trump assumes that because he sucks up, that putin is his peer. putin knows how easy trump is to manupulate, this first act after him winning shows that he knows exactly how to play him. my hope is that trump is too stupid to realize it because else there will be a dick waving contest among the two most nuclear armed countries in history…
yes. I’m not sure how unironically it’s meant but it doesn’t matter when you have a group of boys yelling “hawk tuah” and “your body, my choice” at a 12 year old girl. I’ve got boys so they have been insulated but my best friend has girls and he’s getting unbelievably pissed off.
right now I consider my fediverse and self hosted stuff as my ‘real’ profile. bluesky falls into the same category as linkedin, a necessary evil for my ‘professional’ profile.
So no, I won’t be leaving mastodon (or lemmy).
Sigh, here we go again. I jumped on board because it’s where my friends are. Was pleasantly surprised that most of my old twitter follows are already there. Still, given the history I’m being careful and ready for the next enshittification exodus.
I wish folks would just embrace self hosting and decentralization but we obviously love to make the same mistakes again, and again, and again…
same reason we just elected donald fucking trump. people will always take the easy option that makes them feel good.
