They make sense if you think of them as just a shed to store tools and stuff that's too dirty to store in your house but don't want outside getting rained on, like a lawn mower or power tools.

It is very silly to store a car in them, but I guess can be handy if you're like, working on a motorcycle and it's rainy out.

Yeah same the "new post" circle is half way off the bottom of the screen and hard to click on my phone.

It feels jankier than twitter BUT: I left twitter a couple months in to musks reign and well before the site started actually falling apart, so idk how the jank is today.

What's your fediverse handle? Not sure if I'm following you yet. I'm @flabberghaster@mas.to

I read it. The advice is not that bad in some places but it is kind of weird. Basically it's "People love talking about themselves, so ask them questions and listen to what they tell you. Even if you don't say much they'll often think you're a great conversationalist." That one is good. Others are like "People love the sound of their own names, so say their names a bunch".

I don't think it's that weird or manipulative, it just has kind of a clickbait title from before clickbait was a thing. Most of the advice doesn't seem that good (specifically saying peoples names freakishly often) but it's not like... pickup artist type stuff or anything.
