By way of a brief introduction, I'm Sam Roberts, author of Ghost Signs: A London Story (pictured, and at https://ghostsigns.co.uk/book), leader of the Ghostsigns Walking Tours (https://ghostsigns.co.uk/tours), and all-round ghost sign and sign painting obsessive.
I'm planning to use @pixelfed to periodically share photos of ghost signs, which may be my own, or may have been shared by others.
Lol yeah, now when you search google for stuff like that the experience is:
You find a website with a link to an owner’s enthusiast discord for your car’s model.
But then once you join you have access to one channel called #rules
Then you figure out you have to react to that one message in that channel with a tire burning out emoji and you get access to another channel called #introductions where you have to describe yourself and your car.
Then if a mod thinks it’s genuine, they’ll let you in to the other channels.
You finally get in and search for your issue. Your issue is really specific, but you don’t know the technical terms to search for, so your keyword of “brake squeaking” pulls up all a massive unorganized list of results purely sorted by post date of anything including those keywords, no way to sort by relevancy or popularity, so you scroll, and you scroll.
You find one message that is close, but you need more info. But before you can post in the #help channel you have to make 3 posts in #general (to fight spam of course).
Finally, after succeeding in the requirements, you copy a link to the message you found in search and post in #help.
A mod tells you to use the search, that question has been answered. You explain that you already did but you’re not sure exactly what to search for. You are now banned
Discord’s walled garden and conversational approach is awful for gestalt knowledge storage and access.
Hi! I'm doing social media here now. I'm really into experimental music with synths and guitar. I love improvising, and I'm a pretty seasoned software generalist (https://chirag.io). I'm trying to figure out what I want to work on next, but without having to worship a corporation. #introductions Also I'm #trans and #freepalestine.

Vanaf vandaag gaat de Inspectie Justitie en Veiligheid aan de slag met Mastodon.
We houden toezicht op uitvoeringsorganisaties binnen het domein van justitie en veiligheid, zoals de politie, (jeugd)gevangenissen en forensische klinieken. Maar ook veiligheidsregio’s of de opvang van asielzoekers.
Daarnaast richten we ons ook op commerciële partijen. Zo houden we toezicht in het kader van het Wietexperiment en vanaf maart 2024 op de Wet kwaliteit incassodienstverlening.
#introductions. I guess I'm a wannabe twitter quitter trying to discover a better world. A retired academic - Lecturer in Cornish Studies and History - now self-publishing with a main website providing various resources on Cornwall, past and present. I also run two lesser-used websites focusing on environmental activism and minority and Cornish electoral politics. Ha thoma clappier an tavaz Curnoack aweeth.
Greetings! I’ve been on Mastodon for quite a while but I’ve just moved instances. I’m a psychotherapist (this is a personal acct.), a gramma, a gardener of #Perennials, and steward of about 5 acres of old #NewEngland farmland with my wife of 22 years💗 I post my own photos and enjoy connecting with others who are #KindSouls. Photo of my two fur babies (Finn and Lily).

hi catboy.agency (and the intros tag), i'm nepeta and i'm a catgender genderfluid girlthing, i'm also a polyam bi lesbian :33. if ur an oomfie u can call me nep fur short~ i'm very neurodivergent, i have DID, PTSD, autism and ADHD among others! because of that though, sometimes i might have time with reading tone, so apawlogies fur that. i'm a streamer also and have a big special interest in the smash bros. games which i commonly stream also :33 additionally, i'm a therian/otherkin (cat!) and a fictionkin (several chars i should prob make a lil list of somewhere but u can probably guess at least one of them, maybe two)
anyways im catgirl meow!!!! sorry this is so long and all over the place, i'm bad at these :neocat_blush_hide:
In naive earlier times I thought clear data would compel policy solutions.
In slightly later naive times I thought that once the popular media cracked each story, that things would change.
In embarrassingly recent times I thought politicians might see the political and practical advantages of acting in accordance with reality.
But only groups like militaries and actuaries, whose near term survival depends on getting the analysis right, and whose analysis is dissociated from peer pressure, are COVID-conscious in action.
So here we are, knowing #COVIDisAirborne, #CovidIsNotOver, #LongCOVID has a higher #MassDisabling burden than Polio had, and left struggling, yet again, to understand how in light of these truths we might steer society to a less harmful path.
I don't know what to do, but I know that logical conclusions require a basis in fact, and I'm here to try to contribute to the collective effort of figuring it out.
