use the fediverse through threads or bluesky

Bluesky is not part of the fediverse and threads is mostly technically capable to be part of it - it is however blocked from the most other instances.

Besides the already sketchy AI thing, I wonder why they need to know gender & ethnicity.

Decentralization will help a lot, though.

The decentralisation of Bluesky is a joke.

The whole “To the Moon” series.

For huge countries as like the US: Maybe. You have enough space to also store the trash somewhere for thousands of years.

For small countries, like most of Europe, where the population density is way higher: hard pass.

People also seem to be forgetting that there are a lot of crazy dictators with bombs right now.

Likely only compared to the industrialisation era:

Non accusatory, mostly. I would just straight up ask, how he got the money (and make sure that he doesn’t commit tax evasion by accident). He would have the option to not tell me of course.

I prefer this to “sharing the undies with the faculty”.

Sure, me too. That’s why…

It is mostly about feeling safe with my chosen family and being able to actually plan a life. As of now I see basically no point in planning any part of my future as it feels as if any plan I could make could be disrupted at any moment.

I know this is a hard ask, since no one can see into the future. It is essentially a question that should not exist. Where do I go and can actually live 50-60 years without the fear of getting killed by an angry mob at some point? Where do I go where this question is not part of the equation?

Ideally that country also should still exist, as climate change will swallow some countries as well.

I am from Germany as well. And I agree right now it is okay. But we are on a downwards trend (just this week a queer bar has been set ablaze). And when I look towards the next election I fear that this downward trend could go get even worse.

They don’t blame young people. They blame lack of education.

But Syncthing Fork is not shut down and is still maintained (never used the main version tbh).

I’ve used Joplin before which was okay-ish (but borked the e2e encryption during an update).

Now I would recommend Silverbullet if you are really keen on self hosting a notes app.

But the notes that work best for me is simply Obsidian + Syncthing-Fork (you could self host a syncthing server), thanks to its sheer ability to adapt to nearly any use case thanks to its plugin.

Lol, that is not realistic for most players. The original 5 million gold was not realistic back then either.

Come to Germany, we still use parts from emperors time😂

Time for the EU to rip him a new one :)

Check out beszel, nearly no setup needed.

Furries are people who enjoy dressing up as or creating characters based on anthropomorphic animals, which are animals that have human-like traits such as walking on two legs, talking, or wearing clothes. These characters might be foxes, wolves, cats, or any other animal but with a personality or appearance that feels human-like.

Some furries create artwork, write stories, or role-play as these characters online, while others might dress up in costumes called “fursuits” to bring their characters to life in the real world. It’s a hobby and a community that’s mostly about creativity, imagination, and expressing yourself through these animal characters.

Is this a community, is this a sexual thing?

It can be either or both. I think for the most part it is community though. For some it starts as one and then expands into the other. For me it really is a lot about self discovery & self expression, SFW & NSFW, and makes me feel more connected to the world.

Or to put it in mature comic form: https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/furry/

Is it an American thing?

No, European here with quite some insight. I think the map in the other post is slightly misleading, as bigger countries like the US have more conventions than smaller countries is kind of obvious.

If you have more questions, feel free to ask 😊 I will do my best to offer my perspective on this.

The easiest solution I found and use is Beszel.
