My RSS Feed Readers
@UndisturbedPotato Sure! For my Linux Mint desktop, I use Thundrbird. That screenshot is from my andorid. For android, I use Inoreader. If you saw a different account initially responding to your question from this same instance, I accidentally replied from the wrong account, lol.
Discord, Reddit, and Bluesky Cater to Sociopaths
Now that I’m back in the fediverse, I’m convinced that people who choose platforms with the culture of Twitter or Bluesky do so because they’re expected to conform to basic norms in the fediverse. I think there is a tacit understanding that behaving the way they do on Discord, Reddit, Bluesky, or Twitter will likely […]
Social Media is Filled With Propaganda and Influence Campaigns
Lord, I’m so happy I heavily, heavily filter my content and mostly consume things from RSS feeds, because most media sources are a fire hose of nonstop propaganda.

I honestly don’t know what the fuck people want, but they don’t want to have dialogues with people—that’s for certain. Microblogging is a format that was specifically designed around how dialogue works. You say something, a person responds, and […]
Blocking People Who Don’t Post Their Sources
Yeah, I’m going to block people who make any extraordinary claim or anecdote—especially if it uses statistics or measurements—who don’t provide sources. I’ll assume it’s misinformation or propaganda and just block.
I Feel Relieved During The Seasons Where Social Media Burns
With the rise in censorship, technical problems, and glitches on TikTok following its recent management change, I often feel a morbid sense of happiness during moments when social media platforms seem to go up in flames all at once. These disruptions to the scheduled program of doom-scrolling give me a concrete justification to cut back […]
