The biggest issue is normies are stupid. That’s basically the gist.

Before algorithms we all used hashtags. Hashtags were very important to Twitter in the before times. That’s how you find topics on mastodon. I have columns set with specific hashtag sets so I can quickly glance at toots about horror movies, birds, retrogaming, etc…

You can also follow hashtags directly in your home feed just like Twitter topics.

It’s really not a difficult thing at all, but people are so addicted to Twitter they always give a halfassed attempt at switching before throwing up their hands.

I’m not sure if you’ve tried this PWA called Wefwef but it feels like a fully featured Apollo client for Lemmy already. You just go to the site and add it to your home screen. No beta to sign up for. No TestFlight link. Just add the PWA.

It’s good. It’s really really good.

Screw YouTube and Google. They aren’t getting a dime from me.

My mistake. The internet has programmed me to take any reply in context of lgbt to be with hostile intent. ❤️

It’s a mastodon instance. Calm down.

I edited the typo in the post but edits suck on federated social media and don’t update on all instances. This is like the 5th I’ve seen this comment.

Leave the google ecosystem. Embrace alternatives like Proton.

Sure, the very first iPhone released today, but does anyone remember the first Android smartphone?

In October of 1998 HTC’s T-Mobile G1, or HTC Dream as it’s known outside the U.S would launch being the first phone with the Android OS. The G1 was priced at $179 — which was pretty affordable even in those days — and featured top-of-the-line specs including a Qualcomm MSM7201A processor, 192MB of RAM, and 256MB of internal storage (expandable up to 16GB). It also stocked a 3.15MP rear camera, and a 1,150mAh battery.
