Somehow the Beepberry people got their hands on tons of BlackBerry keyboards. I assume they get in trouble because if you look at the site now, all the keyboards are pixelated to be unreadable. But I just assumed that these were international BB keyboards so probably some other script like Arabic or Cyrillic, etc.

“Warez”. That’s a name I’ve not heard for a long time.

This works. If OP has a SIM card (vs esim) then it’s easy to move it back and forth between phones as the problem ebbs and flows. I have a $60 “feature” phone (the non-slang name for them) that sits in a drawer and comes out a few times a year to quell the noise.

You are, in fact, doom scrolling.

Does GtS not support relays? That’s what everyone uses to seed their new instances. I’m on a single user instance and have thousand of posts from hundreds of instances coming in daily.

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.

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.
