@mastotips For some reason I don't think this image is correct.

The real Fediverse is really very fragmented with some instances very happily blocking other instances for the silliest reasons.

The image that I provide here might be a bit more spot on, though I wouldn't be surprised if it is actually worse than this in reality.

@satan
'forces'? You can leave anytime with no strings attached, not sure what's so forced about it?

Also I think most people look at this from the wrong perspective. It's more a guarantee that UFoI members aren't blocking each other, guaranteeing that there's at least a piece of the Fediverse communicating with each other. If you don't wish to partake in this, just don't join.

I think this is a more positive approach than shouting 'FEDIBLOCK! FEDIBLOCK!'

@sergeant It's nice. That's why I'm so bummed I finished watching all that!

I'm kinda annoyed that I already finished watching Lower Decks. I was getting entertained there, and now it's over. :P

@derickflorian Our receptionist was out of the running for almost 2 weeks when she got infected 2 years ago. She got infected again about a week ago and was back within like 3 days. Vaccinations are a thing. :)

I guess it might be less terrible for you as well in this 2nd round. It still sucks of course, and the long term effects of an infection are still unknown as of yet.

@bonifartius Take care, your mental health is important. Go do some fun stuff!

@EubieDrew 'campaign', wtf? Sounds more like they're holding a campaign to slander Qoto instead. 👀

And that's why @freemo is so eager to get UFoI going. The Fediverse sounds like a very superstituous bunch at the moment. Lots of acting based off hearsay.

I saw a post on Reddit about how to cancel an Adobe subscription without the asshole "early cancellation fee" and figured it's worth sharing:

1. Login to your adobe account
2. Go to plans and payments
3. Find your current plan and select "Manage Plan"
4. The third box on the right should say "Cancel Plan"
5. It will ask you why, tell them "Go fuck yourself" and press continue
6. It will offer you to change plans, select "Photography plan (20GB)" - $9.99
7. Confirm the change
8. Now go back to your Plans and it may say "You'll be able to manage this plan shortly" and that's because there is a waiting period after starting a plan, probably to ensure you forget to cancel or something. Took about an hour for it to go away, so if it's there just walk away and refresh the page every 15 minutes or so.
9. Once you are able to manage your plan, repeat steps 3, 4, and 5. This time actually cancel the plan. There will be no early cancellation fee AND you'll be refunded the $9.99.

Fuck adobe.

@stux The lack of a normal word wrap is awful though!

@baklavades Yeah, except that it seems a bit buggy. Have experienced that they respond to posts without a @-mention since Friendica itself apparently handles responses differently.

@koyu@koyu.space Don't really see why not. After all, you can bail out anytime when you think it's not a fit.

@shibaprasad Did he have a wife (your mother) who did *everything* at home? Shopping, cooking, cleaning, raising, whatevering?

Nowadays such a thing is impossible as both would have to work to survive.

@baklavades Doesn't surprise me. It can be easily abused for spamming.

@knuppelbeer Ik weet zeker van niet. Mijne zouden allang daaraan zijn doodgegaan.

Oh cool. My Vivaldi browser finally has a Mastodon panel. Now I'm wondering if that's just for vivaldi.social or that I can log in another instance with this?
