Wow @Jojothegoodperson@freespeechextremist.com's bot @jojobot has NEARLY 100 FOLLOWERS

Not bad, not bad at all! 👌🏾

Anybody know of any good 2.4 GHz colored light strips and/or smart plugs that are compatible with Alexa?

@farhan @realcaseyrollins @mewmew Twitter at its best is still a crappy experience in some ways though. Like here we get this fun communities and shit, but on twitter is just an ugly mass of stinking, reeking mobs shouting at one another in 280 characters.
@realcaseyrollins @shebang @mewmew What would be their incentive? At work, we havee a saying "start with the customer"

What problem does the Fediverse solve for the average person? Privacy? Censorship? The average person is not concerned about privacy and is untouched by censorship.

The good reasons I think to push for the fediverse are:
A. Twitter effectively pushes a certain social agenda and normalizes certain behaviors. I don't think I need to elaborate more on that.
B. Governments are HIGHLY incentived to migrate off Twitter. Think about it - the President communicates over a network the government does not control.
C. Creating walled-off communities.

I suspect Twitter usage will reduce after Trump leaves the presidency - and that could be an opening for the Fediverse.

@Guild I never followed the Stone case all that closely, but I heard he was one of the witnesses who had been duped by the FBI because he wasn't told that what he was saying was "on the record" and if he lied, he was committing perjury or something.

Even so, the man is guilty, and you can't retry an old case IIRC. I don't see the need for the case to be shortened.

The prosecutors resigning is quite curious, however. 🤔

@alex I miss the days I could do this.

Ah, homeschooling had it's perks.

I played video games so much today I got a headache, then I continued playing through the headache.

@farhan @shebang @mewmew Mm, IDK. If everyone had heard of the , they might switch.

(Also, moving from one social media site to another isn't that enticing for most. How many users are switching from TikTok to Byte? I would guess not many.)

let us flourish into our greatest human potential, and i am fucking grumpy as shit today

@matt @ItsJenNotGabby I don't own a car. I'm on the verge of getting one from my parents, but I'm not sure I want one, considering the operating costs and maintance necessary. I would much rather prefer a bike.

(I must admit, tho, the freedom to be able to go wherever I want, provided I have the gas for it, is pretty enticing.)

I just asked a liberal what she meant by "health care is a right". I said i didnt see that in the constitution.She said "its a human right". I think I need to inform my insurance company I no longer need to pay them. Health care is a human right and their responsibility is to cover me for free 🤔 😂

@NAZl It's still a monopoly; monopolies don't need to have complete control of an industry, just a majority of it. I would say 's userbase utterly dwarfs the 's

@realcaseyrollins yes, otherwise they'd be deprived of their own free speech

the problem is monopolies
@mewmew @realcaseyrollins My stance is that corporate censorship just creates a market for alternatives.

Like the fedi! Honestly if twitter was great, not many of us would be here.
