Neither of us are very techy and I told him I'd look into this for him because he's juggling 100 different things right now. I think my dumb ass relaying instructions on how to do this, to his dumb ass, would end in tears.

Oh, goody. The internet's gonna get a lot worse with a lot fewer voices to hear from.

Appreciate the info, neither of us want to support zionists.

There is no wake up call for Harry Potter fans, because they wanted this. Why the fuck else would they fund it?

Stop acting like they're anything less than transphobic wastes of oxygen, for the love of god.

Been going to the gym whenever possible, not the solid routine I'd like, but I'm still enjoying it. Pruned some houseplants that went crazy after a VERY long depression. A few of them might bounce back, we'll see.

Also got a few works in progress going. They gave us flowers at work so I have one pressing under a book right now, and I'm trying to propagate the stem. Not confident, but I hate to waste a flower, so I'm trying. Also picked a bunch of succulent leaves up off the floor at work. Hopefully something grows 🤞

Nah. I'm not 100% against it, some are fun or useful in concept, but I'm here to talk to people, and threads littered with grammar corrections and Sokka haikus get old.

If there was an effective vetting process for useful bots, eg the repost sleuth bot, that'd be nice. But the "good bot"/"bad bot" voting system just became its own form of spam.

I mean, I assume?

I found the bot promoted in a different Telegram channel dedicated to making and sharing AI-generated nonconsensual pornography which has about 50,000 members.

This isn't thought policing... First off, these are actions, but second, no one's policing it.

People still don't know what Mastodon is. I mentioned it recently and someone asked, "isn't it mostly white supremacists?"

Tell him they're ghosts, and the whole joke is that Mystery Inc. keeps finding random guys dressed as ghosts and somehow don't notice all the ghosts yelling right there

Kind of, and it was a good way to keep trolls and spammers out of sensitive communities, but unfortunately with bots and astroturfing existing nowadays, karma incentives terrible behavior.

I usually feel this way, but I was at a pizza place a, while back, and the cheese on the cheese pizza just looked so much gooier than on the others... I still wonder how much better my life would be if I'd had the gooey cheese instead of the goo-less supreme...
