@pee_zombie way too much hentai on the federated TL

I really do not like the flimsiness of the distinction between DMs and regular posts here: it’s very easy to mess up

Best Mastodon clients for iPhone? I’d ideally like one that lets me fine-tune the push notifications I get (e.g. lets me set it to get notified for replies but not for likes)

@pee_zombie theoretically, could this server be moved from Mastodon to Pleroma without interruption? I have no opinion about whether this would be worthwhile, but a couple people in the groupchat where the big wave of new members came from were complaining about Mastodon.

I decided as an experiment to go without my contact lenses for a few weeks and wear (relatively low-strength) reading glasses constantly. I'm curious if this will reduce my nearsightedness.

Is Signal down for other people or just me?

The British Empire is proof that the actual most powerful force in the universe is repressed homosexuality.

@mattparlmer finally listening to your podcast with Eigen. Loved the discussion of Bostonian physiognomy

Finally muted notifications on the Signal groupchat and it's a huge quality of life improvement.

@pee_zombie have you thought about reaching out directly to anyone on Twitter and asking if they would be willing to move their posting here? It's a bit quiet still.

Same thing happened the last two times I quit Facebook (2013 and 2014, for a few weeks only each time), so the feeling isn't unfamiliar but remains embarrassing.

I finally deactivated my Facebook and Instagram accounts today, and it's thrown into sharp relief how much of my use of them was just physical reflex. I've caught myself several times in a moment of boredom unthinkingly making the muscle movements to open a new tab and start typing "inst" in the address bar, without any conscious desire to actually see what was on Instagram.
