I wholly agree with this.

@rodolpho Heck, my parents are educated, intelligent medical doctors and I *still* have to explain how to change one's Google account name to my mother and help my father figure out things in Excel.

@rodolpho On gameliberty.club I saw an interesting thread on the subject of Parler. The description of it as a "conservative boomer safe space" sounds about right.

To be honest I suspect people before Gen-X don't grasp the concept of a decentralized social media platform because they don't understand the Internet or computers beyond a superficial level due to having been introduced to it late in life.

@valleyforge Good to know that this won't be a commonly repeating event on Mastodon, if that is what you are saying.

@valleyforge Fair enough.

@valleyforge Do you think there's a method to contact the admin there? And if there were, should I even bother with that?

@valleyforge Fair enough. I've muted them, and they already blocked my other account.

@valleyforge Yeah...I'm kind of blown away by how toxic that individual is. First time I've seen *that* on Mastodon, but then again I was kind of looking at a hashtag where that would be expected.

Has anyone had experience with that server's other residents?

Or maybe the user was the issue.
lesbian<dot>hacker was the first part.

So I had this rather unfortunate experience with a person on a server called radical.town. Has anyone else had trouble with that server? Because her response was incredibly profane.

Well, the good news is that protests in most of the Northeast and Midwest have died down.
The bad news is that COVID is surging everywhere else and all Trump's doing in response is being a real-life troll: he's literally stirring up everyone in the US in some way.

It is to Biden's credit that he has mostly kept his mouth shut, been straightforward and non-inflammatory when he has said anything, supers supported masks, social distancing, and fixing the issues that led to the protests while avoiding the inane hashtag politics of the moment such as police defunding and abolition, and generally just let Trump hang himself on his own rope.

Whatever you think of Biden (I personally am optimistic about his administration) Trump is immeasurably worse and it is paramount that Trump be ousted in the next election. Biden's platform at the moment is left enough to get us back on track as a nation; if that's not enough, there's 2024 to look forward to—if we get Trump out first!!

@freemo Got it. Thanks for clarifying!
