@kissane I really think the whole instance thing is needlessly stressful. Masto makes a big deal about it, but honestly it doesn’t really matter. You can follow people across instances just fine. The only thing that matters from a new user perspective is number of characters per toot and bespoke emojis.

Instance picking felt like I had define my identity by one thing. Then it turned out, it doesnt seem to matter, which is exactly what you’d wonder if the instance was well run

@Tekk @kissane same way you find them anywhere else. Look at who gets boosted and people you know and who they follow. My experience is that you need only one or two seeds to create a decent follow list.

I say that as someone that managed to import a partial list from Twitter before it was shut down, but honestly I try not to look back, and instead find all new people.

@thomasfuchs I never worried about y2k. That was at most a few banks doing something stupid, that all but the most automaton employee would fix/ignore immediately.

Y2k38 is very worrisome though.

Jesus fucking christ. This is profoundly offensive. My parents never treated me like this, and absolutely will not raise a child to think the panopticon is good

@micahflee Has anyone made the argument that legalization will significantly cut into asset forfeiture revenues, and thus cause the unthinkable, budget cuts for law enforcement, or increases taxes?

@nova This place a has a chill vibe, and I love the local feed. Masto architecture does make me curious about other local feeds on instances dedicated to other interests though.

The vibe on the bird site has definitely shifted.
