I'm surprised each time this happens.
The change seems to be intensifying with each passing year as well.
"People in New York are always looking for things to do because their apartments are terrible and movies remain one of the cheapest and most fun options for doing so.”
sometimes I wonder if my shitty apartment is a feature not a bug
Having moderated a large online community for about a decade now, I'm finding the collective arguing about CW protocol and kindness vs. freedom interesting and familiar and tiring and valuable all in a mix.
Community self-identification is a weird process, and I think I am mostly glad that mastodon doesn't by its very structure require the answer to be monolithic and universal.
But I will tip my hand a little and say that erring on the side of kindness is pretty much always defensible.
excellent!
I've typically enjoyed dishes that treat the rice cakes like gnocchi and serve them with a hearty ragu but I'm curious whether there are other ways I'd like it.
FWIW CWs on politics toots started cuz we generally always did just shitpost on the PTL but the moment someone brought up your orange president it would bring the whole timeline down.
You know, like on birb site? But if we all did the cw thing you wouldn't have to leave every five hours so you wouldn't hit your head on the wall, like on birb site.
This isn't the birb site. Let's keep it that way
@plsburydoughboy
I think I understood the gist of what you were saying but the acronyms CW and PTL evade me.
Could you expand them for me?
Is there a protocol for asking people to add content warnings to future toots about a particular subject? I mean, au pire, someone decides not too and I can then mute certain keywords or user accounts, but is it okay to ask people? I see a few awkward suicide references being used as analogies in federated timeline for totally unrelated subjects, and I'm thinking that that's the kind of thing I would ideally like seeing content warnings for? enfin, thinking/tooting out loud
I think we're early enough in this experiment that you can influence or set a starting point for what that protocol ought to be.
You know what else I like about masto, how thumbnails are v small and deemphasized. Looking at birbsite, I'm realizing now how much graphics have taken it over.
@archaeme this is a gud idea. if you have the time and ability, please do this
@s02303947 here's a song that sometimes makes me cry:
@laurenl I promise those us who watched that film remember it often. At least I do.
Korean rice cakes aka ddeokboekki
impossible foods ground meat substitute
#nyc if you want to beat Boston to hosting the first IRL toot meet, we need to act quickly:
there's an easy way to test that theory, can you see this:
I feel like we are living in that montage from The Social Network where everyone is happily trying facebook for the first time and trent reznor is dropping cool beats.
I think that was before the "chicken cannibalism" sequence though so everyone be safe out there.
@gaditb thanks so much taking some time to explain the history to me
@gaditb ah. That would explain the relatively large numbers of signups on awoo and anticapitalist
