Describing fedi to my friends:
@[email protected] and what if they met GPAs?
@iora I'm pretty sure gay pirate assassins are also fedi users
@tosia Tom Scott is the kind of guy that would totally make a video about fediverse if he knew about it
@sarasapfir @tosia but he knows it, and in fact has an account 👉 @tomscott
@sarasapfir @tosia He mentioned Mastodon in a talk once https://youtu.be/leX541Dr2rU?t=3278
There is No Algorithm for Truth - with Tom Scott

YouTube
@luna @tosia @xarvos @inexcode well now that's kind of sad.
@sarasapfir The talk overall was against centralization and algorithms but Tom definitely is the kind of person that would call out any kind of progressive movement if it isn't appealing to the average person. I'd say the situation has probably improved since 2019 though
@tosia
is this real?
@therealkuu @tosia I don't think it is. The original is from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVDQEoe6ZWY

@therealkuu @tosia the original screencap is at 6 min 27 seconds, and the original text is: "[bleep] VPN, the best choice for gay people, pirates, assassins, and gay pirate assasins".
@daniel_bohrer @tosia wow thanks for researching that ^^
@therealkuu @tosia no worries, just a regular Tom Scott fanboy, I have those all in my head :D

@tosia is that image from the VPN video in which he redacted the name of the VPN provider?

@tosia congrats i think this is the most boosted post on the instance
@sfr I'm honestly shocked 
@tosia 1st of all you might wanna silence that thing's notifications
but also
i have heard popular posts kill servers, so uh, this might disappear one day because of admin decisions oops
@sfr well, all of my past posts disappeared from koyu twice, so I'm used to it by now  
Also thanks for the advice I had no idea you can silence those notifications 
@tosia @sfr its possible you left the auto-delete feature turned on in koyu
@Jessica @tosia i think what is being referred to is the fact koyu died twice
@sfr @Jessica yup, that's what I meant
@tosia @sfr i would probably stoll be using mastodon of niu was still around 
@sfr @tosia that is also true  
Dodntbknow about that but did know koyu has auto delete pre enabled
@tosia I can confirm that 😛

@tosia oh, that's a beach. I thought it was a desert.

Well that's so much better then.

@tosia Do you happen to remember which video this was from? My wife and I both agree it is something that @tomscott would say, but we can't think of the context.
@rbairwell The video was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVDQEoe6ZWY and the original quote was: "[...] VPN, the best choice for gay people, pirates, assassins, and gay pirate assassins."
