@PurpCat @SuperSnekFriend @coolboymew @RehnSturm256 Honestly, before Poast came along, what united this side of the fedi was the value of decentralization and wanting to get away from big tech. Other than that, there wasn't that much drama between users, outside of the Mastodon NetworkTM side that blocks anyone that is on some fediblock list on GitHub. I had people from all backgrounds following me, anime-avatar Nazis, libertarians, conservatives, conspiracy theorists, tech enthusiasts, and people who just hated big tech but were otherwise "normies".
I think the problem with most of the Poastoids is that they have the mentality that any community they participate in should be their own echo-chambers. Now you got these people gatekeeping something that isn't even theirs, and the fediverse is even more fractured than ever.
Nostr seems to be more like pre-2021 fedi. That's probably why Alex Gleason seems to have favored it over fedi now. There are still a lot of people who constantly talk about how Bitcoin is going to save the world, but if you can get past that, it's pretty laid-back. And the way it operates means that users are forced to judge other users on an individual basis instead of blocking entire instances.
@coolboymew @PurpCat @SuperSnekFriend @RehnSturm256 I like it better when this place was more laid-back and open minded.
@MechaSilvio @confederatehobo @sickburnbro My area has stores selling milk in glass bottles. You are expected to return the bottles after consumption and you get $2 back. It works as far as I can tell.
@gentoobro @PurpCat @jyushimatsu And that is also the problem because you need to have played a diverse library of games in order to be a good dev. Masahiro Sakurai even played the games he hated growing up just to learn what does and does not work.
@matthew I used to work for my great uncle's electric company, doing data entry and he did not know what Microsoft Excel was. I used his Microsoft Word templates and manually calculated everything in the tables.
Neither side will make housing affordable, at least not on purpose. To do that you need the price of houses to drop by around 80%. Yeah, current homeowners will get rekt, but they weren't complaining when they were getting magical "appreciation" money and getting free inflation money in the form of their mortgage. House prices will come down when mortgage rates stay high, like 10%+, for several years at least. Artificially low rates are what caused the housing price inflation in the first place.
@BigDawg869789 I don't know. Closest to COD multiplayer I played with GoldenEye 007 for the Wii and I don't think those servers are active anymore.
