A rabid democratic partisan extremist, shapeshifter, demigod of the wind and sea, hero of men, and centrist fascist collaborator!

AKA, a suburban dad!

@intelgraphy I'm not seeing an issue. As far as I know, anyone, including Meta, should be able to set up a #fediverse instance and participate. Instance owners are free to block it for their users if they like, and users can also block the domain.

So far, I like the ability to follow users on Threads here. I'm on both platforms, as are many people.

@BlackAzizAnansi I believe he deleted it quietly hoping no one would notice...

🤣

@ouinne Wow. Yeah, I'm sure that the issue is the explosion of the size and number of block lists and those just keep growing the more that the trolls are enabled and come out from under their rocks. It will cause an explosion of dogpiling onto those that the trolls want to run off of Stupid-X...
@DataDrivenMD Also this, it is getting expensive to honor the significant increases in the size of blocking lists. I know a few who have >10k on their list and all of that has to be scanned and honored before anyone's feed can be populated. Basically the X-obsessed billionaire made Blocking Great Again and has figured out it costs a lot of server resources. 🤣
@shoq Yeah, it basically makes dogpiling much easier and will cause an explosion of harassment and abuse...

For those wondering, ′′how did i do it?":
I boiled 10L of water, added 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate, two cups of coke, and half cup of lemon juice, then stirred well. Waited 3 minutes, put the pan in the solution for 45 minutes, then added a quarter cup of chlorine bleach to the mixture. Then I brushed it with a firm toothbrush and put it back into the liquid for another 25 minutes. I took it out, rinsed it, and it looked exactly the same, so I threw it away, and went and bought a new one.

Edit: Please don’t actually make this concoction! The resulting mixture may produce poisonous gases! This toot is a joke, the pictures are not even my pans. I didn’t throw any pans away. Following these directions, despite the fact it probably won’t do anything useful, would be fucking stupid and you may win a Darwin Award.
