It would be great to have a list of sites so id know whose links I can just immediately ignore.

If we're talking exactly like star trek I'm 90% on board with it. Yeah, yeah, so I'm a clone now, big whoop.

You wanna know the 10% that really fucking haunt me?! Mother fucking Tuvix. Everyone you know can turn into a Tuvix situation real fast, that's the real nightmare.

Oh, reading that was fun. If Reddit is trying that things must not be going well for them backstage.

Well, yeah, why wouldn't they? It's where everyone else is. Poisoning the well is their whole thing.

I'm not on Europe, I'm in South america, but if I wanted to cancel prime, the only thing I need to do is to go to subscription on the settings and click a button, that's it. So this could be a US only nightmare.

I think Gab completely broke off from the fediverse at this point. not just from being blocked, but also not bothering to keep themselves up to date on their end as well. That being said. I wonder if Meta would be even aware of that, or if they would care if they considered inviting Gab.

But I imagine it's now likely that at least one person suggested inviting them and someone with some common sense shut that down pretty fast.

There's long dead people's very private letters and diaries in museum's and public archives. Really available on the internet now. So that's not even a failing of the internet, if you write something people find interesting, they'll find a way to preserve it.

I'm not sure how they think the fesiverse will be the one to solve that.

Oh, I hope so as well, that sub is absolutely precious. When people talked about nuking their account(which I get it) it was for post like those that I feared for.

It is very interesting, I'm south american in my country in particular, everyone uses 3rd party as well, mostly WhatsApp and Telegram (although they are on the rocks legally right now), no one really natively texts anymore. That's for company automated texts, like Google verification codes and spam.

I love tumblr for lurking, but never really found my footing there for interacting myself, the whole thing of tumblr (and twitter in a way) of having a page and followers and all that always felt a bit intimidating, i guess? I think that's what i like the ost of forums like these or reddit. Just coming up and answering a post on a forum like this feels natural and on tumblr felt so out of pocket for me.

I'm sure that a me problem and i'll figure out , and it'll probably be one those "oh, that looked much harder before" once i do figure it out, i'll just start by talking to myself and see who i find.

Yeah, once Boost is gone for good I won't have any way to go back even if I wanted to. I'll just have to find my pretty pictures somewhere else, l'll suck it up and fix my tumblr accounts, make them look like a real human owns them instead of a bot so people won't block me :p

I'll eventually go poking around kbin too and maybe finally actually use the mastodon accounts I made.

I just checked reddark over 8400 subreddits are down, pretty much all of the big ones are closed down, that's crazy! I only had one reddit brain fart today and caught myself before, so I have no idea how things are there, but I do miss all the nature, castles and sculptures pictures from the stuff I followed.
