I need a mod for my phone my that just makes every icon a picture of some character with their mouth wide open, yelling.

(refer to this reddit post for what I mean)

Calculator? Someone yelling.

Settings? Someone yelling.

Camera app? Believe it or not, someone yelling.

I say keep the flow coming, because the good shit eventually floats to the top.

The more people here, the more attractive it becomes to bigger-names, which will then bring their audience over.

how did you make it to Fediverse-B without knowing about Fediverse-A?

my unpopular(?) opinion:

dogs are slobbery, stinky, and loud and you have to take them outside a lot and they aren’t always compatible with many living situations. plus there is a certain dangerous breed that completely fills up shelters beyond capacity and has a weird cult-like following.

kitties are like perpetual cute babies and are way, way easier to take care of.

you see sites like reddit or lemmy or youtube or whatever fill up with so many cat pictures and videos for a reason.

I am also a cat & dog parent. Dealing with our dogs over the past few months has been significantly more stressful than dealing with our cats. Take the 4th of July, for example. Our cats didn’t like the noise from fireworks, but were mostly fine. Our dog was beyond terrified. I couldn’t get her to go potty outside because she refused to go out there. I also had to sleep next to her in her crate to comfort her. We have to take her with us if we will be gone for a while or find someone to watch her.

Well, the destruction of Twitter AND Reddit, especially so close to each other, is leaving a hole in my heart.

The magic of the “fediverse” can be both a bandaid and a fix.

A shiny, new replacement (Mastodon and Lemmy) for me to fall back on for comfort, and a new paradigm of social interaction (Fediverse) that will hopefully offer long-term immunity from assholes that want to destroy everything.

The more people on the Fediverse, the better it can become for everyone.
