@lydiaconwell I didn't notice it either... but then I don't watch EastEnders. ;)

@gioypi Gracias. ;)

@mc With soap bubbles I actually prefer in color. It's so nice to see all the colorly swirls in them.

@derickflorian @freemo I'm sure I'm going to regret this soon. ;) And thanks!

@mc @freemo Exsqueeze me, it is a Saint Nicholas hat! And you'll change your mind once you taste our kruidnoten, speculaas, and taai-taai that's associated with this event!

@mc I dunno, I rather like those soap bubbles floating in the air.

@drdrowland Pixelfed.social is a bit overloaded because of all the new users. Probably best to have an account on a smaller instance there.

Or host your own! :D

@gioypi I'm more of a matte screen person myself, to be honest. ;) But thanks!

@STORM I don't think it'll sway the people who have settled nicely on the Fediverse. Bluesky stands to be yet another Big Tech Project.

@wood Yes, -now-.

Twitter isn't going to be THAT nice.

Or do you really want an insane millionnaire having a say in this?

@admitsWrongIfProven If you want to filter languages, go to settings > Preferences > Other and scroll down. Select the languages you'd prefer to see, most non-yourlanguage instances might then be filtered out.

@admitsWrongIfProven Set the feed to pause. Turn on the slow mode in the settings > preferences. It's the sane thing to do anyway!

@lydiaconwell What if one didn't care about any theme tunes? :P

@lydiaconwell By grabthar's hammer... what a savings!

@wood I think more along the lines of the browser wars.

Microsoft kicked out Netscape with their Internet Explorer. Implemented their own standards to compete with Firefox.. you got websites with wildly different layouts depending on which browser you used.

Don't believe for a thing that big corporations are going to play nice.

@Waldemar @freemo @peterdrake Go to settings, then Follows and Subscriptions. You'll see it from there.

@wood That'd be the worst as almost everybody except the rightwing instances will start blocking the big tech sites. AND there would be even less incentive of people looking outside the corporate bubble in the mistaken belief that 'they're already in contact with the outside world anyway'.

@wood Yeah, maybe the target audience we talk about needs to be educated about this. It's kind of silly how everything starts to be app-driven when it's not necessary. Everybody already got browsers, and some websites are already fantastic as is.

@admitsWrongIfProven There might be a way, but I don't recall it. Ask your question to the public at large, add the Mastodon hashtag and maybe someone can answer that question better than I do. :) Maybe there's a service for it.
