That MST3K-style tactic is the reason why I’m not allowed to watch movies with my family anymore. (though I wasn’t stoned)

Isn’t that called a “cobbler”? Or do you only do soles and not the entire shoe?

What other server is there?
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 4 days ago:
I wasn’t talking about that, I was talking about your objection of “the requirement to select anything in the first place” with regards to a Mastodon server.
With that in mind, if email were to be released today, it’d be deemed “too hard for people to understand” because you have to choose what email provider you’re going to use. Are you going with AOL, or are you going to roll up your own? With some you even have to hand over money before you get access. Just too difficult!
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 4 days ago:
How did you decide which email provider you were going to go with? Did you set up your own server? Or perhaps gain access to an address through a community? Or did you go with a normies server like Outlook, Hotmail, Gmail?
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 4 days ago:
I use masto for myself, not for likes. I use it to get SilentSunday and Mosstodon photos and to goof around with people I meet in the online space.
Sure it’d be nice to see a like or a response to a shit post, but for that you need to be followed by people who share your sensibilities, as there’s no algorithm boosting your stuff into other people’s timelines. Unless you use a relevant hashtag that’s being followed by others.

But then it’s not federated. It’s all on one giant monolith of a server. Perhaps the traffic is shared between machines, but that’s not the same thing as federated.

Yes, and we need much more like that if we want this platform to be sucessful as a whole. Normies want to join social medias, not clubs.
Why? There’s plenty of general servers aimed at normies that don’t require you to write an essay about yourself.
Let those specialty servers be specialty servers. Some only want artists, some only want neurodivergent people, some only want trans people on their platform. That’s their right! They get to decide who comes on their platform and who doesn’t. It’s not up to you to decide that for them. You need to understand that the people hosting these servers are not gazillionaires that do this out of the kindness of their hearts, they want to foster a certain atmosphere and a certain community on their server, and they do their best to keep disruptive people out. And one way of doing that is by limiting who gets on.
So instead of desperately trying to join blahaj_artists.social, why not join normies.social like mastodon.social or mstdn.social, or masto.ai or mastodon.coffee or any of the other ‘normie’ mastodon servers.
Go here, select “Sign up process: instant” and choose any of the servers on that page, and you’ll get in, without having to write an essay about yourself.

I live alone, I too talk to the imaginary camera to keep sane. At least I think it keeps me sane.
Thanks for the bits, bananaman66764.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 4 days ago:
You don’t have to do that when you sign up for mstdn.social, and it’s also not a requirement for mastodon.social And there are more instances where you don’t have to apply like that.
But when it’s asked that you apply to the server, it’s usually to ease the load of moderation, to see if you would fit the vibe of that instance. And/or to protect the more vulnerable people on that particular instance.

Couple of years ago, I walked through a forest somewhere in the middle of The Netherlands, called the Waterloopbos, and I came across a blocked off area with quicksand warnings.
I kinda wish I had lost my shoes there, because the shoes I was wearing weren’t good for forest walking.
That was the first and so far only time I had seen quicksand in my 44 years of existing on this blue marble.

Nah it shows real tenacity and grit with a real selftied tie, as a weevil doesn’t have opposable thumbs. So it takes real skill to tie the tie.

Hatred for anything not Republican by MAGA and their brainwashed followers. That’s what’s keeping Donald T. still in the race.
- Comment on That's a big burger 2 months ago:
You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into. “They’re hiding the true shape of the ball, because they don’t like god” isn’t a reasonable argument. And yet for a lot of Flat Earthers, that’s exactly the reason why a lot of them believe the earth is flat “cuz muh bibble sez so”.
Believe you me, I have tried the socratic method, but they’re much more comfortable with the lies from Eric Dubay’s monotonous drone zone, Flatzoid’s Perspective’s selective editing, Nathan Oakley’s daily shouting hour than any real facts. We live in a post fact world, it’s all “a matter of opinion” to these flat earth weirdos.

- Comment on That's a big burger 2 months ago:
Flerfs can’t understand scale, they can’t understand 3d space, they can’t understand distances, they can’t understand pretty much anything. The world is scary for them, they deserve our pity AND scorn. If only they watched Sesame street, then they’d know the difference between smaller and far away.
- Comment on How come it seems that there are little to no serial killers who are women in the modern age? Are they not caught or is it just the men that make the news? 2 months ago:
(semi-unserious answer) women listen to a lot of true crime podcasts, thus know what pitfalls caused other serial killers to be discovered and know how to avoid that.
