๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ถ "not yet begun to fight"Pick the best fallacy
Sunk Cost has been my favorite since 1982
Proof by Assertion is best
Why y'all hate Strawman so much
I just heard about Recency Bias
If you don't vote Ad Hominem you're ugly
Any fallacy fan knows No True Scotsman is best
God told me Appeal to Authority is his favorite
"Vote for False Attribution" - Abraham Lincoln
The best is Circular Argument because it's awesome
Category Error is the prettiest fallacy
You said Tu Quoque so I did too
C'mon vote Bandwagon everyone's doing it
Vote Slippery Slope, next thing you're doing drugs
I like turtles and also Non Sequitur Fallacies
If Appeal to Probability can be chosen then it is
Motte-and-Bailey is best, but I meant kinda good
These are all bad and wrong, vote Fallacy Fallacy
Poll ended at .

Ivana DaskalovicHow to make your own private, enshittification-proof social media feed with RSS

"Using RSS to follow the stuff that matters to you will have an immediate, profoundly beneficial impact on your own digital life โ and it will appreciably, irreversibly nudge the whole internet towards a better state," says Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic)
EdjoAs @pluralistic says: "An app is just a web site that we have wrapped in a correct DRM [digital rights management] to make it a felony to protect your privacy while you use it"
the roamerQuotes, she cried, always those blasted Quotes. We don't need no Quotes.
Our Lady Joan Mastodon could be quite direct in her missives when the moment was right. We loved her for it. A quiet murmur of approval spread through the camp.
The lights of thousands of phones shone in the dark as her knights tooted jestpost after jestpost, warding off the swarm of invading Quotes. We knew that Quotes will evaporate when faced with laughter.
Sir Alfred, never a man of many words, stood up and started playing the Tooters' Song on his bagpipe. We all joined in, singing the half-forgotten song as well as we could. Our Lady Joan smiled. My knights are fine fighters, she said, straight tooting will prevail.
The jestposting continued all through the night.

Aurin (ki, ki, kis)Tech people talk about tech too much.
I really really REALLY want to use all the awesome privacy friendly FOSS (and similar) stuff, but I am not a techie person! I don't know how to program, nor do I want to.
And every SINGLE time I try to find out even what thing (OS, program, app, service, etc) to use, let alone how, and I search for it... I get techie-focused answers.
It's complete gibberish to me! Absolutely useless. It makes me feel actively unwelcome even though I really care about using alternatives to Windows, Meta, X and other dystopic nonsense.
For example: I'm like "How do I start a non-enshittified group chat to talk about a thing?" and all the results are technobabble to me. I don't even know if the words they use are supposed to be normal english words or if they refer to orgs or groups or apps or some weird coding wizardry.
I am so lost, every single time.
I stick with it though. But like. I wonder if the tech people realise that this is happening???? Because they probably understand what they're talking about. And they seem to not realise that not everyone does.
I'm not trying to blame or shame anyone or even complaining as such (a little bit complaining, ngl), mostly just giving feedback. This is not an issue with a singe thing but with ALL of it as a whole! Including #GNU #Linux the #Fediverse #Matrix and most #FOSS apps.
My sincere wish: Give non-techie people an EASY TO FIND and easy to read and easy to understand and easy to implement guide about how to use the things as an alternative to using big corporation services, ie, "I just want it to work" and not have to worry about the technical side of things.
