Spoken like someone who hasn’t had to use both!
I miss that ringtone though.
It’s like email! You know email?
I feel you, but Mastodon has about 9 million users and BlueSky has 15 million (if the first results from a search index are to be trusted), but I could not find anywhere even close to 60% of the people in this hobby on Mastodon as I have on BlueSky.
There was a very concentrated push recently of artists (I think it was artists originally) to go to BlueSky and it’s sort of echoed into similarish hobbies. So that’s probably why the user makeup is a little different.
I’m on Lemmy essentially 99% of the time. When I’m on Reddit it’s because of niche hobbies that have more presence there. It’s very rare. (Or search index results.)
I never use Mastodon. I was only on Twitter for very niche and interactive hobbies that do not have enough people to engage with on Mastodon. I mostly use BlueSky now but still use Twitter on occasion. It’s like 50/50 at the moment, but that’s a lot considering my BlueSky account is only like two weeks old.
Lemmy has enough content to keep me entertained for general browsing and most of my hobbies.
Don’t even get me started on planking.
Not enough people on Mastodon are into the things I was using Twitter/use BlueSky for.
For me there weren’t enough people on Mastodon in my hobby to make it worthwhile.
I use(d) Twitter for niche interactive hobbies that didn’t have enough people on Mastodon to engage with.
Some professors are just so wack… Like, if I copy your notes verbatim I’m also “stealing” your intellectual property just as much as taking a photo.
Compare this to one of my college professors who would come in, Google the topic, find another universities notes to use, and then complain about them. Worst teacher ever. (He literally fell asleep during students’ presentations and then berated them about weird minute details.)
Wasn’t it like Napster in that originally it was for pirating text books?
No, I mean videos I’m watching. Let me pay the fraction of a cent myself.
Right, but I don’t trust them as a result and I don’t feel comfortable recommending them or not pointing it out. Meddling with links you click is malware behavior.
Natalie Cole’s version of this does this at the end.
I find it infuriating that the “free market” doesn’t let me bid on an empty ad slot on my own videos and instead makes me pay a flat rate monthly fee.
I consider browser ab blocking a reasonable accomodation for ADHD and I’m not even joking. I haven’t had to ask for this yet but, seriously. Banner ads are extremely distracting.
No. Brave has a history of modifying links you click on to add affiliate information. The only time to use Brave is if user agent spoofing for “chrome only” websites doesn’t make it work.
This one is probably out of date now with smart TVs and few people using cable, but one of those jumbo TV remotes for people with poor eyesight/motor difficulties.
