How can I get this motherfucker to stop showing up in my feeds? I have him and all his subs blocked, and he still wriggles into my life.

The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles…

Considering how easy it is to set up a screen reader or to set an overriding font on most browsers, this seems like an exercise in futility. That said, something like mssystem ought to do it – standardized, block-style typeface, with little to differentiate the individual letters.

Well, it depends on your instance. Some of them aren’t popular, and some of them don’t allow downvotes at all. But, over here, it’s apparently hip to just click into a profile and downvote everything they’ve posted because they said something you disagree with. I won’t name names, because that’d be just as bad, but you can look through my profile if you’re really interested.

Typically, yes, but the brigaders have found their way here, so don’t expect it to last long.

I can’t imagine why. As much as I love the fediverse and what it stands for, it’s barely a blip on anyone’s radar at this point.

At some point, maybe. Back when I was running my own Mastodon instance, things were pretty much in this same state, but lots of other things have improved.

I mean, in Russia, anything is possible, but in any country that respects the rule of law, you’re a citizen if you pay taxes.

Name checks out.

Aww… what happened to his legs?

Edit: Clearly @Hellsadvocate appreciates crippled kittens.

Pretty much just this. Well, and LinkedIn, but I don’t post personal stuff over there. I moved from Facebook to Reddit about eight or nine years ago, and with Reddit circling the drain, am currently rudderless. Tried this Mastodon thing when it first got popular a few years ago and had no good experiences with it; this time around seems to be different with all the fresh blood. Just hope it keeps on keepin’ on .

I’ve been all about these things since we first started talking about them, but whatever that is is bullshit. It doesn’t have nearly enough connection points, and the ones it does have are secured by velcro. If the workers are feeling anything, and that’s a big “if,” then it’s purely placebo.

Edit: Clearly @Hellsadvocate thinks tricking folks is the way of the future.

If I had to take a guess, its probably from folks running over it and breaking it off.

If I’m doing a drive-by of Reddit, I might nab a few stories, but for the most part I don’t even load it anymore.

You can sue over anything, sure, but if you’re really considering it, you’re better off waiting for HR to finish its investigation. If it comes out in your favor, you can use that to bolster your position; if it doesn’t, then you may want to rethink filing. Let somebody else’s money do your litmus test.

Popular speech doesn’t require defense.

Great way to go blind. Maybe that’s what happened to Martok?

No need to hide in a cave, bro, but screenshots-of-screenshots, at least as far as I’ve seen lately, are already a part of “the culture.” There’s no winning this war; you can only hope to survive it.

I mean, my memory of the show is pretty fuzzy at this range, but, yeah, I don’t remember any Romero film going that far. Not that I’m complaining, mind you; I get to experience it like it’s new, apparently.

Wow. I had to look that scene up. I must have watched the censored version or something, because I definitely don’t remember that.
