@dhoop@mastodon.social Haha funny!
I have some non Bengali friends who can speak Bengali, don't think anyone knows that word. :P
@dhoop@mastodon.social Haha antlami. Is that a common word in Hindi? :P
I think you're picking up Bengali quite well.
Strongly agree with this.
The world would be a better place if more people start writing #blogs (or Substack and other Newsletters)

Elon ruining Twitter's identity as a global village and turning it into an echo chamber filled with circle-j*rkers might have an unintended outcome.
We got lazy with our activism.
Wanna complain? Tweet.
Wanna denounce? Tweet.
Wanna condemn? Tweet!
But now, social (media) activism might not be as effective anymore.
That means, frustrations might eventually make people get out ON THE STREETS to protest!
What do you think happens then? 👀

#LAZYFEDI* QUESTION
is there a spreadsheet of how much it costs to run a #Mastodon instance based on # of users & activity?
i would like to see numbers from the hundreds to the millions
it would be cooler if we could have that information extended to all the other #fediverse platforms: #Pixelfed #Lemmy #Pleroma and amma gonna throw in #Drupal #OpenSocial in case there's any instances using ActivityPub & federating
(* lazyfedi is my take on the legendary #lazyweb asks from blogging days)

Interesting. Will watch out what you have to say on this.
I know a few incidents, fuelled by ethnic nationalism.
1. Guwahati Riots: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Guwahati_riots
2. Bongal kheda: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bongal_Kheda
3. Goreswar Massacre: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goreswar_massacre

“The sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.”
Carl Jung, born on this day in 1875, on life and death https://t.co/urhhSaUyhE
This is spot on.
I remember when BJP first came to power. Times did a big cover: Modi means Business and put MMS as the underachiever. Sanghis at that time rejoiced and praised Times so much.
Fast forward to 2019, Times painted Modi as the divider in chief. Bhakts were furious. Called it a foreign propaganda.
Attaching the cover pics here too.

That's actually a great question.
And it applies to a lot of Indian start-ups.

Don't you just hate it when you arrive at work and realise you've forgotten to bring your will to live?
@dhoop@mastodon.social Sounds like a dream!

1. 10% success rate is good! You're not doing bad, at all.
2. If possible, get your application(s) checked by a peer or a senior who has done the same or has some domain knowledge. (If you haven't done already)
3. Take a deep breath. You've got this. :-)
@mehluv Haha why exactly?
@Suzie97 referring to the new wild Mbappe rumors?

OnlyFans but instead it's elderly women showing you how to cook family recipes, sew, garden, can food, make sourdough starters, knit, perl, and be sassy as fuck without giving a crap what anyone else thinks.
Call it OnlyNans.
Haha. What's happening with Twitter now? Payments and banking?!
If you meet someone after a long time, and see they have some pimples in their face/ gained some significant weight/ lose some hair or something else might have happened which might not be "aesthetic" in our societal standards. Why do you think pointing that out to the person is an appropriate thing? They would know their current state. They might be having some hard time, or some medical condition. Stop pointing and stating the obvious, specially if y'all are meeting after a long time.
One of my peers gained some significant weight, and someone pointed it out in a way that was utterly mocking. The person at the receiving end was genuinely hurt. I too felt quite uncomfortable.
