That is a good book.

Re: downvoting; I think it’s just knee jerk reaction to any suggestion Facebook can do anything good. I have the same reaction but, like you, there’s a specific group I belong to that doesn’t exist elsewhere and it’s one of the few groups that isn’t toxic or hysterical.

F* no.

This is not an airport. You don’t have to announce your departure. You can just leave.

You can’t just say blocked. It doesn’t work that way. #michaelscott

That’s the app I use. It is nice.

I just find the federated timeline a good way to find new people. Because everyone is stuffed onto the flagship instance, there’s prolly lots on the local timeline. But not so for smaller or newer instances.

A true poet!

This comment hurts my brain. There’s a lot more to the fediverse than a single app.

Some (all?) of the apps just wrap the FB website so they can’t really tell what’s happening to block it or could do so without hitting a bunch of innocents.

Addling a vote for Fastmail. It’s great, priced right, privacy centric, has wicked 1Passwold integration (including disposable email addresses) and nerdy features for those who want them.

Personally I use Hey but that’s because imma snob.

I recently had a Kona loaner with that. It was so dumb.

Thank you, I did not know that.

Do you have to block communities? I thought you could just not join them to avoid their content.
