• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you use other federated software besides Lemmy (e.g. Mastodon/Pixelfed/etc.), if so which?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Mastodon but not nearly as much as Lemmy.

  Bookwyrm but not nearly as much as Mastodon.

  I really wanted Bookwyrm to be more useful for me. But it’s really not geared towards what I want in keeping track of books. ymmv

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Few people can focus enough to read.

  I work in a technical field. In the past few years I’ve learned that interacting by email usually requires one-line sentences or bullet points, with any questions being numbered. No fluff, no secondary thoughts or possibilities. Keep it as minimal as possible.

  It still fails to elicit a coherent response about half the time, but it’s the best I’ve found so far.

  It didn’t use to be like this. But what’s to blame; screen addiction, microplastics, covid, increased stress, … ?
