For Wumbo?

Honestly I think this is probably one of the many secrets to long-term happiness. Ignorance is bliss, as they say

I remember being 13-15 and not caring at all what the news was. Better times, I think

@applebottom That’s a good tip! I’ll have to see if there’s a grocery near me that stocks those items. I know the supermarket by us doesn’t, but there are some smaller ones that might!

@applebottom how’d you make the curry? This is something I really want to figure out at home!!

Most of my friends jumped off Reddit and onto Kbin/Lemmy for the week of the blackout. I think most of them are using some hybrid of Lemmy/Reddit now. I’m the only person I know that moved exclusively to Kbin, but that’s okay. It fills the same hole that reddit did, I don’t much care if other people I know do or do not join tbh

It doesn’t work for everything though. Having a self hosted account that wasn’t tied to any specific platform or instance would ideally allow you to have access to PeerTube and BookWyrm as well as Mastodon and Kbin, without having to worry about your instance shuttering and all of your posts and comments disappearing. I’ve also been really stewing on this idea, I think it’s a probable future state of the Fediverse

If a screen name is an identifier doesn’t that make literally every social website or forum a potential breach? That seems a bit harsh

Is it really so surprising? They have the entire Instagram userbase to feed off of. All the Instagram users have to do is open Threads and they are already a user. The userbase was already there, Meta just had to activate it.

I think for this same reason Threads probably will stick around. Especially with the way Twitter is going. Can’t say I’ll be joining in on the fun though
