Zactly.

It’s come a long way.

This is probably the least painful way to get a few fediverse apps installed. There are many Mastodon type apps, Pixelfed, Lemmy and maybe more.

Somehow the Beepberry people got their hands on tons of BlackBerry keyboards. I assume they get in trouble because if you look at the site now, all the keyboards are pixelated to be unreadable. But I just assumed that these were international BB keyboards so probably some other script like Arabic or Cyrillic, etc.

“Warez”. That’s a name I’ve not heard for a long time.

Looks like it doesn’t specifically but you can lock it down still.

This works. If OP has a SIM card (vs esim) then it’s easy to move it back and forth between phones as the problem ebbs and flows. I have a $60 “feature” phone (the non-slang name for them) that sits in a drawer and comes out a few times a year to quell the noise.

You are, in fact, doom scrolling.

Does GtS not support relays? That’s what everyone uses to seed their new instances. I’m on a single user instance and have thousand of posts from hundreds of instances coming in daily.

That is a good book.

Re: downvoting; I think it’s just knee jerk reaction to any suggestion Facebook can do anything good. I have the same reaction but, like you, there’s a specific group I belong to that doesn’t exist elsewhere and it’s one of the few groups that isn’t toxic or hysterical.

F* no.

This is not an airport. You don’t have to announce your departure. You can just leave.

You can’t just say blocked. It doesn’t work that way. #michaelscott

That’s the app I use. It is nice.

I just find the federated timeline a good way to find new people. Because everyone is stuffed onto the flagship instance, there’s prolly lots on the local timeline. But not so for smaller or newer instances.

A true poet!

This comment hurts my brain. There’s a lot more to the fediverse than a single app.

Commas matter.

Some (all?) of the apps just wrap the FB website so they can’t really tell what’s happening to block it or could do so without hitting a bunch of innocents.

Addling a vote for Fastmail. It’s great, priced right, privacy centric, has wicked 1Passwold integration (including disposable email addresses) and nerdy features for those who want them.

Personally I use Hey but that’s because imma snob.
