When did the “Mission: Impossible” films become action movies?

Eagerly anticipating the author's next article, "Is it time for America to elect its first Black President?"

Did anyone unsubscribe just because the name changed?

...ripped? From Netflix?

Three people I followed on Twitter made the move. Two of them eventually moved back. Everyone else stayed. That's where the discussion is.

What I want to see is still hanging out on Twitter.

My Mastodon feed averages one post every two or three days.

But the entire point of getting the info from Reddit is so I didn't have to do that. Why watch seven hours of wrestling per week when I could watch two minutes of highlights and read discussions of the events?

There are people on Mastodon?

I'd be happy enough with just new content TBH. Totally out of the loop on wrestling and movies without Reddit.

This is the exact sort of thinking maegul was attempting to debunk..

The NBL in Australia tried this a couple of seasons ago and nobody gave a shit. It was quickly abandoned.

It's certainly not going to do anything to entice the "why watch the game when I can catch highlights on Twitter" crowd, and as with the proper championship most teams will have zero chance.

The other difference is that winning the Premier League just means finishing on top at the end of the season. The NBA already has playoffs.

But this doesn't change any of that.

as happened with Android recently that a large community can be closed down and redirected

What's this about?

I don't understand the purpose of this.

Notifications can be muted via the Android OS for any given app, if you don't want notifications you're welcome to do that. Making a lack of notifications compulsory is just stupid. I'm opening Lemmy more frequently now, having to check manually for replies, than if I could trust my empty notification bar and just not bother.

I keep getting network errors. I'd actually given up assuming I just couldn't post at all. Deleting is turning out to be just as painful a process...

I've never got a notification from Jerboa in my life. The number appears on the envelope on the bottom row, but I never get any sort of alert. Lemmy is super quiet so I don't check it very often (my home feed gets one post and zero comments on an average day), and once discovered responses to me that were a day old.

you can use kbin to subscribe to microblogs such as mastodon and have them appear in your feed.

How does that even make sense? They're completely different types of content.

If Threads is just another Mastodon instance why does anyone care?

If everything is just decentralised instances what are kbin and Lemmy, exactly? They're not instances in themselves, are they?

What on earth is Plume?

What exactly is Threads?

How does any of this work?

I thought I had a handle on what Mastodon was, but then there was this threads thing, and Lemmy is apparently also part of the Fediverse but not Mastodon, I assume, and Threads is its own thing, and calckey and kbin exist, maybe, and I'd never heard of Plume until this post...I don't understand any of this. Reddit and Twitter are how I would generally follow this sort of happening but Mastodon and Lemmy are ghost towns I don't really understand how to use. I'm so utterly lost I don't even know where to begin with finding answers. I don't even have known unknowns, just unknown in unknowns.
