social media is anything but and mastodon has not ever been and will not ever be better than twitter or any similar contrived microblogging platform for as long as it retains the favourite button

i started the netizen club and the link cache, to help my yearning for a simpler internet: https://links.netizen.club/

i'm looking for work. if you know anyone who needs someone with 8+ years professional experience plumbing nearly any sort of bespoke tech, talk to me.

if you like a post where a person is talking about killing themselves that means that you like that that person wants to kill themselves, there is no other interpretation for the wording x has liked your post that i can infer in good faith and this is why i tell people not to like my negative posts unless they like that i'm in misery because if you want to convey anything else you have 26 letters and punctuation at your disposal

at least then i'd be interesting

"but that feels wrong to write, as someone who very selectively cares about grammar only when it will inconvenience people i think should be inconvenienced about it like you, making such a childish claim as to ask your name to be properly spelled"
