@GottaLaff Ug. Hard enough in some ways dealing with regular lamers. But Breitbart? I would not wish that on anyone. Back in the day before a lot of politics hit the net, I can point to the first big "scandal" when someone purported to be female, and started a relationship with a guy on line. And when it got serious and he flew out to meet her, she was in truth a guy. Made quite the ripple in the close knit online community of a few thousand regulars. Today, politics online way too crazy. :)
@GottaLaff Yes indeed. Back then no one had yet learned how to be a troll, or even anything other than themselves. I was on the old Compuserve CB simulator, the first popular national chat system. Back when you maybe had 5 to 50 different people on a night. LOL Met my wife that way. Back when one could actually keep up with the message rates.
@GottaLaff Mastodon reminds me of the good old days back in the 1980's on the first nationwide chat systems. (pre-internet even) The suits said it would never take off, no one wanted to type at each other. This started really slow.... but boy oh boy. My My, we proved the suits wrong, and no one envisioned twitter or Facebook back then.
@GottaLaff -insert obligatory Sunday joke here-
Well keeps them from having to show up at church, where they may be smote by lightning.... ;)
@GottaLaff http://nicolesandler.com/media-bias-sunday-talk-scoreboard-gop-8-dems-3-librulmediamyass-3/ -Now, what I wonder is, why is this true? MSM so "controlled" now its biased towards R, or R simply makes better ratings? Either way Murrow and Cronkite (et al.) are spinning in their graves.
@GottaLaff Checking out http://nicolesandler.com/laffys-place/about-gottalaff/ now. :)
@GottaLaff Interesting platform. Still learning the layouts. Its like a cross between Twitter (centralized) and IRC (distributed). Just got to look around the various instances and find whats active I guess.
@GottaLaff Not sure there is critical mass here yet. Time will tell.
@Stonekettle Have not really used Twitter in ages. Thanks for the pointer here and will try. Congrats on your new puppy! Miss your cats. Thanks for your rational views and thank you for giving a well written and venerable voice to how many of us feel in these trying times!
