@dansup is the algorithm any good?

Actually, it's the third try. Once, I tried my own instance in September 2018 for maybe a day.

Then I was on a Mastodon server from 2022-08-25 to 2022-09-04.

Third (and hopefully final) try since 2022-09-29 here.

@Gargron this picture has a strange vibe. Maybe the hairstyles.

@dansup I was a bit disappointed to see that popular users are including the ones on threads.

People are talking about a TV show and it sounds interesting.

You look up the streaming service. Damn, you aren't subscribed to this service. None of the ones you are already subscribed to has the show, but you really want to watch it.

So you subscribe to a new service, provide your email address and your payment information.

Sounds easy. Millions of people do this every day.

But yet, people complain about the #Mastodon onboarding.

@stephen be aware that Canada has a different voltage from Europe. So if something returns from repairs in Canada, it could be that it becomes a smoking machine if you don’t check the voltage of the power supply.

It was in the 1990s and I’m still a bit traumatized.

@feditips except from countries that frown upon nationalism and have a difficult relation with flags.
