I was recently asked by my employer if we should move our social media efforts to fediverse and my recommendation was that this community it's both too small and also would be hostile (rightly) to corporate empty posting.

As soon as threads has a web interface that's usable I will be starting up there...

You put your recycling in the blue can, compost in the green can and your corporate garbage on Meta.

Nothing to add, but this is a wildly distopian thread.

Why be frustrated? This person just saved you a boring evening.

But I need sunscreen or my stupid Irish skin will turn into a big lump of cancer anyway.

Anyone have the backstory here?

Calm, peaceful, and if we're honest, still a little buggy.

This is probably two thirds of the vehicles I see in Austin... which probably has the worst drivers of any city I've lived in.

I'm currently wait listed. Is there a way to get Boost now?

Is Donut Media on Lemmy yet?

SA vs Fark vs Ebaums all over again. Can't wait.

Has anyone tried Summit yet?

CoQ is worth the price. I've been playing that game steadily for the last year and a half, and I'm still having fun. I'll probably keep playing it until Steam Dwarf Fortress gets a native Mac OS port.

Like I said... Most likely legit, but these issues will arise. This whole Fediverse thing feels like the first big thing to happen for whatever comes next. Which is great, but it would be foolish to think scammers, with modern tools wont try to exploit it. We all have some internet hygiene to figure out.

I keep getting errors when trying to visit new communities. Definitely growing pains, but its much more full featured than the rest, from what I've seen.

I'm using the web ui now. I think it hits a good balance of not too big, not too small.

Not everyone has one. They're emoji sized by people's names. It may also be instance based... I'm not sure how it all works yet.

I think we got to a point in corporate comms where everyone decided we have to post at a regular interval, even when there's nothing interesting happening.

This feela like a good time to revaluate what we do on social. I have thought about standing up an instance, but realistically we have our internal Teams that employees use... So they wouldn't use it, and I can't imagine myself subscribing to a bunch of company instances, so it seems like it's an effort for nobody.

That said we often put on community events like hackathons. I think situations like that are perfect for posting on our cyber security servers.

Less white noise trash is better.

Since I've begun "trying" in the kitchen, I eat way healthier than ever before, and most of my meals are better and cheaper than restaurant equivalents.

I'm in Austin Texas. We got this guy around mid spring and it was bright pink. We've tried full direct light, bright indirect, half and half, putting it indoor and outdoor. It's pretty much all green now. How do we get that pink back?

Weird. Have you updated

Edit- I'm noticing they don't always show, and I'm not sure what the consistency is.

I guess I've never run scripts in Firefox.

If you want to see Beehaw you need a separate account as far as I know since they defederated.

It would be cool if apps made showing avatars an option. I could see why someone wouldn't like them... I just remember pictures easier than names because I'm a little special, so they work for me.

That said, I'm not saying we should go crazy and do table breaking SA red text avatars.

Only if they can power up on slurp juice.

Connect doesn't seem to have a way to visit and subscribe to other servers as far as I can tell.

This is great, and would make for a super useful Firefox extension.
