Someone linked to the conversation you're describing, and all I can say is "wow". I'm disgusted by the way that admin insisted on attacking a position you didn't take, claiming you DID take that position, and using "well it's the logical next step" as an excuse. I'm in agreement with what another user said: it's difficult not to see Beehaw in a different light after observing an admin behaving like that.
Yeeeah... It's crazy how many quality of life features Misskey and Firefish have over Mastodon. I'm thinking about making the switch myself despite the big difference in UI.
To be fair, according to the article this project is less than a month old! I'm sure it will continue to improve.
Please don't surrender your sick, elderly dog to a shelter. His quality of life will decrease there. The likelihood of him being adopted is extremely slim; what you will do is subject him to a confusing, stressful situation before he's euthanized. Assuming you've had him since he was a puppy, 13 years is a long time to have a stable home, only to suddenly be abandoned. Your shih tzu (and you) will likely cope better if an at-home euthanasia is performed for your cocker spaniel.
Yeah. Beehaw isn't on version 0.18 and Jerboa isn't compatible with anything below that version, so I figured that's why I went from no crashes to a bunch of 'em. I switched to Liftoff for now.
Jet Set Radio Future!
I don't see this as a problem at all. The internet has always been this way. If there was one singular Linux community in the Fediverse and you had to go there to discuss the topic, you'd just have Reddit. And Reddit already exists.
Reddit has its fair share of "repeat" subreddits. This isn't unique to a decentralised platform.
Personally, I think Spez is counting on users to think the way you do — make a big fuss, protest by leaving for 48 hours, and coming right back even if nothing has changed. Reddit has no reason to backtrack if they can just wait for the storm to blow over and everyone returns to business as usual after two or three days lol.
This was my immediate reaction too. Reddit will likely replace the current moderator team of r/videos and reopen. Nonetheless I can appreciate and respect the gesture/message.
I was the stereotypical tomboy growing up: I hated the colour pink, had no interest in dolls, and actively fought against being put in dresses. When puberty began between 5th and 6th grade, I cried at being unable to fit my favourite hand-me-down clothes from my older brother. I was miserable when my mom took me shopping for training bras.
I lived with a persistent feeling that something was off about me and my life until one morning in 10th grade journalism class. While browsing the net on a school laptop, I happened to come across the Wikipedia page for transsexual. I'd never heard of it before. I read the page from top to bottom during that class. My heart was racing, I had chills, and I felt scared for seemingly no reason. Everything seemed to click into place in that moment, and I knew I was reading about myself.
Naturally, my sexuality flipped from heterosexual to homosexual. It felt natural and right and how things were always meant to be, and I never had cause to question it.
I'm gay. Nothing special lol
Ohhh, this is a good policy. I'm taking this!
