  I’m in and from the US and can confirm it is awful and incredibly taxing on the mental health of the sane.

  Yeah I thought this was a rare positive action from him.

  At least your nonce is being kind of punished a little. Our nonces over here in the US get to keep doing what they were doing like nothing happened.

  That’s an interesting point and I think you maybe phrased how I’ve felt about twitter and twitter style social media as compared to lemmy/reddit sites. I agree with you there 100%.

  I never really even thought to research that much. I scanned the different instances. I joined into privacysafe.social - it seemed fine. Being that I have only been on it for a few hours and have only followed 9 accounts, I can’t say I’ve noticed many issues regarding my feed at this point. Although I wish I could organize my feed by newest first. It doesn’t seem to be that way by default. I have just had a couple minor bugs with profile pages loading strangely.

  Oh wow. That’s great to hear! I have, since commenting, set up an account myself. App seems a little bit buggy but, I don’t plan on being on it a lot. I appreciate the interesting feedback from you and the others who took the time to reply.

  Asking genuinely: do people still use Mastodon? It boomed briefly when Musky took twitter but for whatever reason, people decided to go to the data harvesting, ad filled blue sky. I never got either of them but have been recently thinking of mastodon but assumed people don’t still use it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Call to change law after BBC finds women were covertly filmed on nights out⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Should be illegal, yes. I’m from the US and my partner and I a few months back looked up videos about Manchester because we want to go on a trip there eventually and we came across an uploader who seems to linger around outside of clubs to film women who don’t seem to be aware he is recording them. It is really creepy and gross.

  I need to expand my exposure to British rappers so thank you. I love The Streets and mostly enjoy Stormzy but aside from that, I don’t know much. This is solid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Universal basic income needed to cushion blow from AI job losses, says UK minister⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. We can’t have universal healthcare but we can have a TRILLION dollar defense budget. Great! And on top of that, our “president” also is getting European countries to increase their defense spending which will eat away at social programs so, that’s cool too. Who needs to directly help improve the quality of life for people when we can have more bombs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Universal basic income needed to cushion blow from AI job losses, says UK minister⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Just like here in the states, I have talked to a lot of people who firmly believe universal healthcare is not possible here because we can’t afford it. The brainwashing from the people in power with all of the money telling us we can’t have basic things is pretty crazy.

  You mean London is expensive? Who could’ve known?!

  If someone who wasn’t inconceivably wealthy had created it then they probably would have been arrested by now.
