I would happily bet money that federation keeps getting kicked down the road. "Oh, we have to do X first. Also Y just came up, and you know it was a waning moon last night so...." They have no reason to enable it as long as things go their way.

Email does not have issues finding emails. For a much better post than I can write, read TheChargedCreeper's comment above about the on-boarding experience they (and I) experienced.

Well said. This almost perfectly describes my experience with Mastodon as well. I ended up joining a Firefish instance later which was better, but no amount of "antennas" or topic follows helps when your instance has 20 users and it can't find anything.

I'd imagine a platform supposedly started by the people who founded Twitter, built from what supposedly was once an internal test of modifications to Twitter, to have an easier onboarding experience than whatever Mastodon did back when I tried it.

Bluesky works almost exactly like Twitter right now. It makes a vague mention of federation on signup but it's basically irrelevant and everything right now still goes through their central server, so there is no issue finding content or users.

Interesting, thanks for sharing!

It's likely not as bad as you think. :) It took a bit of adjusting for me realising I didn't have several endless AskReddit threads a day to scroll through, but for 99% of my usage it's great here. It's also nice being able to interact with posts while not being one of the first commenters. I get more interactions here than Reddit. The only things I go to Reddit for are specific subreddits like dashcam videos, but that's a once a month or perhaps less frequent affair.

Genuine curiosity, why would Canada Post get into banking? Do they have some administrative advantages that would help, or is there no better department?

I remember everyone saying the exact same in 2016. "Maybe Dems will reflect." Other than putting up a white man for 2020, I can't see a single difference in their approach ever since.

She literally said this though.

"I spoke with President-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory. I also told him that we will help him and his team with their transition and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power."

In the context of this chain, it should be noted most immigrants don't go through US grade schools.

Bless you for not making people use Tik Tok.

I'll have to give it another go! I was absolutely loving the feature in beta, however the experience was dampened by intermittent game crashes that stopped the moment I disabled this feature. Classic AMD driver issue, most likely.
