As I said in the post title, I bought this as a self reward. It was between this and a Waterman Carene L’Essence de Bleu, but I ultimately settled on this. Haven’t even inked it yet - wish me luck!!
Twitter’s Circles function much the same as Google+’s did. It was a really great feature. Seems like it’s on Twitter’s chopping block now.
This is exactly it
Hachyderm is my instance. It’s heavily influenced by techy people, but there’s a bit of everything there. Strong culture of safety for social justice - some of the most followed LGBTQ and Black accounts post from there. I’d highly recommend.
Others I’ve enjoyed browsing are indieweb.social and toot.community
Going to show my privilege here and say Superhuman. It’s expensive as hell, but if you’re like me and email is a major part of your job, it may be worth it. I can get the gmail web client to do about 90% of what Superhuman does, though. So for an economical version, perhaps look up a guide on how to setup and use the Gmail web interface with nothing but a keyboard. In my experience, taking the time to learn how to navigate your inbox in this way pays dividends down the road. Good luck!
There’s a lot of good info already in here. I’d also recommend checking out the trending post tab, that’s where you’ll typically find some of the posters with the highest number of followers (“hubs” in the Mastodon zeitgeist). I’d also recommend that you follow Lisa Melton https://mastodon.social/@lisamelton. She boosts a ton of stuff and almost single-handedly acts like Mastodon’s algorithm. Her boosts will give you lots of cool accounts to follow, and at the very least will populate your timeline.
There is nothing Marxist that is or will ever come of the current Russian regime whether by design or byproduct. I still can’t believe this vein of thinking exists in modern communist thought. No safe space for any propaganda that supports the fascist Putin or his genocidal actions in Ukraine. Fuck everything about this.
Just did, thanks for the recommendation!
Yep, totally understand this. I’m glad there are other devs ready to pick up the baton.
If he’s referring to Lemmy.world he’s wrong. Lemmy.world has a different admin who’s not connected at all to Lemmy.ml admins afaik
I had a good group of friends use it and that made it really fun. I remember the product itself being great initially. It just never gained any users.
