It feels like if Twitter and LinkedIn had a baby, it would be Threads.

Thank you for the reassurance, I think I will share my hobby once I start! Maybe someday you’ll see a gemstone on your feed and recognize my name. 😄

Thank you! You’re soothing my nervousness quite a bit lol, I’ll take the plunge and start posting as soon as I have my equipment!

I’ve never used Instagram before but I would like to start posting photos, however the vibe I’m getting from Pixelfed is this is a medium for photography art. I’m learning to facet gemstones and thought it would be cool to do photos of my gems that I cut to show my talent progress. Would that kind of non-photography art fit in on Pixelfed?

Some clever coding genius should host an instance for a bot they make that stays federated with everyone, and the entire point of the bot is to crawl across posts and anyone posting from Threads gets a nice public reply about why Threads is a toxic instance and they should switch to a non-Meta one immediately.

Sauce? I’m in Texas and I just tried to access it hoping to collect a screenshot of the blocked message to share with you all, but instead I now need eye bleach.

Edit: OP your comment is misinformed. PornHub just blocked Mississippi and Virginia. Texas will be blocked on September 1, and Montana in January, but they are not blocked right now. Hopefully this info saves others from surprise penis.

To piggy back on this, images in between texts also aren’t showing, despite the improvements so far.

Hey, smoked salmon has its place in the culinary world too!

I learned the hard way that baked potatoes can explode if you don’t poke holes in them. I must’ve baked a hundred before I learned this lesson, I guess I was lucky?

Aargh Imgur is being dysfunctional.

Buying interchangable needles was a huge game changer for my organization ability - they replace both circular and straight needles. Between those and dpns, I never need to buy needles unless I break or lose something.

Here is a pic of my diy dpn storage in case anyone is looking for inspiration.

This is exactly what I think. We might see a fraction of a spike from the few holding out until the very end, but it won’t be this mass exodus people keep proclaiming it to be.

Apollo has published many blatant warnings to the app about the shutdown, you literally can’t use the app without seeing them. Nobody using Apollo is going to be surprised at being cut off.

I assume the other apps are doing something similar to warn their users.

Those who care are already finding their way over here. Those who don’t care are using the Reddit app. Those who are somehow still ignorant of what’s happening probably don’t use Reddit enough to know the difference.

Maybe more of a sunk cost fallacy? They’ve invested hours of labor in maintaining their community, to suddenly give that up and let some bootlicker take over feels like admitting all that work was for nothing.

That kind of dedication would be welcome over here though! I hope they find their way here.

That depends heavily on what you plan on serving them with. If it’s being served with something that would pair with a cooked and softly charred onion, hell yes.

If you’re just planning on eating a whole grilled onion by itself though, you’re off your rocker.

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

It was an assigned reading in 11th grade. When I finally finished it, I remember feeling like my skin was crawling, and my thoughts were a jumbled mess - I was questioning everything, how I viewed others and how they viewed me, was it right or wrong, how would I have behaved in those situations…

I remember l just staring out my bedroom window into the pitch black night for an hour just digesting it all. I also remember sleeping with the lights on because I was a little creeped out.

Being an impressionable teen probably helped, but that book left a profound impact on my way of thinking about how I interact with the world and the people in it.

It was also my gateway book to classic literature and how good it can actually be!
