@alice I will not support this troll hate, they may look weird and scary but they're actually very kind and considerate. They have been great business partners for several years.
Also they don't really know how to use a computer, so I don't know why you're bringing them up!
We also accept donations in the form of bowls of milk, we also accept GNOME Pay.

@alice To be clear, this is a joke and I don't support trolls. People have thought that jokes that I consider obvious were defending shitty people before.

And this incident has made me salty, you know who your are, you acted like this was Twitter and ignored me saying that it was a joke to mock these shitty people.

@alice@lgbtqia.space I'll probably never understand why that "need help with insulin" spammer are always asking but never left a link.
Why do they keep doing that? -

Great post. While we’re at it (as I’ve posted about a few times), make this #fedifirst - As in, post here on Mastodon with your content. Don’t force me to go off-site so that you get ad revenue.

@alice I'm just triggered by the endrant closing without a startrant opening. Feels wrong. Unmatched brackets.
(JOKE))But i am thinking of starting to filter some of the links to the more annoying ad filled sites.
Oh an bots that repeat the headline text twice and then again in the links preview. -

Re: Reply Guys
People get to the Fedi from the walled-garden social media platforms of Billionaires. They're used to having their feeds curated by algorithms, which censor them, keep their feeds full of friction-less, flattering posts, calculated to make the platform "sticky", for the sake of corporate bottom-lines. When folks get to the Fedi, they're suddenly rawdogging the planet's voices & are shocked that strangers across the Earth can read their toots, worse — reply to them.

I can't be the only one who had to look up sea lions (searching for it along with "reply guy" got me past the cute mammals). Here you go:
