Before, in the olden times, the internet was just a bunch of random websites and forums and IRC AND USEnet.
Now it’s, “Where SHOULD I GO to be seen others and be validated?!?!”

“…the world thrives on its faults and strives, by every possible means, to aggravate them, while at the same time masking them like a congenital deformity. The signs are everywhere, though I could not always read them.”

I just thought the fediverse was going to be free of corporate/advertising/tracking shit-show.
If it isn’t going to be free of corporate bullshit why be here instead of Instagram or Twitter or Facebook?
What is the difference? None.
I used to care. But now? I don’t care where people go on the internet. Why be invested in fediverse if the fediverse is just another FaceBook?
They will take everything and shit on it.
What’s the point in being here if the corporations are coming here?
“but with its currently starting commercialization”
Wait. The fediverse is going commercial?

How near?
I take comfort in getting older and getting closer to being dead.
I can barely wait. The comfort of nothingness is a great help.
True. Once you ignore all the bad things, you only see good things.
Don’t. I mean a lot of people came here to escape advertising.
Being alone is not bad.
And a crowd seems like the loneliest place.
Damn. I missed making a good joke.
To make whoopee.
To make more than one head.
Anus? Or?
It rhymes…
Suicide poops!!!
All letters before A are silent.
Ice water after ANY mint.
They do. Just my preference. =-)
Where.
Neither. Trick question.
I’d choose the secret third option:
The cyanide pill.
