You’re just being asked to be thoughtful before opening your mouth. Is that so awful?

We’re at an inflection point where millions of people might be able to break free of the big social media companies. People are disgusted at the incumbents and are looking for someplace, anyplace to land.

Unfortunately, “Don’t be a dick” is in the critical path to success for the fediverse, We, the currently existing community, have to make it worth their while to jump to fedi, because if it’s a hassle, they’re just going to go somewhere else like bsky or Threads. Then we’ll all dragged along via network effects, riding the Wheel of Pain for another decade or so until that platform enshitifies and we maybe get another bite at the apple

You’re really illustrating the problem the OP is trying to fix quite nicely.

Instead of dropping a turd on our doorstep, why not have a policy of not commenting on stuff in places that you don’t really belong, like an normal person would in their regular life.

BTW, having a fedi-wide stream of popular posts was a mistake.

As an adhd enjoyer, the idea of someone using our prescription stimulant medications of justify raw dogging gas station meth is fucking wild. Stimulant meds have been around since the 50s, but they are waaaaaaay better now, mostly because of novel delivery systems that carefully control the release rate of the active compound. I’ve learned the hard way that while generic allegra-d is fine, you can’t fuck around with your adhd meds this way, because the difference between generics varies wildly, and unless you request particular manufacturers – any or all of which may be in short supply when you request it – you’re playing russian roulette with your executive functioning for the next month.

Getting generic adderall xr is like buying a plane ticket, but not knowing until you board whether it’s an Airbus, a Boeing, or an Ork Wagon with a thousand pounds of fireworks glued onto the roof.

Then these guys are just going to do meth that they got from a guy?

Jesus.

Edit: do you reckon that meth > GMO mouth bacteria?

Literally “Have fun being poor” all over again.

Crypto did a speedrun of the history of financial regulation, and now AI dorks are doing a speedrun of crypto.

This guy’s all dip and no chips

It’s crazy how these guys will burn billions of dollars and boil the oceans to speak to their invisible friends, when all you really need is a tea candle and 3 cc of mouse blood.

I use subscription services to get the best letters of the alphabet.

For example, I use WinnrWinnrChicknDinnr to get access to the letter W (upper AND lower case!) for only $69 a month!

No idea why they needed my SSN, but look I’m not some pleb that uses free letters.
