@mmasnick It may depend on what you want to talk about. For my part being on a Canadian based Mastodon server has made it fairly easy to connect with people local to me and other Canadians. With federation I can also go looking for other people to talk to without trying to sift a firehose. :)

@mmasnick So far I think Bluesky is doing a great job of being a more user friendly Twitter. As a Twitter iteration though, it feels less like a place for conversation and more for memes, shitposts, and watching various grades of celeb banter. These have their place of course, but they are not a meal.

I do like the idea of user algorithm’s but before that I’d like to see the default feed behaviour vastly improved. Right now it’s frustrating as hell.

@inthehands I love this distinction and I love getting a word for something so obvious I’d never thought of it. I’m reminded of when I heard Utah Phillips distinguish between ‘normal’ and ‘ordinary’

@chris For a job where you provide all your own equipment $20/hr before expenses sounds far too low.

@evan I didn’t answer because I didn’t know who he was, which somewhat argues I should have answered with disagree. :)

Every time I need to figure out Regex again and then successfully use it I feel like I've got away with something. Like I've managed to safely use something unholy. Then I wipe the summoning grid and arcane symbols off the whiteboard and sun comes out again.

I love all my monitors but I feel this deeply.

@evan News this morning is Netanyahu has said they intend to occupy and retain control of all of Gaza.

@evan Why is it wild result?

@JenLucPiquant I’m reminded of Robert Crumb’s “Book of Genesis” causing a bit of a fuss because he drew everything that was written. It’s a very graphic story.
