@f0x "write me a haiku" connected with pythons syllable thing might be fun, but maybe too easy to scam
@f0x I wonder if a secret password kinda system could work?
Like, "what is the name of the best hacker soda" or "what is the lovable shark plush?"
Wild that humans are making those accounts, though....
@f0x if you're interested, I think @forestjohnson grew his own proof of work captcha. Not sure the state of it, but thought I'd mention.

@montagsoup oh no, you're right.
@montagsoup are you familiar with

?
For some reason, my socials last year were just very full of announcements that it was Wednesday, every day of the week.
noise, bad vibes
@f0x <\3
At old apartments, I had this issue. Sometimes, I would solve it by wandering outside in a bathrobe and blearily asking what the hurry was. It would help for a day or two.
A package of donuts and a clear note "hi, I'm your neighbor and I'd really appreciate if you could wait to use the belt sander until after nine. It's loud and I don't usually get to sleep until four am. Thanks!" with said breakfast food can help. That usually worked for a week or so... It's real tiring shit.
Regardless, that is big suck and I'm sorry. 💔

Climate change
Homophobia, Japan politics
@nonphatic queer politics in Japan are... Mmm... It is not a surprise to me that so much anime is straight. If you don't know much, you might wanna Google it? But it's not, like, super pleasant.
In short, Japan is homophobic and has a declining birth rate. There's public sentiment that queer relationships don't result in children, and thus aren't something to be encouraged. This may change in time.
If you haven't seen Promare, you might enjoy it. It is well done.
@elixx sometimes a user's own moderation decision is "I will join an instance moderated by a group that I know will ban federation with servers my lizard brain doesn't like".
Yes, there's a big, necessary trust there, but choosing to say "I don't need to hear absolutely everyone on mastodon" is a legitimate choice as well. Mastodon was built to enable that kind of thing well, unlike other platforms.
I'm glad your approach makes you happy. My approach makes me happy, too.
i like kind machines. pro-people-not-dying. anti-nazi. anti-colonizer. pagan, but lazy about it.
