dude sometimes i think the parking lot security guys are in like a war movie the way they talk in the walkies

Have we decided on the convention of Mastodon Tagging?

Are we going to #tag within the #mastodon posts like Twitter,
Or add them in at the end like on Tiktok,
Or go the #instagram route- tagging organically within the description and then tacking on whatever #relevant tags we couldn’t shoehorn in?

#tiktok #question

Have we created any uniquely #mastodon #lore yet?
All the other major social media networks have organically developed culutural affects, experiences, and references

Sites like #twitter, #reddit, #tumblr, #instagram, #tiktok, and even #facebook all have these observable in-jokes and conventions

Mast on isn’t new… but it’d be absurd to pretend this isn’t a critical reset moment on the platform- a new chapter, at least

I guess we wait and see

@thisisbensilver eventually webmasters will script out a function that blocks hits from anonymized links.

Have you noticed that some websites are tracking when you send a link to someone?

I made this simple iOS Shortcut to reanonymize them- preserving the barebones link to the original post/article without the tracking

#introduction

Speaking of #demographics: The one-child policy enforced by the #CCP for a long time has led to a society that is getting out of balance increasingly: Not enough young working people to support all the pensioners. And seen #China's shrinking #population, the housing bubble is here to stay. Add #tangping aka the #lyingflat movement to the mix, and the dream of continuous high #GDP growth rates becomes an illusion.

Keep in mind that economic growth legitimizes the regime in #Beijing.

An alternate 20th century of a more Russian world, an independent Constantinople, liberal-democratic Varangian Tsars, and more? Ooh...

@kerileighmerritt you do realize that younger white women become older white women, yes?

@stux with a giant fuckin' asterisk that you have to be willing to block shitheads and cultivate a good keyword mute list. there are definitely some unhinged wackos that have appeared in my replies when i garnered the attention of the wrong person or server.

@lack I also think hard-atheist materialism, taken by itself without anti-Christian miso-theism, is a poorly thought out position. Either you accept the possibility of reincarnation or an afterlife of some sort, that just means you are re-inventing paganism… or, you deny the possibility of an afterlife or a soul, which is a difficult position to prove. Face it: consciousness is a hard problem, every AI developer or a sci-fi author knows that!

@lack Christian god: “You are evil, and you deserve to die.” Atheist: “No, -you- are evil and I think you don’t exist.”
