I already made a post about this account and it got downvoted. 3 month old account with over 5 million karma.

They’re always posting political engagement slop so either a bot or a paid troll. Or at least I hope they’re getting paid.

There’s no use in interacting with posts, say, 8 hours old or so. Maybe less. Everybody has already moved on.

Edit: that’s why I like the slower pace of the Fediverse, it’s like the old messages boards I grew up with, with posts that simmered for days/months and there wasn’t endless scrolling to steal your attention.

The last straw for me was getting rid of sorting by Hot on my main feed, effectively making it useless. I don’t want to sort by Best that shows posts from days ago, get that Facebook shit out of here. Also there was a new tab that interspersed “recommended posts” in your main feed. It’s an option now but I doubt it would be in the future. The point of having a curated feed is to see shit you’re subscribed to, not whatever engagement slop is on r/popular.

There’s real people on there but they’re extremely difficult to differentiate between the bots. Everybody on there sounds the same.

Capitalism ruins all hobbies.

My favorite is when I see a 2 month old account with 4 million karma. Yeah that’s totally a real person.

I only used payday loans 20 years ago when I was young and dumb(er). And I mostly used it so I can buy weed quicker before payday. Shit is a scam.

Trails in the Sky, 1st chapter on my Steam Deck. Probably one of the best JRPGs I’ve played.

I am so fucking tired of betting apps, sorry excuse me, “trading apps”. I had to stop watching the MLB playoffs cause it was just nonstop ads for this sports betting shit.

I got a new phone a year ago and didn’t bother setting up the voicemail. It’s outdated, just text me.
