Airchat seems really promising! Fun to test it today. The concept is based on voice messages, but not like Clubhouse. Far from it, actually.

The posts are actually spoken into as an audio message. Then, the audio message is converted to text. To consume content, you can either read or listen through the feed.

I love it. It's a bit unusual to speak messages among people, but at the same time, I just think of it as a kind of phone call.

Maybe you can mansplain to us why you would do that
@kristian @fediversenews @socialmedianews

@kristian @fediversenews @socialmedianews Why not. But I am going to disable it on my instance.

@curtisysmith @atomicpoet @socialmedianews What's a good Windows-based Usenet reader that's *not* for downloading binaries?

@curtisysmith @atomicpoet @socialmedianews I'll give them a look! I'm using Newshosting right now.

@angiebaby Easynews. I think it’s $48 annually, but it’s been on auto renewal for years and might have changed without me realizing it @atomicpoet @socialmedianews

@curtisysmith @atomicpoet @socialmedianews $50 annually? Which service do you use? I am still paying monthly.

@atomicpoet @socialmedianews for me it was spam that killed it. Haven't read the article though. Will now.

@atomicpoet I still pay $50 a year for server access to the binaries.mp3 groups. @socialmedianews

That was not sarcasm, I appreciate it. Thanks.

@nahga @socialmedianews @mpjgregoire @atomicpoet Yeah, I reread it and it wasn't my best work.

@raddude12@mstdn.social @mpjgregoire@cosocial.ca @socialmedianews@venera.social @atomicpoet@firefish.social
Thanks for the clarity.

@mpjgregoire @nahga @socialmedianews @atomicpoet The difference between block & mute on Twitter is that the shitbags can still see your tweets and retweet them so they can sic their psycho followers on you.

@nahga
My understanding is that if you mute someone, you don't see any of his posts; if you block someone, you don't see his posts and also he doesn't see yours.

Maybe it works the same way on Mastodon.

@mpjgregoire@cosocial.ca @socialmedianews@venera.social @atomicpoet@firefish.social
Does that imply that the two served the same function, except I guess when blocked you get a message saying you are blocked. Or something of the like? I don't really use the platform to be honest.

@nahga @socialmedianews @atomicpoet
They're keeping mute, as I understand it.

@atomicpoet@firefish.social @socialmedianews@venera.social
Everyone start sending messages to elon, if he can't block them....
