What? I had no idea! I manually migrated my subscriptions over when I switched!

It was hard for me, so I vote everyone must manually do it, for character building or some such bullshit.

I always mention whenever I see libro.fm brought up: if you don’t have a local store you want to support for whatever reasons, Firestorm in Asheville, North Carolina is a fantastic refuge for the local queer community, it’s a worker cooperative, and they’re struggling to survive. Please consider them if there isn’t another local place in your own community. With the big book stores and then Amazon, a lot of communities don’t have a physical local shop anymore, so if someone has a plug for their local, I think it’s worth making on these kinds of threads.

I will definitely check that out and try to use it before checking marketplace, but I honestly can’t imagine I’ll find anyone selling anything near me. I’m fairly rural, and even the nearest “city” isn’t exactly a thriving metropolis.

Only ones I use are YouTube and fb marketplace because Craigslist is totally dead here, but it’s from an alt account I’ve never used for anything at all.

Back when Boomer humor was at least a little anti rich/elite

I’m really excited for it. I might actually be able to get my family off Whatsapp because of fuckerberg, but I can’t get them to move twice. I’m debating pushing signal now, or waiting it out for sup

I forgot about spacehey! I made an account and never got around to setting it up. Shame it’s not part of the fediverse, though! Myspace had that part where you could, like, post a random letter or something that wasn’t confined to your friends. I can’t remember what it was called. I just remember Mrs. Abnorman Punkrockwell used to post open letters. Lmao. Anyway, it would be perfect for integrating into Mastodon, and Myspace groups would be perfect for integrating into Lemmy.

Honestly, friendica seems cool, in the same way Facebook seemed cool in the early days, but if we’re remaking social media for the fediverse, can we try to remake Myspace instead?

Is Dansup personally building the entire fediverse? I didn’t realize loops was a fedi thing, tbh. Just started noticing it the other day, seems awesome.

Was there every any progress on sup? I’d love to find a way to get my family to ditch whatsapp

How do I do this? Because honestly, yeah, I’ve come to a point where I’m realizing that, while it’s my responsibility to do what I can in the world, it is not my responsibility to just bear witness to suffering when I can do nothing to prevent it. All it’s doing it hurting me for no gains to anyone.

Firstly, that would be awesome, but imagine the spam.

Secondly, I’m a proponent of thorn, I get it. But ð was almost exclusively used medially and terminally in English. In addition it didn’t last nearly as long, and is much less recognizable as a letter in English. Þ was used initially, and is far more commonly seen in English. I get that you’re using them for voiced and unvoiced like in Icelandic, but that wasn’t so much the convention in English. I’m not against it, I’m asking to be sold on it. Lol. Sell me on why I need eth instead of just using thorn for both voiced and unvoiced, please? I’m willing to be converted.

And third, I’m having trouble finding it, was eth on it’s own ever used as a single letter spelling of the, or is that your own addition? I like it. When writing (by hand) notes or things only I’ll be reading, I use the þe shorthand that looks like an e cradled in the crook of a y, like was common in colonial America.
