now that threads is starting to federate, they sure as fuck aren’t with us

threads.net commemorative cocktail:

  • glass: old fashioned (lowball)
  • pour hard cider from red apples until glass is 3/4ths full
  • top with 1 shot of bourbon
  • smoke glass with cherry wood
  • garnish with sliced lime, or add lime juice to taste
  • drink and meditate on what AOL and then Google did to usenet

Correct. My only ask for moderation for this instance is to keep the scale and tone under control, even if meant me being banned in the course of doing so. Your reasoningand approach is sound.

    thank you! I definitely want this instance to remain small enough to serve our regulars, and focused on a handful of sneering and passion (unsneering?) subs. admining for an ultra-large instance with no focus seems miserable, given how many admins I’ve met who seem to think it’s an unpaid job they hate but can’t quit.

    generally speaking I think our regulars keep a good vibe and provide a good example for any lurkers looking to become regulars. I’m hoping that by keeping our focus narrow we’ll also be able to maintain that vibe and general high level of quality, while keeping this instance utterly inhospitable for bigots of all types.
