Too much Mastodon/Fediverse content is people bragging about how virtuous and principled they are for leaving Twitter.

I am a monkey, and I am here to do monkey business.
Nothing wrong with preferring it here and saying why, but some people just have to preen and it’s annoying
If you drank Schlitz Malt Liquor mixed with Kool-Aid in the 1970s, would the bull and the Kool-Aid Man smash through different walls?
The concept of racial integration is more controversial now than it has been at any time since the early-1960s.
So, if I’m understanding this correctly, Adam and Eve in the Garden lived forever until they ate the fruit. There was a non-zero chance of eating the fruit (we know this since they did, in fact eat it). If a choice is repeated endlessly until a particular option is taken, and there’s a non-zero chance of choosing that option, isn’t it a 100% certainty that that choice will be made at some point? So God basically put them in a position where it was inevitable they would eat the fruit, and then punished them when they did.
In a way, this is analogous with Christian doctrine, which teaches that sin is a) inevitable, and b) worthy of punishment. I can’t really dig that.
Something my server instance needs; a way to detect if I’ve already seen a boosted post. That Oatmeal comic about the evolution of the Internet is great, but I don’t need to see it four times on my timeline.
The Fediverse is already annoying me with all the left-wing takes; I won’t consider it a proper substitute for Twitter until I start getting annoyed by right-wing takes as well.
You can tell at a glance which users are from mastodon.social: they’re the ones with the broken avatars.
Here’s the thread that convinced me Twitter is about to die: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1593541177965678592?refresh=1668918473
Early in the film Putney Swope, the new CEO takes over the advertising firm, and says, “I’m not here to rock the boat. Rocking the boat’s a drag. What you gotta do is sink the boat!”
No idea why I just started thinking about that scene.
