Starting with some cute animals reenacting Munch's The Scream.
It's actually a good occasion to maybe fix a misunderstanding that's been hindering you for so many years. In The Scream, the person represented is not the one who screams. They're the one hearing the scream and being terrified by it. Look at their facial expression, look at the hands on the sides of the heads.
@BeAware@social.beaware.live Why don't you just migrate your account? Create the new account first, boost the unfinished conversations so you can continue them with the new account, and then migrate? Also you can have a solo instance that is hosted somewhere if you can't deal with the technical aspects. That's what I'm doing with my Mastodon account. I advise SpaceHost or MastoHost.
Re the previous post, if you don't know this is Kewpie Tarako.
Kewpie is a brand of mayonnaise in Japan, the mascot is a little doll. A few years ago (well, maybe 20 years ago) they had an insane series of commercials for tarako sauce (spicy fish eggs, basically)
Be warned, you may lose some sanity watching this video, and no matter what, the song will be stuck in your head for weeks.
It's not a surprise considering their understanding of the whole thing. I'm sure they're part of the people who think that "Fediverse" is just a fancy word for "Mastodon."
@BeAware@social.beaware.live They come with instructions. Sets this size are pretty complex (and pretty pricey, that was my Christmas present to myself)
Interestingly, I never was a fan as a kid, but I'm obsessed as the adult (although my less these days for financial - they became a luxury product in Japan recently, in parts because of the weak yen - and space reasons)
@BeAware@social.beaware.live I'm afraid the Mastodon Taliban (I don't call them the Fediverse Taliban, most of them are not even aware of the Fediverse beyond Mastodon) don't want the Fediverse to grow.
They think they are in their private pure safe space and anyone not part of their clique willl spoil it. The rest of Fediverse users are barely toleratedm but they don't want the "normies" (what a despicable term) to come.
Of course, their premise, that they're in a private space is wrong, but they're not aware of it and they will become violent if you point it out to them.
@BeAware@social.beaware.live Bridgy Fed was supposed to be opt-out, that's how it was supposed to work. (But the Mastodon Taliban decided differently)
Being opt-in m, it just can't be widely adopted. Now, hope resides in the fact that it has an official structure, and I don't know how reliable this is, but they could be in talks to become opt-out on Bluesky's side.
