The fedi experience

@babe me delicately crafting posts about technical issues like trying to coax a coherent answer out of a chatbot with the perfect prompt, except that I need to specify exactly what information I *don't* want.

@tess me trying to get help with a minor technical issue and ending up with a 4 toot thread because of trying to head off all the inevitable replies

@babe the struggle is real

@babe @catsalad It can be a lot some days.

@babe Make the change, it's easy, all it takes is an enormous amount of work

@babe the problem is governments not giving a fuck about OUR data and sending it to a #Microsoft's 365 #Cloud house feces

@babe—and also this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfOREULEqRU

@babe Spoiler: the guy believes he’s helping .

I sometimes wish there would be a button that hides answers that start with a variant of „Not an answer to the question you asked, but …“

@feike I understand the issues around it.

@babe @jack_daniel The guy with the trumpet has escaped the meme and is in the replies.

@babe i've started responding "sorry, I don't use Mastodon"

@babe Honestly, that meme works in reverse, too. I'm the only one on my team who runs Linux on all his machines, and every single time I have some minor hardware or software issue, someone immediately goes "It's because you're using that hobby OS, grow up and use Windows like an adult, why can't you just be normal, what even is a mastodon"

@babe I dont see the problem here!
