Saving this one. That’s funny, and possibly useful

Thank you! This will prove helpful whenever I get around to spinning up my own instance.
Adapt or die. It’s not really that difficult a concept.
Not suprised. A lot of people in the US have ancestral links to slavery. I don't judge a person for the sins of their parents. I judge them for their own sins.
I believe that votes are private in the sense that they are out of view unless you go digging for them. A bit like stepping behind a curtain to have a conversation in a room full of people.
As for saved posts, Looking at the documentation, I think that that is local to your home server only.
That's a new reference for me. I had to look that up. :-)
I may have gotten to word wrong. I'm afraid speak only two languages. Horrible English and even worse Spanish.
I meant the box that old timey politicians used to stand on so they could be seen by a crowd while they spewed nonsense out of their mouths.
Only if your home server remains unfederated. Even then other users of the server will be able to see everything. And will be more likely to remember, like miss Busy Body.
As for this being experimental software. Yes? So? So is the internet. It has really only been under strain for 20 years. (It older then that, I know. I grew up using dialup to BBSs. Then USENET. Then AOL.) We are still making this shit up as we go along. But it’s best not to forget human nature.
As for your last statement, yea….. I’m going to just let that one be…
Quite. But she is usually sweet and was often the first to help pick you up when you fell. ‘Cause god knows she was probably there watching.
But now that I’ve actually had time to read your post, I stand by my original comment except to add this:
What in God’s name makes you think that you aren’t being tracked on the Fediverse! It’s an open damned platform! Everyone can see everything! Whether they care or not is another matter entirely.
Yes.
You must have either grown up post-internet or in one of the bigger cities. I assure you, in small towns like where I grew up, (particularly before the internet) old miss Busy Body down the street would never let ANYONE forget every embarrassing moment anyone ever had. The more scandalous or embarrassing the moment, the more likely it was to be retold. And retold. And retold. Till EVERYONE knew.
The only thing that has changed is the detail of the retelling. The tales still seem to get bigger and more scandalous with each retelling.
Saving this to read later, when I have time. So my apologies if this is not relevant.
When using any sort of social media you are effectively shouting, at the top of you lungs, in the middle of town square. What privacy are you expecting? If you want privacy, join me in “bed”. For “pillow talk.”
I do expect my account to be secure, in that no one should be able to pretend to be me. But privacy? Not in town square, while standing on the bullpup. Holding a megaphone.
Interesting relevant factoid.
I am a truck driver. I make $75,000 per year. Required a license that cost me 2 years of my life or $10,000 (my choice) for school (12 weeks) and roughly $1000 in admin fees to my State to aquire.
My wife is a mental health therapist. She makes roughly $55,000. To do her current job required a Master’s degree($80,000 +6 years), and 2 separate licenses with an unknown (to me) cost but required a total of 5 years on the job to acquire. Before she got that second license, she made more money working at McDonalds. And she still has continued education requirements costing upwards of $800 per course.
She loves her job (usually) and I love that she loves it, but if you’re looking for money, THE TRADES PAY! And usually a heck of a lot earlier and better than jobs that require a college degree.
Edit: Spolling is hard!
Nice!
