violence as a means to an end, pragmatically, has enormous costs,

The people I’m talking about (the worst ones) don’t even have an “end.” No plan at all. The violence is the end. It’s pure stupidity. I see it as the lust for violence, coming up with some politics to justify itself.

I honestly think self-righteousness pushes people away. It’s why I can barely stand bluesky. During the big exodus from reddit, all these so-called far-lefties (who I think were just reddit goons doing infiltration) were all screaming for everybody to defederate. Even now, I keep arguing against idiots posting “kill a cop” or “kill fascists” memes, like this is literally an “advocate violence” platform. I don’t expect to pull big numbers with that kind of shit.

Social media is kinda washed up. A lot of people are on substack, too. The internet as a place is just less popular, I think. We’re all getting sick of it.

In theory the fediverse is not a monolith. We actually want for this to not work.

Debian. You’ll have the same (amazing) package manager without the extra ubuntu stuff. Find a desktop manager that supports the stylus (I assume Gnome and KDE Plasma both will support it).

Just make sure to enable non-free packages.

This time we’re cheering… but he’s correct, so the meme still works structurally.

aaaand out the window we go!

Don’t they have a web app too?

This is the answer.

Hire Steve Bannon as a marketer?

They already disappeared around 2017 when Steve Bannon’s racist troll armies flooded every single social media site or app. The auto-immune reaction killed the host, which I suspect was the point.

I’m very happy with my EndeavourOS installation. It’s arch-based, but with easier installation and some apps to help maintain the system. I’ve had it on my T16 for more than 2 years now.

Fedora is probably the most obvious choice though, since you’ve already used it.

Funny personalities don’t make people laugh, and therefore aren’t really funny. They’re more patronizing and infantalizing.

Should I explain that not all planets live in the same Federation? I’m thinking no.

I think you’ve already gone astray from really explaining the (relatively simple) relationship between federated instances. It’s already confusing because you’re trying to make it fun.

I say, give your app whatever functionality you think is best, and the aesthetic/style/personality you think is best, but don’t worry about making the fediverse “fun.” Fun descriptions actually distract from the information.

I think it’s also appropriate here, and I appreciate seeing the question (and possible answers) here.

I eat fairly healthy and I go to the gym.

Yep. Our destiny is space or annihilation.

The eventual annihilation of our species casts a shadow over everything we do. Because we’re ultimately working for something temporary, which will be followed by ultimate death and infinite silence.

However, entering or exiting cities is a legit nightmare.
