That article states she closed down **all **social media comments. This would include Facebook, etc. as well. I feel they see Mastodon as no different than other social media sites.

Would doing this be redundant to https://mstdn.ca who has a tie-in with the CIRA?

Or maybe CBC and mstdn.ca could work together?

They have over a billion monthly users, so I’m not sure they’re dead. Unless you were being sarcastic.

But… You reminded me I’ve been wanting to look into using PixelFed.

Yeah, the novelty of it will fizzle out. Some will call it their new home. Others will go back to Twitter or other. Some will check back in periodically.

I haven’t been back on Reddit since shortly before July 1. I enjoy the vibe here right and the novelty of something new hasn’t worn off yet.

Some subreddits I was more into like Destiny 2’s and Diablo 4 don’t seem as busy here so I have a feeling I may need to lurk over there still from time to time.

There are 1 billion active users on Instagram and those users were invited to Threads using an existing account. Celebrities, businesses, streamers, etc. all popped up on Threads within the first few hours of public release.

I’m a big nerd and just learned about the fediverse within recent months. Everyone else I know who uses Twitter and Threads have no clue what Mastodon is.

In Canada, for years, you were almost a fool for not upgrading your device every two years. The “regular” plans we all had involved a 2-yr contract in which time your phone would be paid off. But after that term was up, the monthly bill remained exactly the same. It was stupid, but a lot of Canadians just said, “Welp. Might as well upgrade then.” Then the CRTC here stepped up and told the big three carriers here to knock it off.

I had a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ that I held onto for three and a half years. That was the longest I’d ever kept a smartphone. It was going strong too. Alas, I found out security updates were knocked down to quarterly from monthly. And after this year, it would receive nothing more. I reluctantly looked into the Galaxy S23 Ultra as a replacement and thanks to a good deal, I have that phone now. It’s an amazing device too and I hope it carries me for another 3+ years.

Subbed!

Bun bun.

Titanfall 2’s campaign. I don’t replay a lot of games, but I’ve played through that one a good few times.

This just makes too much sense.

This reminds me, I need to go see if Lemmy has a Thanks I Hate It (TIHI) community yet.

I’m enjoying the hell out of it. Could be the novelty of everything, but I’m liking it more than Reddit. And like I’ve seen many here say, I tend to respond and have conversations here more often.

Plus, Connect for Lemmy is very nice on my Android phone. I was waiting for Sync of Lemmy to arrive, but I’m not so sure I’ll switch.

You’ve over-seconded it!

They’re just bologna logs.
