I noticed Reddit restored a bunch of my comments from years ago, and went to use PowerDeleteSuite to delete them... it didn't find anything to delete, so i tried manually, which appears to work... but refresh the page and they just reappear.

Great.

@Ciaraioch Haven't tried it yet, but I seen someone else mention they were using openvibe.social to see everything in the one place, seems to do crossposts too.

Watching #TaylorVsSerrano, and remembering I don't understand anything about boxing.

They just interviewed Mike Tyson between rounds and included a clip of his arse as he walked off. Yikes.

@gloriouseggroll Weird, can't find you on there.

@padraig I think the fact BSky is centralized is why they were more successful at capturing the twitter crowd.

Their verification is based on proving you own a domain, and I found a verge article from Feb that says they've allowing people to self-host their own account data, but they do seem to be approaching the fediverse with a more threads-like "our silo first" priority.

I think it's because I've been happily here on a quiet Mastodon instance for so long, but Bluesky feels a bit too much like the birdsite to me, and I'm not sure how to feel about it.

@Techaltar I think your last line is squarely on the money, MKBHD has been out of touch from reality for ages though.

Really trying to return to a world where I own the media I'm enjoying, but my #Music collection is now essentially an unearthed time capsule from 2010.

I'm really surprised Bluesky doesn't seem to have support for 2 Factor Auth by an app, only 2FA by email.

uBlock Origin is showing it's blocked 771 things and I've literally just opened the feeds and poked around the settings menu.

It's probably gonna become the new birdsite, but I don't think it's gonna become my main social account at all.

Watching #BlueLock season 2 (I'm starting S02E04 right now) and it feels like they really did just give up on animating half of it - it's like watching a slideshow in places.

Still pretty enjoyable though.

@padraig I went through my :twitter: following list and copied it all into a google sheet, gonna start (non-creepily) figuring out where else I can follow them instead.

A few people I was only able to follow on the birdsite have finally started to move towards Bluesky, but I haven't pulled the trigger on an account there yet.

The people that made :mastodon: accounts don't use them at all. 😢

@padraig Are you planning to delete the account as well, or just the content?

I've scrubbed my account already, but I'm not sure if its better to just sit on the username or leave completely.

Scrubbed all the content off my twitter account and set it private. Still haven't decided if I should delete it or just leave it idle though.

I found an open-source project called Watcharr on GitHub and rolled it out to give it a try.

Doesn't seem to have a very usable dashboard at first glance.

I've just dumped all my Trakt watch history into it and everything shares the same import date, so the sorting is a bit useless at the moment.

The new #Trakt rebranding has me looking into self-hosted alternatives...

@trakt Personally, this feels like a miss to me.

The new icon is a bit too "generic todo list" imo, and the purple everywhere has weird contrast issues that makes everything feel a bit blurry.

#KASSO Episode 3 was pretty cool, nice to see how they redone some of the original downhill course now that they've got that TBS money, and the new "Rail Coaster" course looks like it'll be undefeated for a while!

They have the episode streaming live on their YouTube for the next 24 hours if you want to check it out, I'm gonna be waiting for Episode 4 to stream next week!

#skateboarding #NinjaWarrior

I've caught up and finished #AEWWrestleDream now too!

Really didn't expect such a downer ending. The match just fizzled out and then went full-blown murder/betrayal all over again.

Why did threads even bother pretending to join the #Fediverse? ⁂

If it's opt-out by default, it may as well not exist at this rate.

Every account I want to follow on there seems to have yet to opt-in and I'm grumpy about it.

I've caught up with #AEWRampage, now starting #AEWWrestleDream Zero Hour (with the fast forward button nearby for most of the recaps)

Nice to see Chuckie T on the panel!
