Why are you using their software?

Youre paying them to arrange to watch you, manipulate you, and take apart your democracy. Then paying for trumps shame.

An American military parade?
How Stalin.

Why are you using their software?

Why? You could stop today. It wouldnt take the whole day.

Trump Bezos Musk Apple MS Google - billionaires are not on your side, funding tyrants, proudly have no sympathy for you.

When I made my Fediverse list, I wasn't too focused on how things looked or read, so long as I got my list out as quickly as possible - Not knowing how fast things may happen in the world.

Things in the world are still getting, worse, that has, unfortunately, not changed, but I had time to finally get around improving the repo:

I just remembered you can follow someone but disable their boosts :cat_wow:

both for new people I follow as well as for ones I already follow, I need to remember that so I can disable them on people who often boost posts that need a CW (or three) but don't :frog_think:

p.s. you can do this for me, too :bugcat_nod: if my boosts aren't to your tastes, it's not just ok but actively good to turn them off :hug_love: (especially since my boost-to-post ratio scales with both my exhaustion and depression :emolga_sweat: )

i tried a bunch of things on the #fedi, and genuinely i think #gotosocial is the best. i wish it had a more direct front-end for me to post from. maybe that's coming. but, genuinely i love it.

it's super light, customizable, it reminds me of the old internet in all of the best ways possible. it's not a bloated mess and it's easy to navigate. it keeps on getting new features and new additions without ever feeling like it's getting heavier or harder to use. i'm not the system administrator of our server, but from what i understand from her, it's been pretty painless to run and manage. it's just great.

every time i check out a profile and i land on a gotosocial instance, it makes me super happy. i love it. this is what i want my little corner of the #fediverse to be like.
