Does anybody know what web sites I could go to to find some sloppy hot takes about current events? Because Mastodon and the entire concept of the fediverse is magically impervious to those on principle, I'm going through a lot of withdrawal today. It's like a desert out here!
Considering the audience of this network, I suppose I need to explicitly point out that the preceding post was _sarcasm_, and that I'm seeing just as much of the content here as I would on literally any other platform.
That's the point. The point is that they're not different in reality, You can tell yourself they are, but you're wrong, and giant sudden news stories reveal that to everybody, so you should stop telling the general public that The Fediverse is a flowering, sunny, green utopia.
If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mastodon.social/users/n8/statuses/116149603403112276 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
