Mastodon has been usable, and simple, as well.
I signed up for my tildeverse account once they spun up an instance, and I followed people I saw posting. And now, I’ve collected a fair number of followers and people I follow to see what they say.
Works quite well.
So, what isn’t usable or simple?
Define “better”, first.
I’ve been using Mastodon for about 5 years now, and what I’ve seen of bsky, is that it’s not better: It’s centralized, owned by cryptobros, and subject to the exact same problems as twitter is for user safety.
I’m going out on a limb here, and guessing you have a high end video card that is causing probably 99% of your problems, likely an NVidia.
I’m using KDE on MXLinux on a old macbook, and I don’t have these graphical glitches you mention.
Ok, now I see you just wanna argue. Have a good time then.
For all the failures of the US, or other liberal democracies… Yes, they can vote fascism right into power, and we have, in the US, and in Germany in the 1930’s too.
However, let’s not pretend this is exclusive to liberal democracies… Lest we forget how quickly the oligarchs captured the socialist movement in Russia in the 1910’s. Not even two years post-revolution, the Soviets were also murdering the working class for high crimes such as “Doing a labor strike” or “Daring to use a system other than Leninism”…
Literally voting for your reps is not what the government of Russia is, though… So, yes, representative democracies are sub-optimal, but they are better than a straight up oligarchy, which means “People with money and power have all the say”.
Right, the fascist capitalists.
An oligarchy is not a democracy… Not even a “liberal western democracy”, aka “Constitutional Democratic Republic”…
Now, if you wanna get all pedantic and all, we certainly can.
You misspelled “oligarchy” there.
Musk literally told everyone he was bringing back all the fash assholes that were banned, and to do everything to amplify their voices.
Did nobody believe him when he literally told everyone it was the plan?
Thats a pretty low bar lol
These aren’t printer drivers, but drivers for a Meson coax NIC that hasn’t been in business for a decade type of thing.
Really popular old drivers stay for a loong time, like the floppy driver that just got removed last year.
Nobody needing a modern kernel is using a floppy drive.
If he announces his run, he won’t be able to go to jail.
We know that now, right?
