The Ghost of Émilie@futureisfoss So... essentially we're just hoping for the best, right? 🥸
@futureisfoss In that movie, most of the planet, I think, turned into desert, and there were daily, massive dust storms.
@futureisfoss That city, in that picture, that's a desert. It didn't used to be.
@futureisfoss No one was left. They had all either died or gone into space, and these corporations... They invented a product that would "clean up earth" while people were away, and those were the WALL-E robots... so for hundreds of years, these WALL-E robots would stack cubes of garbage, and make them into towers. It didn't actually do anything, of course... the garbage was still there... it was just "neatened" a little bit. #Apocalypse
@futureisfoss I 🤍 my threads... It makes me feel like I'm building something, like those WALL-E robots.
@futureisfoss And... the WALL-E robots pretty much failed... There were thousands of them, broken and destroyed everywhere, and even though they were supposed to clean up the garbage, they became garbage themselves.
@futureisfoss And what could they do with it? Garbage take up space, and the planet was out of space, so all they could really do is shuffle it around a bit.
@futureisfoss That's how bad it was in the movie.
@futureisfoss And then maybe I could throw it on my website so we could... look at it and decide how it should be presented or something... 👀
@futureisfoss Perhaps we should try to answer the question "Why should people watch this podcast...?"
Sooooo, what do you think a "list of podcasts" needs to have? I think... it needs to have the podcasts on there, they should be arranged alphabetically (so that none appear "better" than the others), and there should be a "personal reflection" to go along with the podcast. I also think the cover art of the podcast should be on there, as well as some other miscellaneous details like how long the podcast has been going, how many episodes there are, and what each episode's average length is.
Also, what the podcast is about should be on there... so people can have an idea of if they want to watch the podcast or not.
I guess the idea here is... if the list of podcasts has all the things it needs, it should be "done."
Rokosun@thebiologist1117 I think we only need a link to the main podcast website, and their RSS feed (very important!), and maybe a little description about what the podcast is about or just mention its genre. Any more info can be found on the links we provide.
I was gonna say something... hm... forgot what it was...
@thebiologist1117 Don't worry Em, it happens to me too 
Mkay, so... Another reason I like long threads is... if you post, then reply to yourself, it shows up in everyone's home timelines... and if you do that 5, 10 times in a row, it can be annoying... But if you reply to someone else, the post gets dropped from people's home timelines and stays in the thread, so it's neater. That doesn't work on instances that include replies in the home timeline, obviously.
It also gets added to the replies section on your profile instead of the posts section, so the "start" of threads gets added to your posts, and all of the replies get added to your replies... so it's neater there, too.
Anyway, if you're constantly starting new threads, it's hard to get someone to reply to you so you can keep talking... But if you stay on old threads, you can talk as long as you want without spamming, since it's always a reply to someone else.
I just had an idea... What if we used a hashtag for our "group" that we all check? Then we could avoid always mentioning each other, and we could just know to check the #z hashtag for group posts, for example?
Does that make sense? Using a single hashtag instead of lots of mentions? It would also be easier to avoid hellthreads, then, too.

Oh my God, I'm genius! I really like that idea. 💡
Also, when your posts are replies to other people and they get "dropped" from the home timelines, you can choose to reblog them to bring them back to the posts section of your profile... So you get a lot more fine-grained control over which posts show up in the posts section of your profile.
@catswhocode Cats Who Code, do you know? 👀

Long threads can be confusing, but I like chatting with you, so..... 🤷

No Em, I haven't seen the movie. Would you recommend it? I didn't watch that youtube video BTW.
