Maybe the shithole country was the United States we lived in along the way.

Weird how all these headlines showing positive news about the country start showing up NOW vs two or three months ago.

The current totals are 76M for trump and 74M for Harris.

You’re not wrong in that more people should have turned out, but lots and lots of people did not want this.

A thin majority of the Americans who voted wanted this.

So did the Pixelfed app just never materialize? It seems like all work shifted over to this Loops app.

“News finally tells truth for once, gets backlash from people who believe in chem trails.”

Sooooo…he’s walking away free then?

I don’t have any trust that friends of trump will face any consequences for anything.

This type of stuff is only going to get worse in the next four years.

Finally, damn.

I’m pretty sure the most embarrassing day was a couple of Tuesdays ago.

You can’t say anything bad or joke about him. He’s god around these parts.

A lot of these people will probably also say “billionaires shouldn’t exist” but for Gabe he’s “our” billionaire so it’s fine.

If you are curious about the stupid video, this is it. I reported it for misinformation.

“I was just stumped,” Newell said, sipping a drink on one of his many yachts. “Maybe I’ll get unstumped with my next yacht purchase.”

Overhearing the conversation, George RR Martin, sitting on a pile of money, quipped, “Yes, and I am thiiiis close to finishing the next book.”

They are big scared of Bluesky and their custom feeds feature.

Sure, but what percentage of users are bots on twitter at this point?

I read an article today about these newer social media apps, and they mentioned that Masto is focusing now on quote posts among other features, so that may be coming soon.

The CEO of Bluesky just posted they hit 17M users today after hitting 16M in the last 24 hours.

The juice is juicin’.

A couple of those items have at least been addressed to varying degrees now.

There’s definitely a screen to show you “who to follow” now, and an Explore tab to show popular posts of the day.

Not saying that solves all the problems, but at least they have made some strides in the last couple of years.

He has a Bluesky account already, and has posted…some.

Everyone I’ve seen (mostly in the tech space) seems to say that Threads feels soulless. I follow a few people there from my Masto account (yay, federation), and that’s all fine and dandy. But I don’t know if I’d trust Zuck in the long run since he already seems to be kissing the ring.

I think they described some basic-ish stuff you’d get if you subbed, like longer video uploads. There were a couple of perks that I don’t remember off the top of my head.

And that may not be the only revenue stream in the end. They may still get financing from somewhere else, which certainly has its issues. But at least trying to figure out something while they are relatively small is probably a better approach than waiting until the walls are falling down and then scrambling.
