Case in point.

A community only starts federating to your instance after someone on your instance subscribes to it

That sounds like a really bad way to do this.

Milksteaks.

Wasabi.

Kind of getting the sense the theme here is “OP is always thinking about food”

Which is good, because I’ve had cats that wished I would think about food more often. Like…they wish I’d never stop feeding them.

Fuck 'em. They want to do this, let Facebook, and Reddit, and Instagram, and TikTok and the fediverse, and any others that I’m forgetting refuse to serve connections to Texas.

Make Texas the ONE PLACE where the internet is just yahoo and thehampsterdance.com

And then when Texans go elsewhere, they realize all they did was punish themselves. The rest of the world moves on without them.

No, no. Blame them. It’s ok to realize that it’s not your fault. As children, we’re placed in the safe and lovkng hands of those that raise us.

And when those hands are not only unsafe, but also incompetent, it’s perfectly natural to feel cheated at life.knowing that YOU are not the problem. Society picking those people to raise you is the problem.

It’s the reason I don’t have kids. I don’t feel like I’d raise kids the right way. I don’t want to ruin my kids life.

I haven’t had breakfast in like 30 years. What is this, food to start the day??? I take a shower, get dressed, and then it’s off to work!

Still half asleep.

Why would you save a wasp???

I always saw it as rubbing their hands together like they’re thinking up an evil plan.

So Social is the domain, and Mastodon/Piefed are the instances in my example?

If that’s the case, why not make everything (instance).com?
