It Takes Two is such a fun game to play with a friend. Highly recommended.

Jesus christ, what about hateful idiot.

He’s doing exactly what Putin asked.

You’re literally the one nitpicking the analogy lmao.

you literally started it ¯_(ツ)_/¯ - apologies for not phrasing it properly, English is not my first language.

Enjoy your cost of living crisis

que miedo 😱

Burgerland

🤣

apologies for not exactly spelling it out for you - is the US actively bombing innocent cubans? I get it, there’s a torture camp- wish it didn’t exist. analogies don’t have to be perfect.

Google‘s or Apple‘s push notification servers turns out that doesn’t matter so much from what I undertstood.

Can you elaborate? It’s my understanding that push notifications are only used to trigger Signal to check if there are messages - the message data and who/what triggered it is not being sent to Google/Apple. If you don’t trust push notifications, you can always use a De-google’d phone and the Signal APK which will fallback to polling the server; this will obviously impact battery life as the app needs to constantly be checking for new messages.

in this scenario, does florida invade cuba first?

… up to 12,000 North Korean troops are training in Russia’s Far East in preparation to fight alongside Moscow.

North Korean soldiers were being disguised as Russians and were acting under the Kremlin’s command instead of their own, South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun reported to lawmakers Thursday, his office told NBC News.

And I answered it? There are multiple wealthy people involved. Do you expect the full name, address, and social security number of every individual? I don’t care to do all that research for you. My point still stands, Bluesky’s devs are in debt (via investments) to wealthy people who will want to extract value (money) from it. Enshittification is inevitable.

about 9 million people work more than one job in the us.

13 million, source: https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2019/06/about-thirteen-million-united-states-workers-have-more-than-one-job.html

To your point though, that still doesn’t add up to the nearly 89 million people who didn’t vote, source: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/how-many-people-didn-t-vote-in-the-2024-election/ar-AA1uaH9n - I retract my statement as it’s just a fraction of the overall picture. I’m curious what other driving factors exist. I’m not going to call it lazyness without evidence though. I need concrete studies/evidence, not just conjecture.

we’ll have a vote the same way russians get a vote. I don’t like it, but that’s very likely what will happen.

So you’re choosing to normalize it

Don’t get it twisted, I specifically said “I’ll be voting”. I will be voting and inspiring others to vote, but I’m not deluding myself into thinking it will do anything by the time we get there.

Trump thanks you for dropping out and making it easier for him.

your imagination runs wild. I’m not making anything easier for trump.

They’ve invested millions and they wouldn’t unless they expected a significant return. The only way to get a return on a social media investment is either ads or subscriptions via enshittifying it just enough to get people to pay. bluesky is destined to be trash.

OP has posted (and re-posted) about Bluesky about 40 times in the last 48 hours. I’m down voting every single one. Quit shilling for billionaires.

Its easy to vote when you have the privilege (time) do it.

Many people work two or three jobs to make ends meet. Many others have kids in addition to wasting time commuting to work. In my situation, if I relied on public transport to get to work I’d waste nearly 5 additional hours per day for a total of 14 hours. That’s 88% (14/16 hours) of my waking hours (assuming 8 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period) dedicated to doing something that will primarily benefit a large corporation. If I had kids and had to cook a full meal + get them ready for anything I’d have zero hours to take care of anything for myself.

Not voting is just plain lazy

The people struggling to make end meet are working harder than you can even imagine, considering this is your perspective.

There will be a 2026 mid term and a 2028 general elections

oh sweet summer child.

Americans threw it all away for a man with a public history of failure, rape, cheating, lying, narcissism and incestuous ideology. If there’s a real election in 2026 and Americans learn from their mistake, things might eventually be okay. Unfortunately, it seems America is the land of the ignorant who equate higher education with brainwashing. I’m not sure how to fix stupid, the country seems lost.

I’ll be voting, but I have zero hopes my fellow americans will have learned anything. I’m also not sure, with lying and cheating republicans in place, we’ll even have a fair election.

100% agree with you. But I would counter and say changing it from the outside/replacing it is a last resort as it will lead to complete instability while things get sorted - this is exactly what Putin wants.

yes, lets further divide what’s left of the US. /s

You don’t have to make an informed decision.

Correct, but you are still presented with a decision that adds friction to the onboarding experience. I was aware of how Mastodon works and that I could migrate and it took me a while to create an account because I didn’t want to “waste my time”. I can’t imagine a regular user being prompted to “select an instance”, decide to go with the first one they see, and registration is either closed or invite only. That’s a huge barrier to entry compared to being forced into a single login that is always open.

Meanwhile, if you’re worried about something you don’t align with, then you don’t even get that choice with a centralized platform like Bluesky. For example, I don’t align with any of this shit https://toad.social/@davetroy/113476788536250587

100000% agree with you. I would never create a bluesky account because of that. Unfortunately people aren’t as informed and most really just don’t care.
