11. Trolls hate noisy neighbours. They'll move in with their relatives to win some peace.

@mansr It's true that trolls are invariably rich, and that they hoard silver and gold, but their relationship to iron is more ambiguous. Some trolls wield iron bars as weapons.

Time to move off mastodon.social, folks, before its unmanageable dead weight gets it defederated. (NB! This is a constructive use of quoting.)From: @rysiekhttps://mstdn.social/@rysiek/110368117503482865

Interesting. I have a Calckey account, which I follow here. Today I replied to a post on Calckey, but that reply doesn't show up on Mastodon. Why not?

@leo No. There is already enough hate on that site to warrant widespread, if not universal, defederation. Those who want access to celebs and brands who are content to share a platform with bigots and fascists may go over to the #Zuckerverse to do so.

Is there a reason @firefish won't load in Safari on an iPad? #FireFishPerhaps not Firefish per se, but at least hell.social, which is where I have an account. What say you, @satan?

@Stti23 @firefish In that case, I really need to hear from @satan.

Even though the sun is effectively below the horizon (actually behind the mountains until mid January), it does sometimes show us where it is.

@Jaycee I can't say I'm excited about Bodø2024, because I know so little about it. I know that a lot of people are getting good contracts from it, though.

Hans Christian Andersen had a detrimental effect on Norwegian writers of fairy tales, who imitated his style instead of finding their own. I'm thinking of de-Andersening certain stories, to see how they fare without the influence of the great Dane. #amwriting

We need better education than "Nazi = Bad!" We need to go into more detail concerning Nazi policies, and the effects they have on an unsuspecting population. Otherwise we're eventually going to have to go to war again.
