That YSK thread from yesterday inspired me to create a new account with an anonymous relay email, instead of my personal email. I’m not sure how much I would’ve actually had to worry about if I kept using my personal email, but I figure it’s better to be safe than sorry.
I also probably could’ve just changed the email in my first account instead of creating a brand new account, but I don’t really know how data is persisted or anything. That was another case of better to be safe than sorry.
This was the first time I personally used a relay email and I’m glad I did. I also made a mastodon account using the same email but I’m curious if I change my mind on that or not. Personally I think you did the right thing just making a whole new account. Chances are you didn’t use the first account long enough for it to matter.
I’m so mad at myself for impulse buying the rtx 3080… can’t wait to switch to team red completely in a couple of years. Or do you think someone is willing to swap their AMD for my nVidia card? 😂
I just started the use the fediverse to get away from Meta (I have a somewhat active Instagram) and Reddit.
Now unfortunately my userbase is going to threads without knowing what it even is. I'm trying to spread awareness about the fediverse but it's like yelling into the void. I signed up for threads and will continue to try to post content about the fediverse, but I also have to have an audience to share my art to as I'm trying to build some interest for a game I'm making.
This really sucks. I feel extremely upset about this whole meta thing. I could continue to try to build from scratch, but I am hoping to release the game next year and I already have 3 years head start on Instagram, it feels bad to also just abandon what I've worked hard on.
I dunno, I'm just venting. I hate Meta. I don't even have a actual Facebook account. Hell I didn't know Facebook owned Instagram until a year in.
I'll just try to continue to stay active on my fediverse accounts. And try to promote the fediverse on the centralized BS networks.
Hey man don’t overthink it. You need a meta product for work or for a project, just use it professionally. You need to think about your own success and go where your audience is.
Now on your personal time if you don’t want the toxicity of those places come to the fediverse and let’s have a nice chat.
I think the goal of the fediverse is not to eat the world but on the contrary to give us alternatives so we can compartmentalize our internet life.
Thank you so much, seeing the whole threads thing ruined my day yesterday night and this morning. I felt like a sense of hopelessness for the future of decentralized platforms.
You're right, I can continue to use both for different purposes.
ikr? iirc it was meant to express some happy positive shit but it gives me vibes of a bloody suffering child giving an exasperated last laugh as he realizes there’s fuck all he can do.
Some clever coding genius should host an instance for a bot they make that stays federated with everyone, and the entire point of the bot is to crawl across posts and anyone posting from Threads gets a nice public reply about why Threads is a toxic instance and they should switch to a non-Meta one immediately.
I had a 5700xt prior to my current 3060 and I’m very tempted to switch back so I can get rid of nvidia’s drivers, getting Wayland functional has been a disaster for me.
I just switched them like a couple weeks ago to give macOS another go, so I’m just being lazy 😅
Android 8 came out 6 years ago. And if your device is locked to Android 8 that means it probably shipped with 6 or 7 which means it’s a 7 or 8 year old phone at this point. I have trouble believing a 6-8 year old android phone is still working very well.
