Fucken preach. I'm trying to view an image, not a web app.

Also, death to MMS.

@phoenix
Did you have an issue with any of that type of imagery?

@rw
I'm beginning to wonder why they even put those in anymore, with the ubiquity of phones and all.

@rw
I bet it was delicious.

@astheroth @p really? That's super lame.

@georgia why?

@georgia yeah and like I said up there somewhere, lots of that news from FB or twitter or YouTube is promoted content, which is manipulative in nature, whereas here it is actual stuff the people you talk to are interested in, so it is organic, like talking to your neighbor. Promoted content is dangerous.

@georgia OK that's more interesting than I expected. Still, when they say they get their news from "Facebook" that's probably mostly from their "friends". That's a good point for social media like Pleroma or Mastodon: there are no promoted posts, no ads, so nobody can spread anything other than organically. Some of that news people get on FB is bought and paid for. That's not so here.

@georgia I mean, if most people get their news from social media, that's like most people getting it from people they talk to rather than TV. I'd rather get news from you for example than from some dick in a suit talking head using a one to many propaganda machine with no feedback or interaction.

@georgia this is actually all pretty swanky

@Wetrix I count as 2 of them.

@fribbledom it is really quite simple. All defined periods of time are made up. A decade is any 10 year period, a decade starts every second. So what really matters is what people at large think, not some academic fine point.

@glitcher32 you'll need a recovery email, and there's a damn re-captcha but thats it.

@glitcher32 I'll look into map box.

Any email, I use mail.com but anything that supports IMAP would work, and you can encrypt chats so you don't really have to worry about that if you don't want to.

@georgia it's called hashcash and it is awesome
