Hey buddy are you food, have you got food? Rinse repeat.

Or, ahhhh go away. Run for the hills.

Or, what's with the lack of fur, what a freak.

It feels like a wasteland. But then the tech accounts all left for mastodon. All I am left with is weird cycle rage cringe. That I try so desperately to not interact with.

I use ddg everyday and I hate it. I resort to Google shortly after. Not personalised so I guess I am missing out on decent returns.

I don't know how deep copilot delves, and if it has access to all repos, but I am not comfortable with that. I am not even comfortable with a major player such as MS having access to intellectual gold.

Did they? Alive and kicking in the UK.

I have no clue which previous server I signed up to. And looking through themed servers I found one with an interest, but it's hardly my only interest and was met with welcome text saying post something interesting.

It's where the people are. I don't use Facebook in the main, but there is a local neighborhood group that I feel I have to subscribe to.

You don't always get to pick the venue.

Discoverability and onboarding and authentication is hard.

I remember the fluffy days of Facebook, where almost in an instant there was a wildfire of 'you might know' suggestions, from harvested addressbooks and cross referencing.

I found, and find discoverability hard on Twitter. My follow list rarely gets bumped and I am pretty clueless as to who and what is in it. I have to make an effort to grow the list.

Tweet reach may be massaged by favs, comments and retweets. Not totally sure how this is different in Mastodon.

Are we talking timeline/search promotion?

I remember email round robins pre Facebook and you did add people if you recognised them.

Directory services just got pulled as they were harvested by spammers. Not that I think this would help. You need some nudging.

If I read an article and the author had an easy lookupable and addable feed, I might note it.

Why can't it get enough reach?

What if each news outlet ran their own server? Or would this feel like bondage with people wishing for multiple personas/autonomy?

Is this a good explainer? There is a barrier to most tech. I remember joining a server and not going much further a few years back.

Seen lots of people saying this is me I think on Mastodon.

I just lick it clean and put it back in the drawer.

Ukraine shows how fragile and dangerous the reliance on reactors is. If the world can't behave responsibility.

The long term costs of nuclear are just crap. You would be better investing in battery tech to store renewable energy.
