Some thin bubblewrap and vaseline will see you all right.

No, there isn’t.

Five and a half years ago. People can change a hell of a lot in that amount of time. I know I did.

I was seriously onioned there.

Oops typo 😒

I really hope Starmer has the balls to tell Trump to do one.

We just cannot trust USA any more. They’d sell us down the river in a heartbeat.

And nor should they. We must never accept the aggressor.

Ha ha ha.

2.5kt. Good job pity Ukraine doesn’t have nukes anymore.

Gilbert O’Sullivan? I’d forgotten how truly awful he was 😒

Unless you’re in the US, then they text secret plans directly to you

Even if you didn’t want them ;-)

Obviously. It’s uncensored after all.

It didn’t offer many options. I was on the vegan sub(?) but they seemed to have moved lock, stock and barrel from Reddit, and you get shouted down for a different opinion to theirs.

Couldn’t see where else to put it as it didn’t give me any other options.

I’d prefer a minute, this might have been over by now.

Yeah I get that, it’s why I don’t use FB anymore. I keep WhatsApp for close family though. They’re is no other option. And dont tell me to use text. Doesn’t cut it.

Before getting on our high horse - there are mercenaries of various nationalities fighting on the Ukrainian side as well as the Russian side, that doesn’t mean their governments support them.

This. The average user doesn’t want to know about the workings and ‘All that technical stuff’, and why should they?

They want to click an icon and have everything and everyone there. They shouldn’t have to swap instances or what have you.

I put Mastodon on a back burner as it’s just too clunky (for me at least) and am currently interacting with people from all over on BlueSky. Half the time on Mastodon (various apps/instances, web, or browser) I couldn’t even log on.

BlueSky will probably go the way of others. Yes, there is a troll problem, and you need to be wary. But I had the same to a lesser extent on Mastodon.

In the end, I’ve had to accept my relatives, work, and old Army colleagues will never be on there, I’ve become resigned to that and keep a WhatsApp account for that reason.

Right, so we just trade in our relatives for some new ones.

That’s the attitude that puts people off.

Try telling that to the UK.

We’ve got old sausage fingers to cough up for.

Yes, you just concentrate all the people in one place.
