just tapped out on consciousness. i need to decay with the cyberian cryptids in the digital zoo, to dissociate from the liminal scream that is knowing too much 
As everyone knows, the best Halloween content publishes two days after the holiday.

“Why is this publishing late?” Why do you ask such challenging temporal questions when you could be enjoying some fresh cryptid content? HE RECORDED A SONG FOR THIS.
Next year, Halloween is taking place on November 2nd, and this is the post that started the new tradition.
I suspect I will always think it was a mistake to allow author styling of `<select>` elements and sub-elements, and yes, most other form inputs as well.
I acknowledge the reasons for supporting it are valid and real, and also that I’m likely just being an old sourpuss. I nevertheless continue to believe user interaction elements should be consistent with the host operating system, so that users subconsciously know what a thing is when they see or otherwise interact with it.
Ah well.

Has anyone here used or maintained Flohmarkt?
What was you experience like? Did you use the built-in messaging? Did you feel that it respected your data privacy enough?
If you maintained one, did you have any major issues or concerns?
I’d love to have an alternative to fb marketplace but nothing seems to be as user-friendly to get people using it. I would love to eventually start a server if it is doable for a semi-capable person.

I’d do this if he wasn’t one of my favorite creators doing a lot of good for the Fediverse by publishing his content there.
As an admin on Fedi, I used to welcome new users, fight Nazis, and suspend trolls.
Now all I do is fight against the endless army of soulless scam machines, forever marching against our server walls in an attempt to destroy the community we've built here. It's exhausting and disheartening. At least the Nazis and Trolls were real people who would get pissed and fuck off eventually, but the LLMs will run as long as someone pays the electric bill for them.

Get AI agents the fuck off Fedi!
They're an existential threat to small instances, and they're a primary contributor to moderator burnout.
I'm getting irritated at the amount of AI shit that's still showing up on Bandcamp.
I don't want to listen to a summary of a fucking genre, I want to hear the people who bled into the recordings and feel their pain.

I could completely reverse your argument, insulting on why you should do differently.
It’s completely subjective.

PS: “insulting” was a phone typo, sorry! 🙏 makes no sense 😊 I meant “insisting” or “arguing”.
