I think it might be kind of nice to be Tom Hanks and have the name WilsonsOnlyFriend@lemmy.world and just chat and chill.

I don’t work in tech and I’m not a video game player. Am i a normie? I stay on Facebook because of the things you mentioned - i want to know how my old aunt is doing, get the link to my cousin’s music performances, see what play or concert is showing this weekend, and post to my neighborhood when my dogs escape. I only used Twitter to follow local bars, restaurants, and music venues for happy hours and event info. That kinda died with covid so i closed my Twitter account. I don’t really understand influencers. I’d love to see more local content here but I’m not sure we have the people to support it. I guess the way to start is to share the local info i get from Facebook to the Texas and dfw communities here, but that doesn’t draw more people. Among my friends, r/ is sort of made fun of as something their husbands follow for jokes, memes, and boobs.
Guitars are given names, have human characteristics (voice, curves, etc.) frequently described as sexy. I think guitars and cars deserve porn sites.
You could make a different account for each category. Would be kind of clunky having to switch when you want to read each category.
Not a tech nerd or privacy enthusiast -just an old mom who occasionally shitcomments. I like it here.
Definitely not going to defend ercot, but that was a very strong wind. Easy for me to say; i didn’t really lose power or trees. I did lose a litter box.
Ah. Yeah. I think i read about people being tracked. It seems like they make it easy to steal a bag and turn off the tracker, but i guess they could also just throw it away, so it’s the same.
The instructions are just to remove the battery, which i guess is kind of obvious.
We’ve been allied with Israel for 60 years. Bibi is fucking that up and needs to go. I’m not sure that being the mediator between a powermonger and a terrorist organization is the right answer. I don’t know what the right answer is. How many Americans are still there and what should we do to get them home?
We’re negotiating with Hamas?
I just airtagged my dogs - they’re escapers. Set it up with my husband’s iPhone. I scanned a tag with my android and it gave me the option to erase the tag. Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of the tag?
I know mastodon is very popular and I’ve browsed around a few times, but i don’t really get it. It’s person following instead of topic following, right? I had a Twitter account, but i only followed local bars, music venues, etc. to see upcoming events and happy hours deals. I can’t think of a person i would want to follow.
Most people i know don’t complain a lot about the other places. When i bring up the constant marketing and such, they mostly don’t care. When interacting with people you know on social media there’s an expectation that you follow them, post/respond appropriately, etc. It’s tiring. I would use a different account.
Will you share your name with them? Did you communicate with irl people on the other place?
Most of my friends are fully entrenched in mainstream social media and i don’t think there’s much interest in doing something different. I have a couple of friends and family members who i think are probably here, but we don’t talk about it.
I don’t. When people say, “Do you use r/?” I reply with, “I left it during the blackout.” That usually ends it.
Moms get a pass.
Oh man! Healthcare (esp. hospitals) makes so much trash!!!
Some days it feels like i just talk few words and move side to side.
