  • “Warez”. That’s a name I’ve not heard for a long time.

  • This works. If OP has a SIM card (vs esim) then it’s easy to move it back and forth between phones as the problem ebbs and flows. I have a $60 “feature” phone (the non-slang name for them) that sits in a drawer and comes out a few times a year to quell the noise.

  • You are, in fact, doom scrolling.

  • gasps right before Christmas? Totally unforseeable!

  • Does GtS not support relays? That’s what everyone uses to seed their new instances. I’m on a single user instance and have thousand of posts from hundreds of instances coming in daily.

  • I appreciate the speed at which my tax refunds are processed annually, but it’s becoming clear that the “pay now, do the math later” philosophy isn’t working. I read somewhere that philosophy is deliberate in order to make the CRA look more efficient. I guess it’s just become more efficient at being defrauded which sucks.

  • That is a good book.

    Re: downvoting; I think it’s just knee jerk reaction to any suggestion Facebook can do anything good. I have the same reaction but, like you, there’s a specific group I belong to that doesn’t exist elsewhere and it’s one of the few groups that isn’t toxic or hysterical.

  • This is not an airport. You don’t have to announce your departure. You can just leave.

  • You can’t just say blocked. It doesn’t work that way. #michaelscott

  • psst. It’s the federation.

  • What a bizarre thing to think.

  • This comment hurts my brain. There’s a lot more to the fediverse than a single app.

  • I’ve been surprised to find that females in my circle consider dude gender neutral.

  • Some (all?) of the apps just wrap the FB website so they can’t really tell what’s happening to block it or could do so without hitting a bunch of innocents.

  • Addling a vote for Fastmail. It’s great, priced right, privacy centric, has wicked 1Passwold integration (including disposable email addresses) and nerdy features for those who want them.
