@BigDanishGuy I don't do that. That'd be quite annoying considering I have almost 1200 follow relationships!
I simply reply to their "Hi Mastodon" posts with a welcome and suggest they do an introduction post if their post doesn't include info about them. Then I usually follow them because I enjoy helping new people navigate this place.
It can be very confusing if you're not tech savvy.
@SrRochardBunson Yep...I lived on the lake. That was easily the worst 2 years of my life and I'll never go back to that place.
It's a beautiful place that only exists cause of racism and hatred.
A lot of people don't believe in spirits or vibes, but I definitely feel that something there makes people vile, disgusting people.
The reason I left is cause I was kicked out of my house and not allowed to return and get my stuff. Stole $4k+ of my stuff and severed numerous friendships.
Gross place.
@mynameistillian The fucking worst. I know people from back home in Cyprus who actively supported anti-apartheid movements in South Africa, who've supported Muslim refugees from our neighbouring countries, all that shit.
And as SOON as anything involving Roma especially, bit also most other travellers, the slurs and stereotypes crash all over the place.
It's not even QUESTIONED.
I decided to watch the #skz debut performance (UNVEIL: I am NOT)
The songs and performances are good of course.
But eesh the production design is a mess. Shlumpy black outfits, a dark stage, lighting so 'moody' that you can barely see the performances, except when the lighting crew waggle lasers or contrasting light beams all over the place.
It's good to set the bar fairly low, I guess. Because then you have lots of scope for improvement.
Maybe this experience helped them put together a better team and get more opinionated about what their stages should look like??
Anyway I am dropping the link to the debut performance, but I cannot honestly recommend it.

@massonpj @ow2 Most #OpenSource software is produced by software engineers and enthusiasts in their spare time as an act of curiosity, generosity, or social conscience: a contribution to making the world a (slightly) better place.
It is neither 'product' nor 'by-product' but conscious #gift -- and this is a good thing.
Viewing open source as something produced primarily by industry and academia is not merely wrong: it's missing the point entirely.
@liztai What annoyed me was the disdainful attitude that "You are stupid wasting time creating your own thing. You should just copy someone else." Forgetting that someone has to put the time and effort into creating it in the first place.
It's very disheartening.
