Happy 10 million! According to FediDB, we have hit 10 million users across the Fediverse!

Where they at tho?

We all know there’s barely enough people here. It’s not unusable, but there are so few people it’s always the same users posting and commenting, and it can be a bit dead occasionally.

I’m committed to the fediverse, but we could do with another big push from people dumping Reddit. Part of that would also rely on us (🫵) not being obnoxious towards the potential new users 👀

Brexit has completely failed for UK, say clear majority of Britons – poll

It’s become undeniable.

My mother was all in on Brexit, she started out fiercely declaring it’s what the country needed.

Then she said it’s going to benefit the country soon, then said it needs some time.

Then she said that everything going wrong was unrelated to Brexit. Then said its not that bad, and the eventual positives will balance out.

That’s the opinion shifting over the years. She now admits it was a mistake, “but how could we have known?!?”…

The comments speak for themselves

I read the TLDR bot at least…

Seems like that gives 90% of the relevant info, then I view the article if there’s anything missing.

Not that it makes a difference, my opinions are formed before I even read the title. I’m dug in, and I’ll never change 😎

"Critical Listening" by Mr.Lovenstein

Never play music for someone unless you’re 100% sure they’ll love it. Otherwise, just give a recommendation and let them listen to it in their own time.

It’s difficult to enjoy something that’s been sprung on you with someone waiting for your validation. Unless you’re drunk or high.

That was a colossal fuck up of an interview though, made the entire anti work community look like a load of stupid freeloaders.

Absolutely no excuse for the misgendering or any harassment, but I still wouldn’t undersell how bad that interview was.

Saying that most Brexit voters thought anything about an EEA arrangement is giving them too much credit imo.

Their thought process was as shallow as “we should be independent, get the foreigners out, save EU membership fees, then everything will be good”, with no thought about the reality of the situation and how it will be achieved.

A lot of them wanted hard Brexit just because negotiating a deal was taking too long, because in their minds it’s as simple as just leaving.

Relatable

Off topic, but anything ever happen with that LTT drama?

I used to follow them early on, but seems like a toxic, corporate shit show these days.

Kinda sad watching their videos now, the magic’s just gone imo and seems like they’ve tried to template what it was like.

I guess that’s what people want though, their fan base are basically tech-swifties.
