Why do People Choose BlueSky Over Mastodon?
  • People don't care about federation. Or vendor lock-in.

    I haven't tried bluesky, but mastodon seems a little broken by design. I'd you go to a post you are always told that the host server may have more replies. Things like that make it seem immature and perhaps just a bad solution compared to a monolithic approach.

    If you don't like the instance (why wouldn't I?) you can just move to a different one. Yes, and restart my network. It's not really a good solution. I would like to exist on mastodon and just use some server. If I don't like it, continue somewhere else.

  • What's the dumbest way you've seen someone get fired?
  • A salesman for the company forged sales orders. As soon as the company started billing the supposed customers he was discovered and asked to leave immediately. No severance (which you by law are entitled to), just leave, and we won't file charges. I have no idea what possessed him to do something so stupid....

  • Teens Want Less Sex in Movies and TV Shows, Study Finds
  • In the 80'ies and 90'ies there was a mandatory sex scene in any action movie. I feel those kinda went away in the aughts. Now that we need at leas one major gay or bi or trans character in everything we have at least one scene of someone kissing someone of their own gender, often followed by cuddling.

    So not only did they bring back sex or at least a big focus on people making out, but they're doing it at a time when TVs have grown a LOT! Filling the frame with a kiss was sort of ok on a 24" screen, but having my 77" TV portray lips on lips, corner to corner is just not something I need for every single piece of modern media I'm trying to enjoy!

  • THANK YOU
  • Is no one going to comment on the "magnified five times under a microscope"? Five times? What kind of weak, low refraction plastic lens, cost of bubblegum microscope are you using to magnify your enormous monster ants?

  • When you see grandma has arrived
  • My daughter has always had a very close relationship with my mom. In the beginning of covid they didn't see eachother for a few months, except over video chat. When we finally had them over, in the outdoors, my daughter, who was 2 at the time had a very simple reaction: she collapsed on the grass as soon as she saw her in the distance. We had to pick her up off the grass. She spent the next half hour hugging her grandmother.
