COVID-19 restrictions, jesus. What is this 2020?

The l looks taller than the 4 to me, which makes it clear it's not another number

I live in the south and if anything I'm glad that the fucking summer is finally over. I had SAD in spring because of my allergies and because I know that the heat is coming though.

Whoa did you just deny a CIA narrative?

In places of the EU, especially close to the sea, tap water fucking sucks. You end up with kidney stones if you drink it every day. Stop romanticising the EU so much for fuck's sake.

What did you expect? Messages have to be stored on the server, and the instance owner has access to the server...

Mastodon is an interesting case because it was a splinter of Twitter but it basically had the same moderation policies so it was the same thing and imo had no appeal of its own. Now with Musk it's possible that things will change in Twitter's policies so Mastodon may become useful, but we'll see.

It's not only a verification service, you get more features.

Isn't putting whatever you want next to a popular guy's tweets enough payment?

"empowers" is such a red flag in my book...

Twitter has always been a cesspool of hate but it may be worth signing up if people who bitch about Musk owning it keep leaving.

I completely agree with you, but that's the way The Orange Website works. As a lowly user there is nothing we can do about it.

When people ask you why you hate twitter threads, show them this hodgepodge of short sentences with sandwiched CO2 removal advertisements.

Vouching for a comment makes it visible for everyone else. That means that dang reviews whether the comment breaks the rules and if it does he'll take away your ability to vouch in the future. Therefore, vouching is not a way to continue commenting on a sub-thread that breaks the rules.

You can't reply to dead comments, effectively killing the conversation, so no, it's not the same thing.

It looks completely normal to me?

It works fine.

I would pay for Twitter Blue if it allowed me to automatically block all current blue checkmarks holders.

And if they don't, I'm happy the government doesn't foist that on the people, unlike in other places.

Proper open source uses whatever licence the author wants.

Somewhere in options you can choose not to receive messages from strangers.

Buy your lawn mower somewhere else

What a way of defining a monopoly.

Tesco has a monopoly on Tesco.

A monopoly? They don't even have 50% market share... in some European countries I think they don't even have 20%
