Bloodbeech Forest

I never used Discord but used google hangouts before switching to Telegram and Matrix (the former for family and the latter for everything else).

It isn’t different and you are rightfully confused about the way they phrased that.

We don’t know if axions are a real thing. This is still highly speculative.

Would if they were sold in the local store. My executive function makes it hard to go hunting for places to buy the things I need on a regular basis.

It’s worth considering the environmental impact of spending a whole plastic bag (even if small) for what often amounts to rabbit-sized poop in case you have a smaller dog. I’m one of those owners that make contextual judgements about when to pick up and when to leave it or flick it into a nearby bush with a stick. I’m not picking up poop off-trail in the forest. Also generally not alongside car roads (talk about pollution).

I know owning pets is not environmentally sound, so all I can do is mitigate.

No, only comments made after they refederate

If this is a reference, I’m not getting it.

I don’t disagree. I want to see topic aggregation as soon as possible too.

My comment was in response to the implication that people who exercise their right to not listen to everyone talking are using defederation as some sort of weapon to fulfil their chaotic, destructive agenda while free-speech instances are merely open to any and all interactions like exemplary participants in a civilised democratic society.

If you actually want to know what my perspective is, I just wrote about it: https://mander.xyz/post/739439

I don’t think of the threadiverse as a link aggregation platform but as a network of communities engaging in threaded discussion. The federated model is an answer to the problem of platform lock-in, the network effect, and the lack of autonomy communities have on proprietary/commercial/centralised platforms.

Each instance separately may fill the role of link aggregator but mainly for that community (instance), with that community’s values and moderation policies. The ability for an instance to federate with other instances with compatible policies is the benefit here.

It may actually help if you view an instance as the community, with its “communities” as its topics.
