I made a twitter account last week for a business and it will not show me anything except Elon and Trump stuff even though I keep clicking see less/mute/block etc. It’s truly insane over there now, even besides just the way it works.

I used my phone carrier email, but I haven’t actually used pixelfed since verifying. Not sure if there’s anything there for me.
I like the tidy forum format and experience that Reddit/lemmy brings. My brain has never been able to make sense of how to benefit from twitter, mastodon, Instagram, tiktok, etc.

I was able to confirm that sdf’s pixelfed will send and confirm emails, by using a different email provider other than Gmail.

My Gmail account will absolutely not show me any emails from sdf pixelfed, so I just changed my pixelfed email to my phone number @ my carriers email/sms bridge domain, and that let me confirm my account.

- Comment on In general, people on Lemmy don't want high effort or high quality posts that take longer than 30 seconds to digest. 2 months ago:
Everyone’s different, but I come here for a quick casual reprieve from my day to day. Sometimes a more involved post or conversation will capture me, but the stars have to align. Right mood, right amount of free time (or lack of awareness of unfree time), right subject matter, presentation, etc.
I like the idea of engaging in a sophisticated way, but social media taking a back seat is how I need my life to be, usually.
That said, if you’re creating content, do it for the love of the game. You’re making a contribution to a movement separately from social media itself.
- Comment on D-Link refuses to patch yet another security flaw, suggests users just buy new routers — D-Link told users to replace NAS last week 2 months ago:
Commodity hardware & open source software for the win.
When my Western Digital NAS was never going to get critical security patches, I was so freaking glad to find out that they just used software raid… I threw them in a Debian server and never looked back.
It’s certainly nice to have things that are turn-key, but if you can find your way around any OS, just avoid proprietary everything.

I’ve had 2 multiple day power outages in the Milwaukee area, and 4 or 5 shorter ones over the past few years. It literally never used to happen.
