Dansup is walking, most of everyone else is talking.

Isn’t that because Dan hasn’t open-sourced his project yet and doesn’t let anybody else contribute?

I’ve gotten some odd vibes from him (his recent posts hyping up Loops and Pixelfed have slightly manic energy to them), but I’m curious what you find weird about him.

We’ve been saying that since 2015.

It’s hard not to when the man who just did two nazi salutes at the presidential inauguration is also trying to insert himself into our gaming spaces. We don’t want nazis in our communities.

Considering that nazi content has been otherwise decently moderated on the other major vertical video platforms, I expect that we’re going to see a new wave of youth propaganda since no such moderation exists on Twitter. There’ve been attempts by the right to get into TikTok, but you can only say so much hateful shit before they actually ban you so they’ve had to keep a semblance of civility there, so it’s a little scary to think of what’ll happen when that sort of content goes unchallenged on a major social platform now that they can say the quiet parts out loud.

It feels a lot like using a game controller to control your mouse, if you’ve ever used Joy2Key or similar programs.

All matter is from space.

You know, I see these at the 7-Eleven checkout every other day and never thought to try them. I think I’ll pick one up next time I’m in there and see how they are!

Oh, this sounds dope! I may have to order a couple of these.

Correct. This was all just theater so that TikTok could put up a message in front of several million users saying how good of a guy Trump is.

I miss the sour Altoids. They were the perfect amount of sour without overpowering the actual flavor, stayed sour for a while, and still tasted good after the sourness had faded.

Won’t he be embarrassed to learn it wasn’t even offline for half a day!

I’ve seen people make knives out of them. I believe it’s supposed to be a sort of “intro to blacksmithing” sort of project.

Isn’t calling it a meme supposed to be the quiet part? I thought we called them “meme” coins because everybody was in agreement that the coin wasn’t meant to be taken seriously?

He says he was using Head & Shoulders prior to going water-only. I’m not sure if H&S has SLS or not, but I’ve not known H&S to lather up that well, so I would assume it probably doesn’t.

A handful of underpaid city staffers gently disassembling your home don’t send the same message that 200 tons of steel and diesel barreling through it does.

“A ‘final’ one, as he calls it.”

They’re not mutually exclusive. The Hope Diamond is valued at around $300 million, but it doesn’t make any profit.

Well for one, it’s easily one of the largest social media platforms on the planet right now, so it getting cut off from a major percentage of its user base overnight is a pretty big deal in terms of discussions on government censorship.

But if you want a more Fediverse-pertinent reason to care, those several million users are going to be going somewhere for their content fix. Some of them are going to be trying out Loops and Pixelfed, which are Fediverse platforms that replace some features of TikTok. While it’ll likely only be a small percentage of those users who try migrating over, that’s still going to have an affect on adjacent ActivityPub platforms as a bunch of new instances and users start engaging with it.

“stealing” a digital copy of a movie, tv show or a game is like if the item you’re stealing from a store is infinitely copyable.

What if it’s a physical Blu-ray? Those are infinitely copyable.
