You guys are already a low trust society.
I've never seen a gas station like that. It's always you get the gas and then walk over to the cashier inside and pay.

Do Americans pay for gas before or after they pump it?

@Moon So the theory I heard is this: Q was designed to be a grand boomer pacifier and this theory was fueled when Q was driven off of imageboards by both the jannies and users who called Q nicknames like "QLarp" among other things and once Q died out it began to even get mocked by the boomers with "BlueAnon" referring to schizo leftist theories.

The reason Q was a boomer pacifier is simple. The entire Q mythos was based around the idea that there were good guys in the government who would save the day, and you just have to sit back and trust the plan. It's something that boomers would easily buy into for a good reason, and it would keep them from actually doing something during the Trump years (which arguably is probably the biggest failure of the right across the spectrum during those years, a lot didn't do shit). It worked during the Trump era both because it was a time of stability, but anyone pushing it didn't expect it would backfire so fucking hard when Trump either lost or "lost" the election.

There's a good reason why "trust the plan" is now used sarcastically to mock those who have no plan other than to sit back and shit yourself and hope by doing nothing it'll unfold.
Plan 9? How about you plan to get some bitches?

I do hate gestures too, but I think moving the buttons down would break the overall design, so gestures seem like a sensible compromise.

Nice. That's what I wanted. I agree it should be a bit more pronounced. I can't see it my phone though.
I guess I only have a one complaint left, lot of websites do this, the buttons on top left and right are uncomfortable to press on mobile. It would be nice if you could either access them with gestures.

Yeah, Fedibird is great. I have considered several times merging some of there changes, but never felt confident with not breaking anything.

@helene
The other UI's waste space imo and MastoFE has been deprecated. I also hate how Pleroma FE does (doesn't do) threads.
My fork fixes the annoying things about Mastodon so there isn't really a reason to switch.

Let's start a war in here
