I'm sort of coming to terms with bluesky suddenly dominating the conversation because they actually successfully addressed a lot of fedi's issues even if they're Like That and actually care about what community they're building. now if only they had feature parity with mastodon and their app wasn't horribly busted

but the rest of it though. ouch. this is a community solely built by experienced software engineers and nobody else with zero consideration for how people will actually use it in practice and you can feel it

and actual private accounts and content warnings. love those, making posts opt in is really good for my mental health because I can just post whatever and not have people complain about it

that being said there are not that many platforms with the affordances I get on here which is why I'm still sticking around. I like the extended character limit and use formatting in my posts every so often

I've seen way too many admins burn out and shut their doors because hosting anything is financially and emotionally expensive, even more people just giving up due to the culture on here being hostile to them, and in general it just feels kinda stagnant with nobody new coming in. I'm hard pressed to find similar people on here because nearly everyone is just some 30-40 year old that only ever talks about linux

I'm starting to feel more and more like fedi is just cooked at this point ngl

So are we going to ignore this part of the Toy Story 5 trailer or

I think youtube should let you just block channels from being recommended to you ahead of time, I got a community post in the related videos section underneath a video on my phone that was flashing extremely quickly and that could easily cause someone to have a seizure if they're unlucky enough

"tf hazard," "weed that turns you into X," and other phrases that make me feel uncomfortable and like you're ignoring my boundaries

and another secret early title animation test if you press left when setup is highlighted on disc 1 this thing has three whole easter eggs lmao

eblu @eblu@wetdry.world
just so you know there's an extra behind the scenes video hidden on disc 1 if you hit up on the main menu until the logo gets highlighted. and an early animation test hidden on disc 2 if you keep hitting left while "humans" is highlighted
