Aside from the obvious alt-right/nazi/anti-sjw instances (which most instances block) I pretty much don't bother engaging with anything from mastodon.social or cyber.space or the other big "flagship" instances because like... they're so bad lol. Many of the smaller instances don't even include them in their list of "known" networks.

I guess Mastodon is crumbling in the sense that the flagship instances aren't in a very healthy place, but the idea of a flagship instance was probably a mistake in the first place anyway.

This article is a mess but yea I don't use mastodon for basically the reasons they cite

both my parents lost their jobs in that same McDonnell Douglas closure too.

the layoffs had long-lasting consequences in the labor market there. my dad was making minimum wage selling TVs at Circuit City for years afterward, because it was so hard to find work with a 2 year degree in EE as that plant had employed so many folks with those skills who all got laid off at once. eventually he had to move across the country just to find work.

oh man i loved that article when i first read it, then i was ready to think like oh i see it was hugely exagerated or whatever but damn no it was just like 100% a lie and hugely unethical reporting etc, and uh eff this owner and like im mad that this writer once made me sympathetic (and also not implicating jstpst or anything as i saw it first and was taken in on other sites)

I see no reason to believe it's not real. There's always more and it's always worse.

i can't tell if this an artifact produced by someone's sincere ideology or if it is only designed to provoke brain aneurysms in leftists

Yeah this was incredible.

this reads exactly like that one joke thing with "unprisoning your think rhino"
