A couple of days I decided to try out Moshidon so I turned off notifications in Megalodon so I wouldn't get duplicates and now I'm not getting notifications at all 💀 (idk which app is at fault or if it's a Mastodon thing or what. Moshidon is...almost exactly the same as Megalodon? I was intrigued by the idea of being about to follow the Local tls from different instances but then haven't really used that feature much)
@seanbala the big rush to koo happened when Musk took over Twitter and everyone thought it might go down imminently, but I have a feeling most people just made a few ass jokes and then abandoned their accounts
@seanbala honestly I have no idea. Twitter was never really that big in Brazil either--maybe everyone who's there now will just get a VPN and keep using it, even though that's technically banned too 🤷♀️
I just hope Twitter getting shut down in Brazil doesn't result in a bunch of Brazilians migrating to Koo again 🙃
(Koo sounds like "cu"/"ass" in Portuguese and people went there purely for the memes but then it turned out it was basically the Indian version of Gab 💀)
@seanbala that makes sense except...if a kid gets lice then doesn't the whole family get lice??? People are just going to live with lice forever now?!!?!
Wait the reason US people are meming about lice is that the CDC said kids with lice should still go to school??? Like, it wasn't some random district in some hick town, it was the actual fucking CDC?!??!;
@PamelaBarroway@Stybba3019 Rashida Tlaib is Palestinian. Presumably her sister is, too. If she protested or "heckled" or whatever after meeting with Harris she probably had a pretty fucking good reason. This isn't about which little clique of politicians is the cool crowd in DC, this is about a genocide
@rameshgupta@Pineywoozle@PamelaBarroway@Stybba3019 we're not talking about Rashida Tlaib, we're talking about her sister! And "America First" is a literal fascist slogan (going back LONG before Trump adopted it).
I'm not sure if it's a #mastodon thing or a @megalodon app thing but please y'all have to start grouping similar notifications! When a bunch of people boost the same post within a short time I don't need a separate alert for every single one 😭💀
This is fascinating. There were trans and intersex athletes competing at the Olympics in the early years, but everything changed during/after the 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany, when the Nazis decided to go after Zdeněk Koubek, a trans man competing for Czechoslovakia https://www.vox.com/culture/364032/trans-athletes-olympics-2024
@jasonkoebler whenever I mention that I'm worried that this kind of thing has destroyed my chances of ever getting published as an actual human writer, people are like "wow, you don't think you can write better than AI?" Like...I can, but that doesn't matter anymore apparently 💀
