  • Mastodon and similar are fantastic.

    They don’t even have to be anything complicated to be awesome, just having Mastodon and other microblogging services as a basis for orienting people on the Fediverse is an underappreciated gem we should be thankful for whether you spend most of your time on reddit-likes or twitter-likes here on the Fediverse.

    The format has so much more potential than twitter/x has explored.









  • Na, fuck everyone using autocorrect these days, it makes text conversations so stilted, hard to read and passive aggressive feeling.

    We threw away emotional nuance in texting because of the people who just find it annoying not to text in proper english.

    Slang and abbreviations are expressions of context and familiarity which are necessary for conversation that isn’t purely transactionary in nature.

    annoying nitpick

    There is no progression up a ladder in evolution, not towards sophistication nor complexity.

    Every single species alive on earth comes from a genetic lineage precisely as old and thus “evolved” as we do. Species can shed complexity and capabilities from evolutionary pressures just as much they can gain them.

    I know this is a meme but framings subconciously slip into our ways of thinking like this very easily.
