to adding any features like that. It’ll just give normal people who aren’t willing to deal with all this crap a bad taste in their mouth when it comes to the fediverse. I do recommend lemmy to people tho.

That is bizarre lol

That’s fair lol. I can’t understand people who still use it.

Idk, I think my only favorite thing about the whole debacle is that almost literally everyone just ignored musk’s whole name change thing, and still call it twitter and tweets. Because everyone recognizes what a fucking stupid name X is lmfao.

I’d really like it if midwest.social would defed from hexbear. It’s a nice instance, but the comment sections are often a disaster.

I understand just fine, thank you. You’re reading a religious connotation where there is none, and you can’t seem to let that go. You’re hung up on the etymology of the word lmfao.

Lmfao all these edits instead of responding directly. Cope harder, dude.

Laughable that you’d call everyone confidently ignorant while you get downvoted into oblivion. Try some humility. Maybe this rant was misplaced, and you’re wrong for going off with it. There was no religious connotation implied with the original post. You misread. Get over it.

Probably not more expensive than the immense computing power they would need to support something like the method I mentioned. I’m quite sure they’ve done a cost analysis on this lol.

I got drunk a lot and called it “getting into making cocktails”
