Nothing to add, but this is a wildly distopian thread.

But I need sunscreen or my stupid Irish skin will turn into a big lump of cancer anyway.

Since I’ve begun “trying” in the kitchen, I eat way healthier than ever before, and most of my meals are better and cheaper than restaurant equivalents.

Anyone have the backstory here?

I think we got to a point in corporate comms where everyone decided we have to post at a regular interval, even when there’s nothing interesting happening.

This feela like a good time to revaluate what we do on social. I have thought about standing up an instance, but realistically we have our internal Teams that employees use… So they wouldn’t use it, and I can’t imagine myself subscribing to a bunch of company instances, so it seems like it’s an effort for nobody.

That said we often put on community events like hackathons. I think situations like that are perfect for posting on our cyber security servers.

Less white noise trash is better.

I was recently asked by my employer if we should move our social media efforts to fediverse and my recommendation was that this community it’s both too small and also would be hostile (rightly) to corporate empty posting.

As soon as threads has a web interface that’s usable I will be starting up there…

You put your recycling in the blue can, compost in the green can and your corporate garbage on Meta.

Weird. Have you updated

Edit- I’m noticing they don’t always show, and I’m not sure what the consistency is.

It would be cool if apps made showing avatars an option. I could see why someone wouldn’t like them… I just remember pictures easier than names because I’m a little special, so they work for me.

That said, I’m not saying we should go crazy and do table breaking SA red text avatars.

I’m using the web ui now. I think it hits a good balance of not too big, not too small.

Only if they can power up on slurp juice.

Not everyone has one. They’re emoji sized by people’s names. It may also be instance based… I’m not sure how it all works yet.

This is my fear. A huge wave of newbs (myself included) all out here trying to figure it out. I feels like a hacker playground.

Does DEFCON have a fediverse hacking competition this year?

I guess I’ve never run scripts in Firefox.

This is great, and would make for a super useful Firefox extension.
