Another really bad take on Google and the Fediverse 

@mathlover Not good, do we respond and end up with a flame war or do we simply not react at all to this and share positive experiences only.

Another really bad take on Google and the Fediverse 

@zleap These people had no retweets or likes overall last I checked, and almost all of the other people talking about this were very critical of Google's move. I'd suggest ignoring them altogether.

@mathlover yeah, good idea. just FUD which we get enough of as it is.

@zleap I especially recommend ignoring Joseph Santoro. He seems to be on psychedelics and thinks Elon Musk is involved in nefarious plots to build concentration camps.

@mathlover If it wasn't for the more intelligent people i chat to on twitter I would dump it, I am not on facebook which is far worse as far as I can tell.

@zleap I have not actually used Facebook in years, but I remember leaving the more serious group I was in after it degenerated enough.

@mathlover I seem to remember people just post rubbish, how drunk they are, how fed up they are, pictures of food, so nothing that I would count as intelligent

I like following and commenting on the quantum physics stuff on twitter.

I did tweet about the interview on the bbc today about migrants, but more to comment that the interviewee had a t-shirt

No place like 127.0.0.1 I understood that so asked if it was me being a geek or is that normal.

@zleap Most of my friends are from high school, and since I went to a college prep school for most of my life, I didn't get as much banality as I got bad political takes.

There was one girl who started a group about New Age woo and added me to the group without asking me. That group was insane.

@mathlover And new age Woo means what exactly.

I had to make a fake account on fb to communicate with the south devon tech jam team, it is on a separate netbook, facebook is blocked on my main desktop and netbook.

@zleap The people there believed they could channel higher beings, that astrology was real, that big pharma and vaccines were evil and alternative medicine was the way, that we are ruled by reptilians...
