@kelsey Oh, I might need to look into that! That sounds kind of perfect...

Part of just getting into face care and potentially makeup is I have no idea how to hide my pores but I desperately want to. lol.

Back when I was active on Usenet it was considered pretty normal to have house rules for any newsgroup, you were also expected to refrain from posting long enough to notice and learn the unspoken customs (this was called "lurking").

Nowadays people see it as an orchestrated attack against free speech, shout references to 1984, and threaten to move elsewhere.

Yet the ones asking us all to behave politely are called "hypersensitive"?

There you go, a explicit list of topics requiring a CW in public timelines. octodon.social/about/more

Simple: put a CW on NSFW or violence in any way or you get silenced/banned.
Use more of them in an opportunistic way, for anything negative or depressing.

Will I catch flack for admitting I sometimes pirate PC games because I barely make ends meet each month?

= MASTODON =
WHAT THEY EXPECTED: a VC backed startup intending to destroy twitter
WHAT THEY GOT: a bunch of cyberpunk kids hanging out behind the mall

oh, question for the folks on non-mastodon instances Show more

@Migukin It would require everyone running an instance do the upgrade, AFAIK.

@Oceanity Didn't know that was a thing. How did you do that?

@bradlibum Refresh the whole page, if you're using the web client.

All the avatar photos disappeared. @CobaltVelvet, is this on my end or yours?

So is awoo the same as Mastodon? Or something entirely different?

Notifications still aren't working on my phone - but I can't blame the app since the Chrome ones aren't either. I've kept it stock because I was tired of the tweaking and workarounds needed with a custom ROM...

But I'm still on 6.0, not even 6.0.1, nevermind 7.0 or better and I'm just really annoyed with Lenovo at this point. The whole reason I got a Moto X Pure was for the near-AOSP experience and promise of regular software updates.

I was lied to.

If I had the $$$ I'd get a Pixel.

I know politics are super important in the world today, but tbh I really needed a space where I could talk about other things to distract myself.

At the same time, when I do that on birdsite I start to feel like I'm ignoring important things and start worrying what people will think of me.

It's too much stress for me! So this is a really cool alternative.
