Eddy Grundy's Ferrety World of Fun

Eddy Grundy.obvioudly hasn't learnt from previous attempts to out smart Linda Snell.

Could he really stage a village fete coup?

I suspect William will give the game away and Linda will play Eddy like an accordion.

I thought everything revolved around Mastodon.

Waiting for the day when YouTube annoy lots of users and the same discussion happens about Peertube.

KarsicKarl,

Absolutely agree.

No-one ever took the lettuce's feelings into consideration.

Will be interesting.
More likely to be noticed by calckey,misskey/friendica users who are on platforms.more similar to Facebook. Probably noticed by Mastodon users.

Not sure if kbin/Lemmy users will notice. This is based on me not noticing posts from these servers on Mastodon, calckey etc

Exactly. Absolutely anyone can set up an instance.

Want your own Instagram type system? Roll out a Pixelfed server. Want your own Lemmy.

The is big. Very big. Probably up into tens of thousands of servers. No company could take it over, which is by design.

Trolls will come up with a dumb take on anything.
Block em and.move on.

My initial response was a recollection of the plot of The Kingsman.

Sticking implants in brains for fun is stupidity on a stick.

Implants are already used to control some forms of epilepsy, however these are on the vagus nerve and not in the brain. This sort of application makes sense.

Most of Europe including anyone in UK under 60, Asia, Japan, China, Australia. People in engineering and science.

Not many use Fahrenheit.

I'm guessing you haven't been on the very long so not picked up on the ethos of most of the folk who run the various instances.
Most are very protective of what they have created as a community and are definitely not in it for the money. Some are vehemently anti-capitalist.

There are many ways to get rich. Running an instance is not one of them.

I am a donor on various instances.
I'd take a dim view of being eaten.

Each instance admin decides which servers to block for themselves. If you visit the info pages of some systems they will list blocked systems, and there are a lot of them.

There are some very unsavoury communities out there. Blocking usually revolves around how effective moderation is.

As an example you can see a list of servers blocked by mastodonapp.uk on the About page.

Oliphant maintains a minimum block list that most systems take as a starter list.

Of course downvotes can be ironic such as the one I've just added....

Why bother?

Ignore them and post away in the knowledge that noone is monetising your content.

I genuinely think Freddie Pargeter wins the most annoying person award, and possibly the dumbest.

Mocking Vince Casey's offer of a job was silly.

How old is he meant to be?

Needs Lilly to knock some sense into him.

I followed three witch hunts this week, all were successful, but despite that Rob Titchener is (like the other two witches, Boris and Trump), unlikely to go away.

Congratulations Rob, this Worst Character Of the Week award has been a long time coming. We wish you a slow, prolonged and painful recovery, preferably in North Dakota. @thearchers

@ner

@thearchers @wcow @Malwen

If he ends up getting a charge it.might affect his martial arts license.

Rob probably knows this and will use it as leverage.
