Sad that NPR is not considered "mainstream" these days. Maybe Joe Rogan will post something to Facebook about it?

I agree with your overall sentiment but also literally 100% of BlueSky users are on one instance.
BlueSky is not federated. Also German users have outsized representation on Mastodon but most of the network is outside Germany.
I love the moments when it's demonstrated that Ferengi can be actually very astute when it comes to diplomacy/interplanetary relations... their culture just has a completely different set of values.
Yeah it's certainly not the worst series of episodes and as you implied it does some good world building. It just doesn't do it for me the same way that "why is everyone treating O'Brien like he's shady?" does.
Those look like a forbidden snack! I also didn't know about that book thanks for sharing.
I wish more people would understand that mastodon can talk to lemmy can talk to piefed etc…
I mean, raising awareness of that is the purpose of this community, yeah?
They made a comment saying there are "only 300 users" so I think it's just a misunderstanding of federation.
Honestly I am of the mindset that the fewer people on Reddit the better, MAGAts included since we can always be defederate from their communities on the Fediverse anyway. But I also doubt they will ever leave centralized platforms since time and time again it's been shown that their "ideology" (in as much as it exists) depends largely on having someone to provoke/convert that is forced to listen to them. Reddit makes a lot of money off of the "engagement" that they produce.
Back in the day Nike was fashion-non-grata due to their well known child labor practices. The fact that they reinvented the brand to the degree that they actually became aligned with punk/skater culture still blows my mind. Advertising is a powerful tool.
I once went to Greece and the BnB host flat out told me I was there at the wrong time of year and my vacation could have been a lot better. I found it oddly refreshing.
fwiw I agree, but it doesn't appear to be considered mainstream by the guy I was replying to.
