Post things. Whatever you want. Hashtags can help, but they are entirely up to you.<br/><br/>2. Like what you enjoyed, made you smile, made you cry, or just that you want to acknowledge to the original poster that they were seen.<br/><br/>3. Boost things you love that you think your followers would also enjoy seeing.<br/><br/>4. Mute folks, phrases, hashtags, etc. that you don&#39;t want to see.<br/><br/>5. Block problematic accounts (or whole instances) that you don&#39;t ever want to see and that you don&#39;t want to see you.<br/><br/>6. Ignore trolls. (See also mute and block features.)<br/><br/>7. Post all your pet pics (with alt text!).<br/><br/>Hope this helps. 2026-01-22T18:23:51Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszp2cgw0x6rx5jv65ggk4chv7mva42t7ynesxymvzs59xgf32p5kczyzfcnk6j46rm08mjmscezgfn2fh2vxmy8kzphy7l9jr7ky88fzhk63u9kqp This seems like a #TTRPG the fediverse probably already knows about, but just in case you don&#39;t ...<br/><br/>Not currently in print, but there are downloads to all the game elements that are free for you to print yourself.<br/><br/><a href="https://thefuture.wtf">https://thefuture.wtf</a><br/><br/>#games #solarpunk 2026-01-21T02:03:20Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspkjvpgfrnwgy43vn8cq3a7veky2xlpff29nmhkgducfusphp9d6szyzfcnk6j46rm08mjmscezgfn2fh2vxmy8kzphy7l9jr7ky88fzhk6k0ufns !important poll about cookies (the edible kind).<br/><br/>There is only one right answer, of course.<br/><br/>#poll #cookies #dessert #preferences 2026-01-15T20:37:33Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrm4n3x6ynllhgpye6ntdgsvh8k68e265zsekx9z4gsv5f0nrllpgzyzfcnk6j46rm08mjmscezgfn2fh2vxmy8kzphy7l9jr7ky88fzhk67xzjky Do you do strength training?

A collection of sci-fi short stories from a native perspective. Really enjoyable. I took it in within a day.<br/><br/>3. Becoming Kin, by Patty Krawec.

Remembered why I abandoned Feditext previously. I never could get notifications to work well only. That hasn&#39;t changed.<br/><br/>Also installed Tusky and Moshidon to give them a shot. Tusky was what I used first. Moshidon is new to me.<br/><br/>Haven&#39;t uninstalled Megalodon, though it is apparently no longer maintained. Alas.<br/><br/>Will see what sticks this go around. (Feditext is already uninstalled.) 2025-01-07T01:21:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsz7htdc9tpuc8pnv5tf30erprenvmzzhh0ptkdzl7xhnqud7a4wuqzyzfcnk6j46rm08mjmscezgfn2fh2vxmy8kzphy7l9jr7ky88fzhk6yjxglw I&#39;ve quoted this a few times without attribution, so time to quote it with credit to the person who said it:<br/><br/>&#34;I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.&#34;<br/><br/>~ Joanna Maciejewska<br/><br/>#ai #artificialIntelligence #llm 2025-01-06T16:59:52Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsw3s2rcsm9uc0ldm0guretnh9ahn96w9sx9nyutwpjmh2kxcsa4fqzyzfcnk6j46rm08mjmscezgfn2fh2vxmy8kzphy7l9jr7ky88fzhk6djpkhk Apple, worth some $3.5 trillion dollars, was fined a whopping $95 million for some Siri tracking / privacy stuff.<br/><br/>For perspective, that&#39;s someone worth $100,000 getting fined ... $2.58. 2025-01-05T13:15:02Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsx85az5e5yxldjpdgk8tvgyrvfhpmgz3dq3285rh7fse62jgez7tszyzfcnk6j46rm08mjmscezgfn2fh2vxmy8kzphy7l9jr7ky88fzhk6ttkstf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgrrgzmwhxtv5tgnpswzudajqlqxvkn48l45426hr2azsckha3rws6jmpek'>nevent1q…mpek</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Might also work to require gun owner&#39;s insurance (another revenue stream, dontchaknow) and hold insurance liable. 2024-12-16T21:56:37Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfhehltgc9vpuq3qtffajqthgd886hd2xjwedvmq5ytavykg5jm5qzyzfcnk6j46rm08mjmscezgfn2fh2vxmy8kzphy7l9jr7ky88fzhk65sdk6w So, uh, South Korea, huh?<br/>If 2025 could just hold off for a month, that&#39;d be grand. 2024-12-03T15:10:31Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstgxk0wsn2mqngt8k0qwun22zvu9rd5zxd73f3cdyw78vx7meyplczyzfcnk6j46rm08mjmscezgfn2fh2vxmy8kzphy7l9jr7ky88fzhk6x9ejh8 ChatGPT might get ads?
