mastodon dot social is "filtering notifications" on an account that I have deliberately followed - several times now I think.

I love the overall moderation but this in particular feels a bit broken

No more WFH. Please come back to the office for the amazing culture & benefits! It is mandatory now.

The office:

@nixCraft time to bring in a percolator and let it bubble on your desk. Tell your office mates they are welcome to use it. Create chaos.

"I miss the old internet, when the cruel people were contained to one or two websites I could ignore"

What internet would that be, exactly?

It certainly wasn't any internet I've been on, and I've been around since the 1990s.

This "nostalgia for the 'heyday of the internet'" almost always seems to be rooted in these rose-colored glasses about how things were.

I won't argue about whether things are better or worse overall, but this idea that the internet was somehow nicer is weird to me.

@hrefna Agreed, it certainly wasn't nicer. I don't miss all the "RTFM" comments that used to be everywhere and expected if asking a question on IRC.

"Happy Holy Week!

Now you can celebrate the most important time of the Christian calendar by buying your copy of the 'God Bless the USA' Bible and doing your part to Make America Great Again!

In a stunningly blatant display of white Christian nationalism, Donald Trump is encouraging his followers to buy a pro-America Bible in partnership with singer Lee Greenwood…."

"We're on pace for $10 billion+ in political ads on the 2024 election, an all-time high.

State political ad buys ahead of the Iowa caucuses broke records.

Outside groups have already dumped ~$318 million into the elections.

Folks, we need to overturn Citizens United."
