I’m from a very Italian neighborhood. Angelo is a common name, if you’re feeling a bit ethnic and don’t want to stray too far from what you grew up with. Plus you’d get to learn all the hand gestures.

Wow that whole website is like one big shitpost – but I don’t think intentionally.

I feel like we can do better than this.

Maybe a browser plugin/extension would be better in your case then? That would actually probably be not too hard to vibe-code if you’re so inclined.

I’ve seen this ask come up a number of times now – and to a certain extent, the Piefed and Mbin frontends do kinda to it already in that you can have your microblog and threaded content in the same UI. But before taking that further with pixelfed/loops integration as well, ask whether it’s really a good idea. There’s a reason why Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit are separate sites, and why none have tried to implement the UI or feature set of the other. I would make the case that the fediverse would really benefit from a portable user IDs auth system that could be used between different services or instances (which Nostr kinda does, and there are other zero-knowledge proof-based services that could be integrated), but with regard to content display and just interacting with content, having 3 different tabs open with the 3 different kinds of content/conversations just makes a lot more sense to me.

I wonder, do instance admins or community mods ever have (virtual) meetups? That might be therapeutic and could possibly expose problems before they become too big to solve.

Are you advocating going back to reddit?

truly you are doing the Lord’s work

At least you tried.

Damn I’ve only tried 1 out of 6, no wonder I feel terrible.

Don’t be fooled. Age is just a convenient lever. Identity verification is coming for the whole Internet, and will be advertisers’ and fascists’ collective wet dreams.

Man these political compass charts get weirder and weirder.

Fun fact: the protein-digesting enzyme bromelain is found in pineapples. So in some sense, while you’re eating the pineapple, the pineapple is eating you . Do with that what you will.
