Israel too.

I"ve been on Pixelfed for three days and, sadly, it’s pretty underwhelming.

I’m going to give it a few weeks though and build up a feed.

This is my favorite argument against government regulation.

Anything not foolproof definitely isn’t worth doing at all.

I am so, so glad to see that at least one country in the world is willing to tackle this problem.

Also a little depressed that every comment thread about this law boils down to: “It’s hard. Might as well not do it at all,” especially from people who (rightly) think we need to ban guns every time a school gets shot up here in the US, which would be monumentally difficult socially but 100% needs to happen.

Might be time for Ford to get in on 2FA.

Ugh. So glad I don’t use FB. It’s already so enshittified and only getting worse.

Well… my wallet is certainly hurting after the latest $0 price increase on my $0 Mastodon subscription.

(kidding, in fact, I actually donate monthly to my instance.)

My favorite thing about social media is people who argue for no good reason other than to entertain themselves.

NGL, I was choked up in my car when I was lined up for my very first COVID jab.

Honestly thought it was over, and the events since have informed much of my cynicism about our species.

There’s also udm14.com if you want to have cheeky fun with it.

Use udm14.org.

At least one country on earth is starting to get serious about regulating social media. Until there are real financial consequences for this, there won’t be any meaningful change.

Pirate everything.

Admittedly, I don’t know enough about monopolies and antitrust laws to know how much this matters. Can someone ELI5 this and give us more info?

Deleted mine two years ago.

Kinda surprised it took everyone this long, TBH.

There aren’t any ads on Mastodon. :)

You just search hashtags or set up a column so you have a feed giving you everything under a given hashtag, though it may be those communities are so niche there isn’t much on the Mastodon instance you chose. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a specific instance for Buddhism itself, though, given that it’s such a massive world religion.

That’s probably fair. There’s an abundance of smug assholery in the world right now. Apologies.

Must be nice to be so rich that you can just be this fucking weird in public.

I think this is the crowd that tried Mastodon and then abandoned it when they realized it required a modicum of effort.
