It's funny because, while not a 1-for-1 cultural fit, Mastodon's site structure has felt much closer to Tumblr's. I feel like the reason Twitter people keep saying Mastodon's insufficient (while, eventually, flocking to BlueSky) is that BlueSky offers a more similar UX, in terms of shunting you along algorithmically. I don't think there's any issue with Mastodon's UI (other than maybe PixelFed, I think it's the closest Fediverse project to other mainstream social media UI) but I suspect the UX isn't quite right for people expecting Twitter.
However, I, as a Tumblr transplant, felt right at home.
…honestly, throw some ham on that and I think it wouldn't be half bad.
Hate that you put the sweet on the same plate as the savory but you did a great job: it looks delicious.
So…the proper correction turned out to be much less dire.
I saw this, reposted to Twitter, just the other day…
Don't embarrass yourself any further.
Very first reaction I had and thankful I wasn't the only one…
I mean, I have to assume they meant "oppose" and just mistyped.
My parents were absolute craftsmen of that particular school of thought.
Understanding disability thought and theory is one of the foundations of marginalization justice but one of the most invisible such that, once you understand certain tenants, it's impossible not to see the impact of their ideas in everything in daily life.

I mean, last insane homeless person I ran into threw his arm around me like we were lifelong buddies and told me all the things he'd seen that day that he found cool/interesting, not tried to assault me.
Why you always gotta go and make things so complified…
I was reading an article where he claimed he wasn't as hardline, as some, and his immigration policies were actually motivated by the guaranteed safety to everyone when we follow the rules (he gave the example of a migrant nearly dying from falling down a ravine during zir trek).
…
Anyway, color me surprised~
Associating this man is an insult to the mentally disabled, actually.
I mean, that's the biggest counter-argument I've always seen against it. Similar to being against capital punishment: sure, you could perfectly execute (pun slightly intended) it if it was a perfect system devoid of bias and personal interest but, in the face of that lack of reality, giving that much power to the State is inadvisable on reality-based principle.
You're assuming they wouldn't find this agreeable to get rid of "undesirables".
It's the nature of conservatives to break things into simple concepts and metrics that are easy to comprehend and conceptualize because facing the nuance and complexity of reality requires work and bravery.
Dual-booting was how I first got into Linux; it truly leaves open the ability to keep everything you're worried about not having.
What's the VPN?
But I'm not talking about jumping to any buffer, right? I'm talking about jumping to any window configuration.
Incidentally, you can easily still use tabs without taking up any further space. Turning off tab-bar
mode will hide the tab bar, at the top, but you can still switch tabs (just without the visual cue).
