i might just carry n95 masks for the rest of my life. they're great. weigh nothing, take up no space, fix so many problems. stinky? smokey? pollen? pet dander? forgot to shave? want to avoid face rec? have to be around sick people? dont want to have to show emotions? nbd! one piece of paper fixes all of these problems & more!

@coral Recreational Anger: read things that upset you so you can feel upset, and share it so other people can be angry along with you and you feel less alone. These things needn't be true to suffice: make some up.

Habitual Disdain: hating someone because you have for a long time, attributing malfeasance to everything they do. Share "information" (truthful or not, it doesn't matter). The more shaming and blaming you put on them, the more easily you can justify your disdain.

These are the textually-transmitted diseases of social media.

I was finally getting used to NOT having quote-posts.

Please, can we not hate-share things? Don't QP to dunk. QP to "yes-and," and QP for memes, but don't QP hate into your friends' timelines.

This is not mine, but I find it to be a practical guide for discourse on the #fediverse or in everyday life, for that matter:).

Share/boost it, if you find it useful.

We do not know who we are because we've been indoctrinated to be no different from machines.

"Google will still index your Fediverse content when it appears in the timelines of other sites..." 

@freeschool I don't think people are gonna do that because the general population really doesn't care if Google makes money by indexing their content.. infact that will only make their content more popular so they'll probably be happy about it.. me personally, I wouldn't post something publicly I don't want others to see

In April, the Indian Supreme Court began hearing a series of petitions from 18 LGBTQ+ couples, asking for the legal recognition of same-sex marriage. Oral arguments concluded last Thursday (April 20), with a verdict expected in the coming months.

The Indian government, led by Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party, has formally opposed the issue of same-sex marriage, even as many lawmakers take a different view. #LGBTQ

Here's a handy overview of terms often confused:

😡 sex-negative: Hostility towards #sexuality in general. A form of #bigotry.
🤢 sex-#repulsed: If you find sex to be repulsive *personally* and it stresses you. Not bigotry.
😨 sex-#averse: Like sex-repulsed but weaker. You can deal with the concept of sex mostly, but the thought of being involved in sex yourself creeps you out.
:asexual_flag: #asexual: If you feel little/no sexual attraction.

Three years ago, I wrote a series to help people get a job in tech for as close to $0 as possible with no prior experience.

That sounds like a tall order, but at least 4 people (that I'm aware of) have succeeded with this guide.

If you feel lost or discouraged, give it a read. It costs you nothing. (Not even privacy. I do not have ads on my blog after all.)

The 'Social Media' phenomenon was about capturing & monetizing (+leveraging for political purposes) digital exhaust of human behaviours. What's to stop or thwart that same model - on #mastodon / in #fediverse / or #activitypub ? – asking for a planet.

Without being too snarky, this really seems like the biggest weakness: ChatGPT is unable to give you sources for claims.
