Patricia AasIt’s really quite annoying how Twitter and Reddit are proving all the fedi diehards right.
DeepBlue V7.X@Patricia Agreed, even though I am a decentralization diehard. But when has any I-told-you-so actually felt good? It's just sad.
Peter Brett@deepbluev7 @Patricia I agree! On literally every occasion where I could say, "I told you so," it's because something bad has happened.
Cassandrich@Patricia Welcome back. 😁
Lyle Solla-Yates@Patricia the argument of “well Twitter did it so” is upsettingly powerful
Jeff Atwood@Patricia you misspelled AWESOME 😉
apalu@codinghorror @Patricia Fingers crossed for the microsoft "make Windows a cloud subscription" rumor, this may actually, finally be...
The Year... of...
...the Linux Desktop.

I mean with Valve releasing the steam deck this already happened last year

I'm definitely taking the step towards Linux again. I was quite annoyed by a ton of stupid things about Windows 10, rejecting the many nag requests to upgrade to 11, and now this. I'm out.
I was already only using Windows for gaming anyway, and Linux gaming seems to be pretty reliable these days, so I'm going to give that another try.
Werner@Patricia This is home now :3
shadow_absorber@Patricia yeah annoying but also potentially helpful to get more people to realize and join... hopefully the moderation of communities on here can stay afloat and not drag down the fediverse
@shadowabsorber @Patricia That's actually something I like about the Fediverse (there are plenty of other things of course!). You have different instances with different moderation rules, so you can pick one with rules that actually match you. With Twitter it always felt like screaming at a wall. But yes, scalability is an issue, especially since many mods and admins are volunteers doing this out of passion. So please respect your instances rules and pick a different one if it becomes an issue!
@deepbluev7 @Patricia yeah if there is ever to big problems here shadow will migrate if possible... the problem shadow tried to address in that previous post is how a few instances of mastodon had to die because a to huge influx of users making it impossible to cover the costs of moderation and servers
@shadowabsorber @Patricia Oh, yeah, I didn't mean it as you causing problems. I just wanted to add that I really like the moderation here and that I am concerned about the mods! Sorry, I probably didn't word it well!
@deepbluev7 @Patricia oh right.. yeah moderation here is very nice and so far shadow has not had any problems with it.... nice that you like it here and enjoy your stay
azul@Patricia Aaah! Welcome back!! I'm glad you're here.
(I was blissfully unaware that anything was going on until I saw this message on my feed. 😅)
Matt@Patricia @codinghorror meanwhile Bluesky is down and the unencrypted DMs of a whole masto server and anyone who interacted with that server are now owned by the FBI due to a lack of privacy foresite so… not going great anywhere right now.
@mattdarveniza @Patricia hard things are hard
Kensan@Patricia I only wanted to escape to a quieter, more personable place…
Matt Blaze@Patricia I think the longer I'm here (and elsewhere), the less I care. All I really want a stable, relatively Nazi-free platform where my friends happen to be.
Jacob TorreyQuite refreshing once you get the FOMO out of your system and no longer care about the drama elsewhere
@mattblaze I guess I just haven’t found another place that works as well for my brain yet… but I’m trying. By being everywhere 😅
