I'm .dk but this is my English language account.
For a super bizarre experience, I posted this yesterday, and it took me a couple of tries. My post kept failing until I replaced "Mastodon" with a weird Unicode representation, and changed "random billionaire" to "random owner".
Is tinfoil hat a good look on me?

To revisit: My main issue with this, as someone who grew up with ad-based flow-tv. Apart from #live sport events, I will not watch ad-supported programming ever again, where it takes 3h15m to watch a 2 hour film, for example.

@AndySnelson
Yeah it's infuriating having to scroll an arbitrary number of hours back down to find your spot. Afaik Fedilab is the only one that does it "right".
@paulobrien
Fedilab and Tusky are both great. Fedilab gets my vote because when I need to "load more messages", I can choose whether the gap is filled above or below. Sometimes it's the little things.
Good to have you here mate.
I see a lot of you guys posting loooooong toots, definitely longer than the 500 chars, to which I seem to be limited.
Is this something that's governed by the individual instances, or am I missing something which I myself could do about it? #tipsfornoobs
@msprout
It's sorta kinda the next logical step in the perpetual dance of "We're looking for someone who is passionate about serving burgers!"
....and "I, dear sir or madam, am ultra passionate about not only serving burgers, but strengthening your brand at the expense of my physical and mental health!"
....and now, "Prove it..."
"The removal of shows from HBO Max means WB Discovery is able to save money in residuals paid to cast and crews of productions, on top of the money saved by not continuing with the shows at all."
So...we give them money to stream the shows. If...if they take the shows away, we will...stop giving them money. Just so they can fuck over people who make the shows we want to pay to watch? How...how does that work?
