I usually save the frothing for people who I can tell are really interested, but don’t want to join up for some absurd reason. I don’t know why they would lie about their feelings like that, but a bit of shouting and frothing in a corner really gets them agreeable fast. Great technique!

Usually as loudly as possible while wildly gesticulating and showing huge quantities of bloodshot eyeball. Seems effective so far, will continue to report in.

It’ll get there! It’s a great idea and denizens of the 'verse tend to have a passion for this sort of thing

This looks really great. It’s going to need some dedicated book nerds to fill it with content, but those are probably not hard to find around here. I’m in.

Edit: a lot of dedicated book nerds

That’s Xitter’s last dying gasp, for me. I have only accessed it through Nitter for many months now.

BUT MAH FREEDOMS!!!

At least the yokels stuck it to the libs before they had all their extra-depraved porn taken away.

This happens with every migration from a large platform. One thing that insulates the fediverse, I think, is that it’s non-commercial nature makes it enshittification-proof. There are a lot of significant problems, but it’s super attractive that some tech-bro dickhead won’t blow up the platform to satisfy shareholders’ insatiable profit-lust.

Reddit is now firmly on the enshittification path, so it’s only a matter of time before another exodus wave.

It’s a little too easy to be mean on the internet. Human nature, I guess, when you can’t see who you’re talking to.

I deleted my previous response as it was a bit dickish. I stand corrected, this is pretty strong evidence.

Nice tip, thank you. Still fumbling my way around…

There is no indication whatsoever that @SleeplessOne1917 is the same person as @cannotsleep420. Jesus, people, stop pissing yourselves for the literal 30 seconds it took to fact check this bullshit claim.

*edit: I took the liberty of finding the actual dev’s account: /u/[email protected]. It took a whole additional minute. You’re welcome

*edit 2: /u/[email protected] has some links below that do indeed link /u/[email protected] to /u/[email protected]. Soooo, while I don’t regret my nearly infinite capacity for skepticism, but it looks like this story has some legs. Hat tip to NOT_RICK, who is adamantly not Rick.

kbin.melroy.org is a dogshit instance that needs to be defederated as they obviously don’t give a shit about spam.

What’s extra fun is that there is contact info at the bottom of each one. Weird spam

*Edit: OK, so this article is missing a bunch of vital context. Here’s a better one: https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/08/physicists-achieve-fusion-net-energy-gain-for-second-time/

Yeah, to be clear, I think Google should be the target of multiple antitrust actions. This is just a symptom.
