Ah good, as long as the searching keeps you occupied. Enjoy
No. I would genuinely circle all the phones and tech in an Argos Catalogue. And the Lego as well.
You do you. I think Argos stopped printing them but I’m sure other shops still offer physical.
In reality I probably wouldn’t. Idk. And also it’s be so much easier to just go online now that glenmcfar has explained that “Technology is ok”
Also with regards to your earlier messages, you shouldn’t have to explain your own choices about kids to people on here just because they can’t comprehend living in the 21st century, and things being a little different. The only person’s business it is is yours and your partners.
Aww. Thank you, Jo.
I feel bad about calling you out in other threads now… whenever you use non-words etc.
I mean, I don’t feel bad enough to stop doing it but it’s the thought that counts.
I’m not directing this at you personally, but a lot of the people who judge and complain about kids on tablets in restaurants are the first ones who would get annoyed if the kids weren’t occupied and sitting quietly minding their own business!
On the one hand, I think moving away from X is a good thing.
On the other, it upsets me slightly that big names like this are using .bsky.social handles instead of their own domain names
This is somthing I see on Masotodon all the time. So many brands using mastodon.social, when it really isn’t hard to set up your own server.
Feels like hosting your website on Geocities or having an email address at Yahoo.
That said…if you have your own server acme.com you also have to have acme.bsky.social to prevent pretenders. It is an issue with the multiverse that there is nothing to stop someone using your name/username on Mastodon with multiple different servers. At least with Twitter/X you had your name and there would be _ or - or numbers there to show it wasn’t you.
Decided to make the plunge about a fortnight ago and left Twitter, ran a script to delete all 21,000 Tweets, stuck it on private cause of that stupid Block change (despite me having no posts now) and will just keep it now for as and when.
Will still open it every now and again to see what’s been happening (news/trends/friends who I met on there) but for the most part, I’ve left - something I never thought I’d do and would ride the tide, but dear lord it’s become for me an unbearable place to be.
Bluesky feels like a breathe of fresh air but I also feel like I’ve exhausted my need for these types of social sites, they’ve now become a nice to have rather than a need to have for me.
