Does anyone out there use #foursquare? I never got into it - found concept quite creepy - but it was popular back in the day. Is it still?
Ah, Notifications no longer broken for me today :)
Notifications are broken for me today :(
Buckminster Fuller: "The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist." https://mastodon.cloud/media/NtPiircD4YiSbVd8eYA
Why do all conversations that I'm in eventually return back to motifs that are basically the first few minutes of 2001:Space Odyssey? :D
This one went from social media --> capitalism --> evolutionary process --> there will always be one monkey that's willing to hit another
I still don't get it. Is this a protest against Twitter? Aren't there more offensive social media platforms to satirise? Is this some kind of "ironic" hipster thing where it's a satire but users don't realise and then the people behind it laugh at the users for naively adopting this platform? Or is it plagiarism of the Tweetdeck approach cos it's popular?
On the plus side, the benefit of being an early adopter is that I get to use my usual identifier :)
OK so what's with the blatant Tweetdeck reduplication? Even the terms "tweet" and "toot" are super-similar, both phonetically and orthographically, plus, they're both animal-associated onomatopoeia. It's clearly a deliberate thing.
Mastodon looks just like Tweetdeck...
