VessOnSecurityIn the 90s, we went on the Internet in an attempt to escape the real world. Nowadays we go to the real world in an attempt to escape the Internet.
DJGummikuh@bontchev true dat, only that the real world hasn't become any less shit than in the 90s, quite the opposite. So where to next?
J$@DJGummikuh @bontchev The sixth mass extinction event, obviously.
Officer-involved pooping@DJGummikuh @bontchev there's always MetaFilter, the blue refuge.
John Caveney woke is me🛠️@bontchev @DJGummikuh Infinity and beyond? 🤓
Jamatex@bontchev I posite that in both cases you were escaping stupid people.
Paul McO'Smith III@bontchev honestly, i am spending most of my social media time on BlueSky because it is a lot more like Twitter was 15 years ago. no war, no trump, no brexit; just people chatting merrily along. quite refreshing, really.
a fish named dog ✡️♾️@FishNamedDog @bontchev link to said post? was it from the Judean People's Front, or the People's Front of Judea???
@pavsmith @bontchev https://mastodon.social/@taylorlorenz/113339615131367067 for lorenz's post and also what the hell was that second sentence? genuinely confused.

@FishNamedDog @bontchev oh, and thank you for the link!
Dud (Mx)@pavsmith "The only people we hate more than the Romans is the Judean Peoples' Front!" @FishNamedDog @bontchev
clarebee@bontchev We need a third option.
Stefan Scholl@bontchev speak for yourself. I just fur-scrolled through TikTok and I'm smiling.

Leon Bambrick@bontchev I just wish I was reading this somewhere in the real world, a fortune cookie, the side of a bus, in the dust of the back window of a Kombi van, but nope here we are, again!

Esslar2@bontchev What was that joke from the 60s? "Drugs are for people who can't handle reality and reality is for people who can't handle drugs."

Sean Randall@bermudianbrit @bontchev in the 90's, that'd have risked your electrocution. damned IP67 tech these days.
Clifton Molina@bontchev living in the deep south might shift this calculus slightly, just saying
AskPippa🇨🇦@bontchev I deliberately don't have data on my phone, so I can avoid it when I go out. If I REALLY need it, wifi is available everywhere downtown. But it drives me nuts when I'm hanging out with people who are glued to their phones.

Tacleja Lawson@bontchev true saying I need too do that

SciaticNerd@bontchev This is not the ‘Net I vied for as a young person. The possibilities I dreamed of turned into an interwoven magazine replacement that only knows to funnel targeted ads.
No flying cars or reading of minds, just googobs of metadata being sold off in a fire sale of micro transactions.
Lisa Sky@bontchev if both could just smarten the hell up...
The Doctor@bontchev Can I quote you on that?
✊🏾WiseGuyEddie@bontchev You ever read a post from someone and you think to yourself, "DAMN, I wish I would have said that first". Welp, this is that time for me. Well played Vess.
