Venia Silente

Different conversations in different moods and cultures on the same subject are something completely human and normal, and tech should not work to undo this. When we have seen tech undo this is with social media silos, after all.

Which is to say, any “solution” that integrates those conversations into one view should be, where possible, client-side only. That way I can opt in to view some conversations as unified or not, depending on eg.: how well do I know the context, or whether the OP is a person known for cross-posting (and to where), while at the same time not forcing everyone else to have their culture of conversation subsumed into essentially an attempt to make topical subreddits.

The lil fangs are sending me.

Installed from the internet, it’s downloaded. Installed from a local source (storage, adb) it’s sideloaded installed.

Fixed that for you. Why would the local, direct installation method be the “side” one? Have you become that terminally online?

Oh. I’ve heard about that.

Then again, I was going for the Tibearius angle. Guess I should work on make my humour more notable.

…well, they’d do it in turns! Participation for everyone!

I should have increased my next-to-nil activity on my fedia account but noooo!

Instead thanks to some recommendations I ended up on db0 (also on sopuli but I barely use that one). It’ seems like a fun instance and you get to write your own essay on why Leftism is Good while you’re at it. Alas, I lost some posts on lemm.ee that I had tabbed on phone to check later, no idea what to do about that. I hear there were plans to launch a read-only archive of the instance, which would be nice to at least recover that data and be able to find those posts and open them / save them from another account, but no idea what eber happened to that archive idea.

I have not considered Piefed… out of laziness mostly. I was not informed much about it by the time the migration took place, and while it should be easy to just create an account over there, I know in the heart of the cards that it’s gonna sit unused by me until an instancepocalypse hits db0. Ya know, just like my fedia and sopuli accounts. /shrug

And orange cats, mutually exclusively!

Tibearius?

Nothing unexpected from a company that openly espouses fascism.
