Personally I would pass away and die.

Smaller instances won’t have a lot of the issues that the main instance has. I run one at https://dmv.pub. DMV being the DC/Maryland/Virginia region but anyone is welcome to join.

Double my salary, then we’ll talk.

We use it liberally but we are encouraged to do so.

Nobara. It’s Fedora modified and tweaked for gaming.

I know.

Ditch iOS if you want more control over your phone.

Florida is a shithole of hatred and bigotry. If we’re still building that border wall we should build it across the Florida border.

LibreTube

Use LibreTube.

EyeBuyDirect and Firmoo.

This is one of the best things about Kbin!

Actually I only pay $20/month for a hosted opensearch server for my Mastodon instance. I think a lot of people on Mastodon are against full text search for ideological reasons.

Yeah if you listen to the albums in order you can hear the growth and the maturation of his voice. Really impressive vocalist.

Vessel from Sleep Token

Dude’s personal life is a mess but you can’t deny his amazing talent. It’s good to see he’s back with a new album. Hopefully he stays clean and healthy.

No hashtags, no full text search. Just an algorithmic feed and a following feed, and you can only search users.

This is what happens when you launch with no content discovery features, so you have to whore yourself out and follow anyone and everyone if you want to get any attention. “Content creators” and clout chasers are the primary customer of this service, so without that I don’t know why they’d want to use it.

CalcKey just rebranded to Firefish. It has a very pretty UI but UX is currently bad as there is no way to globally disable boosts so you will see the same posts in your timeline over and over and over again. Following hashtags is limited to the Antennas feature so you won’t see those posts in your timeline. Until they fix these things it’s unusable for me personally.

Have you tried Akkoma or Pleroma? I run an Akkoma instance at https://shrediverse.net if you want to try it out. You can use the web app or an app like Fedilab on Android.

Have you tried other ways of viewing Mastodon? Different web apps or mobile apps? Like https://elk.zone , https://phanpy.social , https://semaphore.social.

The fediverse has made social networking fun again.
