You said you didn’t understand why people use Twitter, mastodon, or bluesky. I explained why I, and a bunch of others, use bluesky and why Twitter sucks. Is that ok?

Really? You got booted off of X during the election too?

I joined bluesky a year ago to check it out. There wasn’t much happening on it at the time, so I got bored of it real quick. It was like the original version of Twitter. The day after the election, I got on X to see what kind of shit show was going on there, but my account was permanently suspended. I was just on there the day before the election with no problem. I rarely posted anything on it, but I have made some left leaning posts in the past. Like, 2 years in the past. Kinda weird to suspend my account right after the election. Whatever, I was never a big X user. So, I opened bluesky to see if it improved at all, and holy shit, it’s bopping. It’s still like old Twitter. It’s open source, no ads at all, and they make it really convenient to find accounts to follow with “starter packs”. I gotta say, I love it. There are almost no fake accounts or bots. They get weeded out pretty quick. That’s become my new Twitter, and Lemmy is my Reddit.

Ween, Dead Milkmen, Gwar, Nomeansno, Hansen Brothers, Pink n Brown, Jesus Lizard, Moistboyz, Stormtroopers of Death.

You mean there’s good news out there?

Are they still advertising all that “He gets us” ad crap? I left reddit almost a year ago and haven’t had the pleasure of seeing one every 5 posts anymore.

🤣🤣 omg me too! I used to think the p was silent. Lol

AAAAAAAH! WTF IS THAT?! KILL IT!

Do you happen to have any more invite codes? I’ve been wanting to check out bluesky for a while now.

Yep. And that’s why it hasn’t been touched in 10 years. We grind fresh coffee in this house. And none of that weak Drip shit either. Cappuccino strength only. Stove top moca pot.

🤷‍♀️

I have a 10 year old emergency stash.

The subreddits were becoming more and more toxic in the comments, and any attempts at defending oneself just results in getting banned.

I got attacked for using the wrong terminology, to which I politely told the commentor to go fuck themselves. I got banned for a week. So I made another account and contacted the mods. We argued, they banned me, I made another account, etc.

I was finally contacted by the main moderator of the sub, who actually conversed with me. We reached an agreement and my bans were lifted. However, Reddit Inc. permabanned me and all my accounts, email, everything. I had even contacted the mod of the sub, but unfortunately, Reddit had taken away all the mod tools that allowed the mods to change it.

This wasn’t the only time this kind of thing had happened. Anytime I made a post, I would get ripped apart in the comments. I’d eventually tell them to fuck off and then I’d get banned for being mean in the comments. I’m sorry, but if I’m getting attacked over stupid shit like installing a stove in my skoolie or commenting supportively on other peoples posts, I will fully go off on you and call you out PUBLICLY. If it gets out of hand, I turn it over to the mods.

Reddit is an absolute shit show at this point. Good riddance.

Every motel room has had someone die in it at some point in its history. I always chuckle a little when a new maid tells me they’ve heard that room 24 is haunted. I didn’t tell her that there have been 3 different deaths in 3 different rooms just in the year and a half I’ve worked there. Sometimes i want to say, “All the rooms are haunted” and stare at them blankly, just long enough to make it uncomfortable. Then just walk away.
