Maybe on your instance - it’s your loss. But admins have a choice - defed from them and lose access to all those users and having actual content worth looking at, or federate with them and actually grow your network into something that has enough going on to make people interested. As it is, I use Threads right now. I strongly prefer it to Mastodon. Kbin comes close, but has less content to idly scroll through. If no Fediverse site I use supports Threads, I’ll keep on using it.
Pitchfork being on an alternative social platform just feels right to me. So I say, go for it.
I find it interesting that they didn’t suggest the possibility that came to my mind first: cannibalization. If it was small to start with, but in clearing the neighborhood, also was volcanic enough to absorb smaller planetoids, it might have absorbed them and grown.
@lexr86 What sucks is when you get a scene, and it belongs to a completely different story than the one you’re writing.
Who doesn’t love the Z-Machine games?
How many millions are you paying them? Because unless you’re paying into the business tier or an SLA, you are not their customer.
I’ve been finding Brave a better solution.
Funny, they’re actively making it worse any time I try to lower my shields too. They’ve changed, very recently, from a video hosting platform with ads, to an advertising platform with some minor videos in between.
@CyberCatBytes Funny, every time I’ve tried Linux, it’s ended in tears, and installing FreeDOS to run Format ., because Linux doesn’t even have that command.
I think it’s time to shut it down, hard. That’s the start of something that will not end well for human beings.
So you want to have the Side colonies from Gundam?
Oh great. Jurassic Park, here we go.
Honestly, given the ruckus they’ve been raising for a while now, my feeling is that Beehaw wants to push themselves away from society as a whole. I don’t agree with their perspective, which is part of why I never engage with much of their content or users. All I can say is that I wish them only the best for their echo chamber.
I have to admit, I never used Twitter much. The changes that made it impossible to use without logging in were the final straw. The availability of local Mastodon groups and the accessibility through KBin have basically rendered it valueless.
When the shoe fits, start wearing it. PRC is an authoritarian state led by a dictator and his cronies.
Huh. Well, I wonder if we’re headed there
My main email is still at Yahoo.

The only way to resolve this situation is to get Ernest to delegate some of the instance moderation and amount. Every other path forward leads to failure.
