we do with spare change (run hacky flaky social network nodes) what titans of industry require billions of dollars to achieve (run hacky flaky social network nodes).
money is clearly fake as fuck.
I'm not sure if I should be surprised or not to learn that Timnit Gebru is on fedi.
Fedi timeline is now populated at about the right level. Probably time to start cutting.
I think the most upsetting thing to find in my feed is thoughtless political boosterism/bashing. (Second most is racial booting/bashing.)
No one instance is bad, but it's just so prevalent. (And so unprincipled.)

If you download your #Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.
So here's a #Python script to convert a Twitter archive to #markdown or other formats: https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser
Now you can archive your tweets in any way you want.
@graf do they actually care about what software you're running, or is it just <why the hell not?>

@WomanCorn If you click on their picture in that summary view it'll open up their page on their instance and that'll show you their full history. I'm puzzled as to why this isn't built into the client.

It's funny to me that there's two sides here, and the two sides are:
Newbies should Lurk More and learn the ways of fediverse, and not just bring Twitter behaviors here.
... unless they're black, in which case asking them to Lurk More is a racism.
(Yes, there are non-stupid versions.)

@Moon @aetios @Mitsu It's a universal experience for men that we buy electronics, are excited to try them out, and find out we can't because we're missing a cable or a stupid little accessory to make it work.
Then one day, after enough of these experiences, a man just snaps. "Never again" That's when the hoarding starts

Lurk More is always good advice if you don't understand the norms of a new place.
