You don’t have any place for outgoing mail?? That’s wild. Most people in houses just clip outgoing mail to their mailbox for the postman to pick up. I would’ve assumed apartments always had an outgoing box if they’re using one of those walls of mailboxes.

FWIW I am not enjoying the Proton app experience. I can’t favorite servers so I have to manually search and connect to the location I want each time.

I started a RDR2 play through a while back and I was shocked at how much content I was finding in Reddit comments for the random stuff I was looking up.

For certain niches over the past decade, it really is a treasure trove 😔

This sounds more like a fact checker than brain gsmes.

Yes.

Yeah it def is opt in. The only two default feeds you get are literally an algo free timeline and discover timeline, it defaults to the algorithm free timeline iirc.

Sure, their discover tab is closed source algorithm but you don’t have to use it. In addition, you can create and import your own algorithms (which becomes necessary because you can’t follow hashtags, which is frustrating)

I don’t think there is a future without algorithms, but I do think it’s important to implement them in a way similar to how bsky did where they’re opt-in and configurable by individual users.

hyphens are dead, capitalization is next.

Probably won’t have one for a while. Pixelfed still doesn’t have one afaik and that’s another of their projects.

I’ve been on mastodon for a couple of years and received my first like that just over the past week.

All of them?

1. Ease of use

The combination of having to choose an instance and then start with an algorithm free blank slate is a tough ask. It literally takes time to sit down and setup your initial “feed”, which is probably a good thing, but not at all what attracts users whimsical curiosities nor what they’ve experienced over their entire existence with social media.

i want this too but, wouldn’t that list also be a great asset for the companies blocking VPNs?

Alice In Chains - Dirt

I think the simple answer is yes?

guys he doesn’t know

wait does this mean your head/brain are unprotected?? risky

The only time I think this is okay is when you’re in a heat wave and it’s gonna be too hot later in the day(s) to actually be out working in it.

Disappointing doesn’t even feel like a strong enough word.

Yeah if default settings, mullvad is probably hard to beat if tor is off the table.
