Reply to Can Slowing Down Save the Planet? by oolong

part of me has a knee-jerk reaction seeing this kind of topic in the new yorker of like "oh god is 'slowing down' going to be the next commoditized lifestyle after 'mindfulness?'" but still this is pretty good

Reply to comment by emma in i think we should have daily threads reassuring ourselves that we aren't weirdos for hanging out on here instead of that other bigger website, and also frequently share and froth at the rage bait from the other bigger website that we're glad we aren't using by emma

because it's decentralized mastodon is odd because there's a lot more "pockets" and some pockets do twitter sharing and some don't. i see barely any twitter screenshots in my neck of the woods. it all depends on what instance you're on and what instances that instance federates or chooses not to federate with.

if you're on a large instance, especially the dumpster fire that is mastodon.social you may benefit from moving to a smaller one if you've seen enough posts coming from one that's nice. octodon.social is a pretty chill generalist instance for example.

and yeah most people who are just there to talk and make friends have quite a distaste for the "explore" tab because like... it's designed to show you the fire hose of shit.
