The Nagoya Basho starts today! New #Ozeki #Kirishima takes his name from his oyakata's hometown in southern #Japan, which is where I live. Hoping he can get at least 10 wins and begin his ascent to the yokozuna ranking! #sumo
#Mastodon or #Threads?
#Threads or #Mastodon?
I just know that I I don't want to go back to Twitter. It's become a intoxic hell hole. I'm more miserable when I leave than when I went in. I need to learn to use the news and trending features on Mastodon. Maybe one of the problems with Mastodon is that it has too many options. That's not a bad thing, but for most users, it could be a turn off.

There's a recycling shop on my way to work and they always have bikes lined up outside. I always think about getting one but I haven't yet. Not sure if biking would be better than walking. I guess I need to check up on that. But biking is more attractive than walking as an exercise I would think. Or maybe I'm just lazy. lol
This is basically an ad for TikTok, which I will probably never use, but it's good article to explain how the influence of Twitter has died. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/07/07/twitter-dead-musk-tiktok-public-square/
How Twitter lost its place as the global town square

Twitter is hemorrhaging relevance, and Meta's Threads made an impressive debut, but TikTok is the social media app to beat.

#Threads is okay if you want to build an huge base for whatever reason, but I'm thinking that #mastodon is the better choice for a personal place. I just need to learn to use it better.
@Runyan50 Exactly.
@pivoinebleue Try again.
@pivoinebleue Talk about distorting what happened. This is a good example. You talk like the Duchess got out of the car and killed the woman herself.
@nf3xn Who cares about Russia's problems? Until they get out of Ukraine, the more problems they have, the better.
