I have no strawman. I had a wickerman, but, well, it’s awkward.

Oh.

oh

It’s not that weird, given that they’re both examples of Fediverse software that can (in theory, though not well in practice) interact with each other.

As for Masto being separate instances; I’ve never really had a problem with that. Follow a bunch of people from different servers and you’ll soon begin to federate and link up with other people.

I see folks posting on Mastodon, griping that it’s failing, that it’ll never be as popular as Bluesky and Threads because of X and Y, and I’m like, I’m over there chatting to people all day, having a fine time, following new people, picking up new followers, and generally enjoying it more than I ever really enjoyed Twitter.

I don’t really understand why those folks want it to be more than it is.

“Oh, but there are no journalists!”

Good? I don’t want endless ragebait posted in my feeds. I just wanna be chill, share music recommendations, and enjoy more people interacting with my radio show than ever did on Twitter.

That man has never followed through on a promise in his life.

Only because most of them aren’t allowed guns. A good number are still rapey and racist.

I think you mean Jeb!

90 seconds ago I had never heard of this man, now I discover that he's notable enough that he has a Wikipedia page.

Fuckin’ nuclear power, man, how does that work?

Oh man, I’d love to hear Bill’s views on Fucker.

I wish the EU would pass a law making it so that all devices must be unlocked once they stop receiving software updates. How many perfectly usable devices are forced to fall by the wayside because the last supported OS can't do anything useful. I would love to see a version of Linux running on old iPad hardware.

I couldn't believe how long I could get out of my 15" M2 Air's battery when playing No Man's Sky. A good five hours of gameplay without needing to worry about plugging in. Meanwhile, my previous Intel MacBook struggled to get five hours on standby.
