The series of tubes is actually a better analogy than what this Bill imagines the internet to be.

The great wide web. I don’t think it’s him either, but this is the channel I found.

That assumes you know all the place names of the region where you’re at. Someone that moved recently and/or lives in a tristate area (all of which are in different state regions in my case according to that map) is just faced with a very hostile design.

Which is why I’m providing feedback. I really want this to work.

Finding a farm close where you want is made unnecessarily difficult by the site’s interface. The grouping of states in regions is a hindrance and once you get to your state, the farms can’t be sorted other than by their name, so you have to look through every single one of them to find the farms close to you.

Great idea, terrible execution.

More like “lower your shields and prepare to be boarded”.

“Substitute X for Y” meaning removing Y and adding X is super weird to me. I always have to use a conscious effort not to interpret that as removing X and adding Y.

It’s sad reality of small projects. Compared to Google pulling the plug on a new service, this is easier to swallow. Someone’s hobby project (the server) go untenable and they had to close.

Butt Folgers?

Fair.

Why is it people flock to server based rss? Wtf? There are native clients galore for all platforms ever created.

You hit the nail on the head.

How would she know?

You can’t even move goalposts right. If you run a server for yourself you’ve already collected the ID for its single user.

Since you’re not interested in honest discourse and are pushing an agenda, I’ll now block you. Have a great life!

3 options:

1. Join a mastodon instance;
2. Run your own instance and connect to mastodon;
3. Run your own instance and connect to the worst of mankind;

And you’re picking #3?

You must be from the U.S., where there are no customer rights and the law only serves the rich.

I don’t think this holds in court. “I breached my contract with the plaintiff because other actors inconvenience me.”

No porn but ok to racism? Gee, I wonder I haven’t heard of that before. It’s not like there’s a free alternative with a Mastodon for a mascot.
