It was difficult, haha. If I could, I would have walked out with every single one of the cats. She just spoke to me. Literally. When I walked into the cat room, she took one look at me and wouldn’t stop meowing. I spoke to the front desk about adopting her and found out that she was a stray that was caught the day prior and that I’d have to wait two weeks until she could come home with me. I decided to wait and came back two weeks later to take her to her forever home.

Would you mind elaborating on PieFed vote quotas? I haven’t heard about that.

It literally is called the Threadiverse. The terminology predates Threads as a platform.

I was specifically talking about the subsection of the Fediverse that structures itself similarly to reddit (e.g. Lemmy, piefed, mbim, etc).

Fuck Prabhakar Raghavan and fuck the capital class whose search for eternal growth has completely wrecked every part of our society.

Yes, that’s what the people involved at all levels in this administration have done.

When I was 10 or 11 I once stole a shitload of blank cds from the church my father was the pastor of so that I could burn pirated audiobooks to listen to at night.

Me too! I got her after the bank I was working at got robbed. I had just moved out on my own and the house was way too quiet. I’ve had her for almost three years now and I’m convinced adopting her was the best decision I’ve made in that time period 💜

Callie the calico kitty :)

I was really surprised when I saw that flairs weren’t widely adopted yet. They’re super useful for community filtering.

ATProto is what Bluesky is built on, right? How does it differ from Activity Pub? Are there difficulties with bridging the two protocols?

Would you mind elaborating on the Peertube instance? How does it integrate/what benefits are there to integration?

Heck yeah! I’ve been trying to actively make the switch too. Getting away from big-tech algorithmically-driven social media platforms feels very nice. I do miss a few of the communities I was a part of that don’t have a counterpart here, but I’ll get used to it eventually.

The community here is much nicer than reddit currently is. It feels more tight-knit. Almost like reddit was twelve or thirteen years ago.
