@joby if you told me ten years ago I would consider doing that, I would have laughed. If you told me five years ago, I would have said, "that seems extreme."

Today it sounds like a pretty good idea.

@neverbeaten

@neverbeaten @joby or for me, I will probably keep coming to your site and then immediately leaving with a great feeling of resentment until I remember to tell Kagi to never show me your stupid fucking site in search results again.

@vkc i've had a couple of posts blow up to genuinely large levels and have seen what you mean with the vile stuff. Makes me wonder if social media is a good idea at all.

@tankgrrl with a little bit of this maybe

@masek i was JUST wondering about all this!

Any server recs for my mom? She's a 70-something knitter and progressive living in New England, and she just quit Facebook for good.

She's into fiber art, yoga, science, progressive politics, and dachshunds. (yeah, I know. I have a cool mom.) Where should she find her home?

I've checked out the @FediTips guide, which is great. Just looking for more personal recommendations.

@rasterweb I've always cracked up (and also cried) at the idea that it's the professors who are turning students progressive.

Ummm, I've got a secret to tell you...it's the books and learning, people. Try it sometime.

(Of course, plenty of right wingers know that, but it's a lot easier to convince people that woke professors are bad than to convince people that ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY AND LEARNING is bad.)

@lislegaard oh wow, that movie looks awesome. I'm definitely gonna check it out.

Adam Curtis is so in my head at this point that I hear him narrating current events.

@kaneel

@kaneel @lislegaard

@lislegaard warning: you cannot unwatch that movie and you will start seeing its points in lots of places that you look.

(okay, that was a dramatic way to say it, but that's how it happened to me anyway.)

@VeroniqueB99 haha that's exactly what I imagine was said in the meeting

@VeroniqueB99 should have said Texas. (Also, that's hilarious.)

@sarae this right here is one of the three primary uses of music.

Battlin', movin', and meditatin'.
