Interpreting the current social media landscape the only way I know how: through the lens of #LOTR.

So as much as I miss the exciting news and buzz of being on the Hellbird site, I really enjoy being here the most. Blue Sky feels kind of empty, whereas Threads feels kind of chaotic? The community here seems so much more cozy. I really dig it.

Be More Kind

@kilnfiendpotter Addendum: it took me an embarrassing number of tries to make this meme on mobile. I felt like such a luddite 🥲

@niphette You're eons ahead of me. I don't even want to know how to edit reels on here.

Making memes on mobile is no easy task.

@niphette @kilnfiendpotter Accurate. Mastodon feels like the shire

@niphette @kilnfiendpotter I think I'll stay in the Shire. Nice and cozy with second breakfast and good company

@niphette Mastodon: The only place for second breakfast!

Twitter: Isengard let in violent subhumans who burned it to the ground.

Bluesky: You think it looks peaceful from the outside. Too bad that first drops a doozy.

Mastodon: Simple folk, but strong opinions are still to be had.

Threads: Ruled over by a malevolent force. Will harvest your internal organs for ad revenue.

@niphette @kilnfiendpotter Remember that it is canon that the Shire/Mastodon is taken over by twitter/Isengard and they have to boot them out by force. Be ready!

@niphette @kilnfiendpotter bruh I thought the Twitter one was Imperial City from The Elder Scrolls

@niphette @kilnfiendpotter how much would it cost me to commission someone to design an image of a cartoon Mastodon poking his head out of a hobbit hole with top/bottom text that says "come to the fediverse / we have second breakfast"

@niphette @kilnfiendpotter I guess, going by the books, this means Twitter will be defeated by Threads, but some its forces will still capture and burn Mastodon to the ground?

@mivey @kilnfiendpotter But think how fun it’ll be to rouse the Bucklanders and overthrow Sharkey

@niphette Still looking for my valley of Imladris or all those Rivendell joys, if not Lothlorien, when not pining for the lost Doriath of Livejournal. The Shire doesn't have nearly enough people to hear or know the things I want to know.

@niphette @kilnfiendpotter If we mirror-image Bluesky there so the statues are saluting with their right hands...we see what Jack is perfectly fine with.

@niphette @kilnfiendpotter

I hate to admit it, but while I recognize the bottom three places, I only know the Shire and Mordor.

What do those statues lead to again? I forgot.

And what's the first one?

@niphette @kilnfiendpotter

The Shire is a wonderful choice for Mastodon, and I don't mean to pick nits, but didn't they just rename Twitter to 'Xit?

@lobokai @niphette "Tenit" sure is a weird name.
