Erste Stunden Mastodon vs. Lemmy

Das Problem ist bei Twitter/Mastodon halt, dass die "Schwergewichte" nicht umgezogen sind, und ohne die kommen die meisten User nicht weg von Twitter. Wenn es dir wichtig ist Updates von der Bahn, der Polizei, deinem Lieblingspolitiker/-sportler/-star, etc. zu erhalten, bleibt dir halt keine Wahl, als auf Twitter zu bleiben, wenn die nicht zuerst umziehen oder zumindest beides fuettern.

Deswegen braucht eine konkurrierende Platform immer in kurzer Zeit einen massiven Hype, damit alle quasi gleichzeitig wechseln - deswegen kommen wir auch nicht von WhatsApp, etc. weg. Wenn nicht dein ganzer Freundes- und Familienkreis gleichzeitig wechselt, kommst du nicht weg und wenn du nicht weg gehst, wieso sollten die anderen dann wechseln?

Aber bei Reddit kommt der Content von denselben, die jetzt umziehen. Kaum jemand ist auf Reddit, nur weil Arnold Schwarzenegger da einen Account hat - sondern wegen den Shitposts, die du und ich erstellen. Nur das Volumen ist kleiner, aber den einen ist das sogar lieber und andere koennen damit leben. Aber andere werden Mittwoch auch einfach wieder zurueck zu Reddit gehen.

How did people refer to clockwise movement before the invention of the clock?

Reply in thread

Sunwise, as it was based on the movement of the sun during day (in the Northern hemisphere). As watch faces were modelled after sundials, sunwise and clockwise describe the same direction.

Turnwise is a word invented by Pratchett for a book, but it's clearly based on sunwise. He also used widdershins in his book, which is indeed the unmodified antonym to sunwise.

Mastodon Usage Soaring as Twitter Rebranding Leads to User Exodus: CEO Eugen Rochko

Reply in thread

I think some of us also had hopes that the new CEO would put a leash on Musk and steer Twitter into calmer waters again, but this was just proof that Musk is still doing wtf he wants and the CEO is just there for show. So people have now abandoned their last bit of hope and therefore abandoned T...I mean X as well.

While I haven't been an active user in a longer time, I've still been a very active lurker until Musk took over. By now, I've only checked Twitter every now and then when bored, to see what happened (as I mostly used Twitter as some kind of news feeds for stuff I couldn't easily follow in any other way). But today I started migrating off completely - going through my follow list one by one and finding ways to follow those things (like local police, local town, local zoo, etc.) in other ways.

For some that means slower news, or only the most important news - which kinda sucks, as e.g. local police info were good to have in real time during major events or when there was some protest going on. For some this even means mailing lists, ugh.

And a few I couldn't replace at all, so I'll miss out on those news. Sucks, but hopefully those people/entities will provide their news feed through some better means sometime now.

How do you consume Muesli?

Coming from the Land of Muesli, it's really quite simple and it's really the same way we eat any cereal over here:

  • put Muesli in a small bowl
  • add fresh (ideally cold) cow milk
  • eat it all with a spoon (quickly, before it loses most texture and becomes a soggy pulp / porridge-like)

If you like it a bit sweeter, mix a fruit yoghurt into it. Personally, I add the yoghurt after the Muesli and stir/mix it a bit before adding the milk.

Of course you can also add fresh sweet fruits (bananas, apples, strawberries, peaches, etc.) cut into slices/cubes.

If you prefer vegan milk alternatives, oat milk works great. Honestly, I think a good oat milk complements the Muesli (which usually contains oats) better than cow milk and I would suggest everyone try it.
