I always laugh at the term “far left” or “left extremism.” Like oh no stop it with all the equality and rights. No no anything but those.

I’m not seeing much at all of that currently. A week ago? Sure. Now it’s been consolidated to a mega thread.

Are* and god I hope so. Protections from nazis are precisely why I came to beehaw.

What if I told you we don’t need to compete with them?

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

I won’t touch anything with Dorsey’s name attached. Yuck.

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.

Just delete the account a make it on another instance? What’s the issue?

Everyone always saying “rip Twitter” but y’all never leave, so…

Trying it now. Thunder is really good but it feels like it’s designed for Android not iOS. Very “material you” feeling.

I’ve entirely degoogled. iOS + macOS with Proton suite subscription. I finally got to the point I could totally delete my Google account.

Eh. I used to be a YouTube junkie but honestly I’ve gone back to live TV, Hulu, Netflix, etc… I’m kinda over the whole YouTube thing.

Mastodon is better anyway. I deleted Twitter ages ago when Musk took over. It’s amazing how many people have stayed there despite how much he’s shit all over the userbase. He makes Spez look like a saint.

It’s a mastodon instance. Calm down.

Do they still function?

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.
