Is the Fediverse (or thrediverse specifically) going to follow the way of the old web?

People using their communities to link to like communities because the fediverse/thrediverse is so vast and it’s not as easy to navigate?

We should stop saying "The customer is always right" because it's not true

In the grand scheme of things, the customer may have slightly more pull than the cashier ringing up their order, but it’s the CEO and the board of directors that control the narrative. That’s why we’re getting bigger and less fuel efficient vehicles, bigger and more fattening meal portions in restaurants, and bigger less...

Improved Steam & menu buttons?

I’ve always been somewhat disappointed with the responsiveness and tactile feel of the steam/menu buttons beneath the track pads. Is anyone out there selling clickier replacements for these?

Right now I just use the body of my image posts and write something like “alt text: meme name and used text”.
