Mastodon feels like the future the 1980s promised us. "Oh look, a post from my friend at hacker.space, and what a funny comment from some guy on gaysex.cloud, perhaps I should follow them, they seem witty."

It feels like you could turn a corner and wind up in a tearoom filled with furries discussing existentialism. Across the street are anarchists arguing loudly with socialists about how best to stick it to the capitalists.

Just down the way is a photographer who only takes pictures of bees.

@Longwing This is why I like it here.
It's a far healthier addiction than Twitter could have ever been.

@LexGear @Longwing "Waffles" refers to a recent incident in which the CEO of Blue Sky made it very clear she either doesn't like trans people, or at the very least does not give a fuck about the harassment, hate, and threats they are subjected to.

@LexGear @Longwing

Someone else could explain it better, but the gist was someone compared the argumebts about hate speech is as frivilous as arguing abot pancakes vs waffles. When someone asked about the harassment of trabs people, the CEO replied "Waffles!"
