Great! Spread the news, once there are hundreds, it'll be pretty useful.

I haven't yet but it's another great feature. I wish I had a field like this in my brain for people in real life. ("Recently divorced, don't mention Candice")

Although, wine would not be drunk in a glass like that, so I should have known.

That irony had not occurred to me until two of you mentioned it!

No, and we (the VUC) had nothing to do with putting there. It just got sucked up in the podcatchers.

Thanks for listening!

Let us know how you liked it. There's some room for experimentation.

Actually, I come from a time when anything related to sex needed that warning (for kids, too). For years, I think the kids thing is superfluous, since they learn all about sex much younger. As for work, like I said, depends on who can see your screen. As a conversation starter, "I sneeze every time I come" might work well in some situations.

I know, right? She's capable of making fur of herself. So far, I think this season is looking good.

Depends on where you work and who's next to you.

It's just an odd thing and it can start any time in life. It can be one sneeze or a few. Ideation is one thing, but after orgasm, with a new partner, awkward!

I never used it with SMS (hence 140 characters initially), but I wonder if that actually helped get Twitter into the vibrating pockets of a lot of young people keen on their phones. I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere?

Adding to no one in particular... as I've been following several potential destinations for the Twitter mass migration, they all have one thing in common: 99% of posts are in English. Twitter's age and market penetration let it reach a large worldwide audience. As Mastodon has been around for 6 or more years, it too has some international diversity, but less that Twitter I think. (Someone chime in on the language of the population if you have info?

It's not so much that people didn't use search engines; more like they typed site URLs into Google search! 🤣

Right! You have to look at context. Remember the first time you got on (Usenet/Compuserve/AOL/Friendster) or whatever your first Internet experience was? Twitter was a new thing. Now there are 20 Twitter look-alikes but none can go back to the novelty.

🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for that. I'm brand new on Lemmy so I'm just learning how to reply, upvote, etc. Although I've had a Reddit account for years, I never go there unless I'm looking for a technical solution of some kind. Better than searching and getting ten useless YouTube videos as results 😄

Replying to your (my, actually) test comment

By the way...

Depends on who's "we"? A lot of people are seriously stressed about not finding their friends and following their stars. I find that pathetic, but it's true and can be seen on every Twitter alternative, like Post News, Spoutible and whatever else is out there. Those are look-alikes, but Mastodon is "confusing" because it looks different.

Alternative, certainly, that's what they aimed for. But nothing can replace Twitter (I do not care about it, by the way) but living through Twitter from year one until about ten years ago was like living in the sixties. It was a whole thing, a vibe, an atmosphere that can't be replaced. There will be some new paradigm that will take over. I don't say it will be VR or AR, or even AI-related, but it will be something different. On the other hand, AI will surely have an effect on what comes next.
