  This is an incredible write up and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

  I’ve used both platforms, and had fun with both. I barely use either for posting though, and more for trying to follow topics I like, as I do on Lemmy.

  Anything to stop ending my Google searches in “reddit”.

  Oh, you’ll know.

  I know all the reasons I should be on Firefox, but I just love Vivaldi so much.

  I’ve been using it for years and have it tuned perfectly for anything I do. It’s feature rich, and fast.

  Occasionally there are apps or even tools in life where you are like holy shit, this is exactly made for how I want to do a task/job.

  My gestures are so ingrained in me, sometimes I catch my hand moving the mouse to perform an action in another unrelated app. My brain notices instantly but can’t stop my hand from trying to do it anyway. It makes me laugh.

  I use Android, so Fedilab was the app I’m using.

  I didn’t want my feed to be an endless stream of news or other languages. So first I joined a smaller server, with a topic I care about.

  Then I followed a few journalists, and followed tags I care about like cycling, my hometown, tech news relevant to me, and TV shows.

  Lastly after I had that base of content… I went looking for people. When someone posts something I like, I check their other posts… do I like those too? If he’s then I look at who they follow. Big accounts usually don’t follow a lot of others. This is endless but really gave me a consistent group of people who I care what they think and say.

  Not easy but worth the time over the course of a week or two.

  Also I watched the #followfriday tag where people lost accounts they follow and why.

  Also, look at the top accounts lists that exist. Threads accounts have millions of followers so it’s a good bet it’ll be good.

  I agree and started putting effort into Mastodon. It took a week or two of filtering and browsing to find users and content but I’ve definitely found a more base of content to interact with that is nice.

  I agree though and Lemmy. I was an engaged redditor who switched 100% to Lemmy and I do not feel quite satisfied with the comments and content.

  I’ll stick around, but I find myself on Mastodon and using Ground News more often.

  Btw I have comments in my history of how frustrated I was about finding content on Mastodon, and suddenly it clicked after I spent a bunch of time on it. Not a raving endorsement but ultimately I do enjoy it.

  Another side note, I was looking for too users to follow and some have 10k followers, cool. Then I find some federated threads accounts with millions and realize how small we are in comparison. I know why, and I understand it, but it’s truth that small user bases have less ideas.

  I understand your point and this poster didn’t excite me either, but Fury road had two famous people in it as well and I consider it iconic.

  It may be just a copy cat movie… Or it may pull a performance from them both that surprises us.

  I honestly just don’t know what to expect from either actor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have dogs and for the last ten years or so, owned indoor sneakers. I do not like slippers or sandals so I buy some running shoes or something, cheap ones, on sale. They last forever because it’s indoor only. I replace them when they get smelly.

  I do not wear shoes that have been outside, in my place.

  Works for me!

  I’m a fan of Dune and this always made me laugh.

  At the end of the day, everything is just atoms moving at different wiggle rates, that’s the technical term. It doesn’t matter what makes them wiggle faster or slower.
