i just went to bsky. mastodon was a bit too confusing for my tastes.

its ok I edited my comment a bit, I can see how it seemed like I was arguing with ya. apologies bb <3

wha? you didn’t. i just was agreeing with you the whole time.

was just adding my own frustrations to your own, as yours are true.

exactly. and trying to downplay potential users as stupid before they’ve even used a social media platform isn’t going to exactly make them want to stay. or even try in the first place.

just makes mastodon look like a place where nerds reign free and normal folks won’t be able to participate effectively.

if you want to make mastodon a destination and not a niche corner to be avoided, this is not the way.

i agree with you completely.

edit: I should clarify, the “guide” above is the thing insulting users. the guide is inaccurate.

just because it doesn’t typically work that way doesn’t mean it shouldn’t. blocking should absolutely be a two person thing. block from contact and communication, and block the person from being able to stalk and retaliate or harass you in return.

why is it bad to want that?

ive been there before. for sure.

i know right? humans wanting to get visas so they can work and feed themselves and their families. morons.

suuuuper selfish.

/s

i can’t even get streaming from my steam deck to work over discord, much less twitch.

if anyone has successfully done it, I’d also love to hear it.

i can’t wait to pirate their new switch 2 games 🥰 its gonna be awesome.

my point was from an idealist perspective, “let’s get rid of prisons” sounds great.

but when I read such statements, 99% of the time the concept seems to be the end. and no actual plan or realistic prospect to make that fantasy a reality.

“do away with prisons” is an idea that doesn’t really seem feasable without a real plan.

meanwhile we can make changes to the prison system we have now to make it more habitable. make laws that protect prisoners while incarcerated. decent facilities, decent exercise equipment, easy ways to become educated or further education.

these are things that just take money to fix. and can be done now.

so… prisons under a different name is your suggestion? to stop prisons.

oh nice. i like that idea! what’s your plan to deal with criminals?

I’d love to know what settings you use to get 3 hours. I’m lucky if I can get an hour and 35 minutes.

i suspect they’re going to be red in the face mad when nobody cares and ignores them.

it reminds me of reddit, honestly. nothing can even be simple.

…you good, man? its an ai generated webcomic. its not the anti-christ

why are people downvoting this? it seems it was an honest mistake.

honey this is the incorrect place for this rambling stuff. there are likely places you can share that kind of stuff, but here is likely not the best idea.

hahahaaa it hasn’t even been 24 hours. that’s awesome!

Mass Effect Andromeda. I absolutely love the game and have played through it multiple times, wishing for DLC. for an expansion of this wonderful universe that I love to explore.

sucks really bad that it will never come back 😔
