@coolboymew @jeff@pl.i2p.rocks @SeanWalker Now that I think about it. It's really just the modern evolution of postcards, but now you have unlimited paper and instant delivery, so you are going to have people broadcasting every moment of their lives.
And naturally when you have everyone broadcasting everything that's on their minds, politics starts to slip in and now these sites are nothing but heated arguments and virtue signaling even though they were never designed for that.
@coolboymew @jeff@pl.i2p.rocks @SeanWalker Going to a local restaurant for the first time, watching a movie, something you saw on your walk. I think a better way to say is that it's supposed to be a journal that you write throughout the day as opposed to at the end of the day.
@coolboymew @jeff@pl.i2p.rocks @SeanWalker Microblogging sites aren't really meant for conversations. They're more for broadcasting the highlights of your day.

In his era, Martin Luther King was subversive and a threat to the establishment.
The FBI thought he was a terrorist.

@Moon Never used SSH actually. I think what would be cool is if a fedi instance could have a post via SMS like what Twitter has (or used to have), but I don't know how that could be implemented.
@Moon I really don't see the point either. It just seems like a useless gimmick for those who are nostalgic for that kind of stuff.
@beardalaxy @matrix Me too. I don't like being lumped with Fortnite dancing iPhone zombies.
@coolboymew They're actually not private companies because they take US subsidies.
@ooignignoktoo @coolboymew @mangeurdenuage This is the same Great Reset shit the World Economic Forum is pushing.
