It feels like if Twitter and LinkedIn had a baby, it would be Threads.

Thank you for the reassurance, I think I will share my hobby once I start! Maybe someday you’ll see a gemstone on your feed and recognize my name. 😄

Thank you! You’re soothing my nervousness quite a bit lol, I’ll take the plunge and start posting as soon as I have my equipment!

I’ve never used Instagram before but I would like to start posting photos, however the vibe I’m getting from Pixelfed is this is a medium for photography art. I’m learning to facet gemstones and thought it would be cool to do photos of my gems that I cut to show my talent progress. Would that kind of non-photography art fit in on Pixelfed?

Some clever coding genius should host an instance for a bot they make that stays federated with everyone, and the entire point of the bot is to crawl across posts and anyone posting from Threads gets a nice public reply about why Threads is a toxic instance and they should switch to a non-Meta one immediately.

The article is behind a paywall. Can you share the text?

Sauce? I’m in Texas and I just tried to access it hoping to collect a screenshot of the blocked message to share with you all, but instead I now need eye bleach.

Edit: OP your comment is misinformed. PornHub just blocked Mississippi and Virginia. Texas will be blocked on September 1, and Montana in January, but they are not blocked right now. Hopefully this info saves others from surprise penis.

Hey, smoked salmon has its place in the culinary world too!

I learned the hard way that baked potatoes can explode if you don’t poke holes in them. I must’ve baked a hundred before I learned this lesson, I guess I was lucky?

And they said they’d be introducing better mod tools and accessibility in their app.

Golly there’s a lot of things they said they’d do that aren’t actually manifest yet.

This isn’t going to happen in the future.

It’s happening right now.

Bots are already engaging with users and pushing narratives. The percentage of Reddit that is inorganic is probably higher than most people would expect.

Maybe more of a sunk cost fallacy? They’ve invested hours of labor in maintaining their community, to suddenly give that up and let some bootlicker take over feels like admitting all that work was for nothing.

That kind of dedication would be welcome over here though! I hope they find their way here.

That depends heavily on what you plan on serving them with. If it’s being served with something that would pair with a cooked and softly charred onion, hell yes.

If you’re just planning on eating a whole grilled onion by itself though, you’re off your rocker.
