- Comment on Farewell... for now? - dmv.social is closing as of April 14th. 3 months ago:
This is really sad but I can’t fault you at all for this decision. I’ve seen these images before and have always thought what a scary thing this has to be for an instance owner.
I just wanted to say that you have done a great job and I really enjoyed this instance. I grew up in the DMV and this felt like a little niche family I was a part of. I always thought this instance had great growth potential and I hope things improve in the near future where you feel safe enough to return.
Full support as always and thanks for all the hard work. Gonna miss it!

TikTok is garbage and I don’t care how much my mate tries to get me to join, every time he sends me a link to some portrait mode video I cringe.
Everyone is a “content creator” nowadays. Which just makes the majority of said content complete shit.

I’m American and a) don’t equate an accent to a demeanor and b) I find Tom to be a joy.

You’re getting downvoted to shit on most of your comments but just wanted to say you are not wrong.

Saw one of these for the first time in our red neck of the woods. First thought when I saw all that black smoke coming out of that BBQ smoke stack was “how did that pass emissions?” Now I know why. Yuck
- Comment on As of right now, firefish.social has been down for nearly 2 days upgrading and changing databases, as their data migration is taking longer than expected. 🤞 8 months ago:
I was really excited for firefish. Ditched my main Mastodon account in place of it and tried it out for a month. Aside from the slowness, and the constant downtime, I found the dev’s attitude off putting. I get it, you’re doing most of this yourself, you’re under pressure, and you have a regular life. But the constant negativity with the user base trying to figure out how this site worked was a turn off. Not sure how people are supposed to get excited about your project when you yourself seem to be annoyed by it.
I moved to firefish.social from Mastodon partially because of how firefish boasted how superior they were over Mastodon and the lack of features. But there’s one feature Mastodon has working for it: Uptime

- Comment on lemmy.fmhy.ml is gone [update from the team] 11 months ago:
I initially stated on Lemmy.ml but decided to look for smaller instances. Not only just to be safe for stuff like this, but also to find a tighter community. I found an instance dedicated to the area I grew up around and have been really happy with that move.

Content was rubbish anyway. I dropped it as soon as there were talks of the password crackdown.
