@Wolven @wonkothesane My optimistic take is that we’re a ways away from another service establishing a lock-in monopoly like Twitter did. I think the fedi, BlueSky, and Threads are all around for the long term, and there will certainly be other places still to come.

Anecdotally it feels like I hear more cases of someone catching Covid within a month of getting a shot, than within a month of their last infection. Is there anything to that?

@kissane That makes sense. Also, yikes. I figured I had about a month to be more relaxed about masking. (Still doing it mostly, but assumed it was mostly as a signal to others…which made me feel a little obnoxious.)

Collecting anecdotes, data, and anecdata on people and orgs who’ve left Twitter and found higher engagement from ostensibly fewer followers. This is in preparation for a renewed pitch to the org I’m in, to begin the process of x-trication. Boosts appreciated!

What’s important here is we’re going to end up with significant chunks of the fedi in both camps, and we should plan accordingly. https://social.tchncs.de/@mialikescoffee/111606781070232406

If Joe on a Threads-federated instance follows Sue on a Threads-blocking instance, and boosts a post by Sue, Joe's followers on Threads then see Sue's post, right? It would be cool if there was a way to prevent that, while still allowing Joe to follow Sue.

Getting conflicting answers on this, seems like an extremely important question! Suffice to say, if a queer or otherwise marginalized person on a Threads-blocking instance can easily be boosted into the awareness of Libs of Tik Tok, then defederating Threads is insufficient to protect users, and we may see a full schism.

What are some places in the #boston area that are giving out free #Covid rapid tests? I saw some a few weeks ago at the #cambridgema public library, not sure if they're still there...

We need the left to come to broadly understand Big Tech as our enemy, the way they see us. And we need to start organizing accordingly, and build up alternatives to render their services irrelevant. We have the people, the talent. We just need to prioritize this and get organized. (And some funding)

This is bigger than X and Elon Musk. It's bigger than Democrats vs Republicans. It doesn't matter that you know how to curate nazis out of your individual feed.Allowing that site to remain viable and central is giving a broader movement of tech fascism a win that we could easily take away.

Are there any good "lower end" (not too much over $1000) ebikes that are lighter weight? I got a used Rad Power folding bike which I love, and I want to get my wife an ebike of her own - but I think her main hesitancy is how heavy they are.

The cafe I'm in is playing relaxing bossa nova which gets significantly less relaxing when you notice it's on an infinite loop.

It's actually impressively bad:* The entire loop is less than a minute and a half (yes I timed it)* Very internally repetitive, and yet* The "seam" between the end and beginning is extremely awkward and obvious

Got a rental car and inspected the outside but noticed later that there was a cigarette burn in the driver's seat. Should I report it when I return it in the morning?
