I’m trying out both kbin and lemmy now but I’m not new to fedi. I joined mastodon back in 2016 or 2017, stayed for a bit, eventually forgot about it, came back around Jan 2022 or so? I forget because I checked out several instances before I got on the one I’m on now. I also dabbled in some other fedi software but nothing I spent much time on. I always meant to try Lemmy but obviously recent events reminded me I was going to do that.

I’ve always been opposed to this kind of branding. Users are users, posts are posts, getting heavy into branding is always a bad sign to me.

It might as well not even exist in the fediverse because absolutely everyone is going to defederate from them.

I use Sync, but I can only imagine it’ll be the same story there. It sucks, and I can’t stand to use Reddit any way but through third party apps.

I tell people I got into woodworking with traditional hand tools for the craftsmanship, but it’s actually just a fear of my hands getting wrecked by power tools.

I only indirectly caused this injury, but…

My closet has those wooden doors that fold open, right? So basically like two very skinny but heavy wooden doors with a hinge between them that fold. One of them came off the tracks. I sat it propped up against the edge of the closet door frame because I didn’t have what I needed to fix it at the time.

The next morning, I wake up to the dogs playing. It was still early so I closed my eyes to go back to sleep. Next thing I hear is a loud thud, followed by something smacking me directly in the face. The dogs had bumped the closet door, knocked it over, and it landed directly onto my face in bed. Since I didn’t even have my eyes open I didn’t even see it coming to try to move out of the way. It’s a miracle I was able to rush into the bathroom before blood starting pouring out everywhere.

So basically by not putting the closet door somewhere safer where it couldn’t get knocked over (or at least somewhere to where it wouldn’t fall towards me if it did), I set up a Rube Goldberg machine to break my own nose.

Wilmot’s Warehouse is on Switch, not sure about Playstation.

There’s an Android version of LaGrange, I don’t know if it’s on FDroid or if you just have to get the apk from github since the Android version is still in development but that’s what I use for Gemini on Android with no complaints.

Thanks for the Pride Month gift Pat. Turns out you’re an ally after all.

Love Joplin, use it on desktop and mobile both.

This is why I can’t get on board with the current state of Linux phones. Sure I’d love a niche phone OS and would love to not be tied to Google OR Apple. But I also want to be an average person who uses normal people apps and can do my banking on my phone and play a hot new mobile game or whatever.

I’ve been keeping an eye on which large retail chains in my town have pride displays and don’t (particularly if they did last year). Meijer still had theirs at about the same size as before, which isn’t that big but at least it hasn’t changed. It was farther in the back of the store, but it was also right in front of the toy aisle, so if right wing pressure was the issue then I doubt that’d be the choice they made. Dick’s Sporting Goods had nothing and last year they had their stuff in the center aisle. Granted, this was on June 1st, it’s possible they didn’t have it out yet…but I am not holding my breath.

I joined Mastodon in…either late 2016 or early 2017? And really enjoyed it but couldn’t find enough people to follow and not enough people I knew tried it out so I fell off of it. Came back some number of months before the big Twitter exodus so I at least got to see it in its normal calm state before that. I’ve tried out various fedi platforms since then.
