@BeAware I had to mute someone last time I saw them talk about "checking out some websites" instead of engaging in non-linear, user-directed traversal of hyperlinked digital resources via a packet-switched, globally distributed network using a client-server model, wherein a user-agent retrieves, interprets, and renders hypertext markup language documents and augmenting them with asynchronous data requests, scripting languages, and multimedia content... Don't they know how any of this shit works?! 😂

@BeAware I would rather post on a platform with even just 1 other user as long as it meant I'm not on the platform run by insane billionaires. I don't think I'm missing out on much if others aren't aligned with that thought.

@stux Hey if you read this and have time to - is there a line (or lines) in particular from the new policy that stood out to you? It may help smaller instances like myself make a call on what to do. Thanks!
Edit: I see your earlier post with Marks video - this makes sense. I didn't realize the meta changes making news obviously cause issues with threads and fedi.

@BeAware @raindrops_and_roses we gave up on Netflix buffering constantly

Happy #Arcane day to all those who celebrate. It's a good show so like you should celebrate 😂

@SnerkRabbledauber @BeAware that describes a person who has made their mind up about AI but wants to actively seek out and engage in anti-AI conversation. It would be like if I decided I really don't like tea. How can I go to tea parties to talk about my views on tea, without being exposed to any tea. Maybe I should just seperate myself from tea since some people really like tea and I clearly despise it?

@BeAware we're living in a time where it couldn't be easier to not see things you don't want to see 😂 some people like to be problematic instead of cultivating a social media they enjoy using and interacting with. It baffles the mins 😩

@BeAware @tom I would like to think this is sorta a "if a tree falls in a forest" kinda thing or maybe just a relay not doing a good job. If you have a follower from that instance it absolutely should not happen...

@BeAware Fredy the fedi bear says: "only you can prevent public posts!"

@BeAware Hope it goes well! 👍

@BeAware yeah i actually did try to welcome them and they asked if they could DM and i was like uhh like why bruh lol seemed kinda sketch idk but ya otherwise same.

@BeAware I've had some weird follows lately. Like people with me as their only follow, zero post accounts, or both lol

@BeAware oh that's huge

@BeAware Maybe because something like this: https://poorlydrawnlines.com/comic/mad/
I reference this comic so much it hurts

@BeAware LMAO yeah like don't post a rhetorical question just to then fight off post engagement😂

@BeAware that's funny I missed this when you originally posted it but I see his reels ALL the time on instagram too and I finally followed him on Twitch. I thought I would look for him on fedi and that brought me to your post 😂

@BeAware
Your wish is my cmd
C:> The Mouse Trap (2024)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30743549

There is a Mickey mouse horror film now because... Well, they legally can now 🤷

@BeAware Probably true true true. Maybe that's the angle. I go into it knowing it will be dog shit but just make fun of it as a failed pathetic attempt to be even half as good as the BL games 😂 idk

@BeAware Hmm see I too have a deep love for BL but I do want to watch it.
Maybe what I'll do is rewire my brain to just pretend its a totally unrelated movie. Like "Any actual names or likenesses of borderlands characters are used in a fictitious and parodic manner" will just replay in my head the whole movie
