Five and a half years ago. People can change a hell of a lot in that amount of time. I know I did.

Yeah I get that, it's why I don't use FB anymore. I keep WhatsApp for close family though. They're is no other option. And dont tell me to use text. Doesn't cut it.

This. The average user doesn't want to know about the workings and 'All that technical stuff', and why should they?

They want to click an icon and have everything and everyone there. They shouldn’t have to swap instances or what have you.

I put Mastodon on a back burner as it's just too clunky (for me at least) and am currently interacting with people from all over on BlueSky. Half the time on Mastodon (various apps/instances, web, or browser) I couldn't even log on.

BlueSky will probably go the way of others. Yes, there is a troll problem, and you need to be wary. But I had the same to a lesser extent on Mastodon.

In the end, I've had to accept my relatives, work, and old Army colleagues will never be on there, I've become resigned to that and keep a WhatsApp account for that reason.

Right, so we just trade in our relatives for some new ones.

That's the attitude that puts people off.

Freeeeeeeedom!

some of which will hit earth

Hopefully in one particular spot.

Joking aside, if there is going to be a lots of debris hitting us, I wonder how much warning we'll get.

Also if it does hit the moon, what are the chances of mankind realising once and for all that we are on a small fragile rock zipping through space and we'd be better off taking care of it instead of petty bickering about what toilets people are using?

I won't hold my breath.

No doubt emboldened by trump, because he'll throw Taiwan under the bus at the first opportunity.

Horrible places run by horrible people.

I though this was an Onion article.

Holy crap! They'll be looking for chimney sweeps next.

Lloyd Bridges clip from Airplane springs to mind.

UK here we don't want him.

Don't think it was ever on TBH.

They just stopped to reload.

It suits Trumps's agenda that he can blame Biden for something. And so it continues. Musk wants to keep him onside to guarantee those subsidies and what have you for Space X, so he joins in. Knowing full well what the truth is.

So no ceasefire then?

Don't give them ideas.

"President Donald Trump said he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin wants peace" He could just leave Ukrainine then, couldn't he? He doesn't want peace, he wants the old Russian Empire (whatever that was) back.

Nothing wrong with being prepared.

It wouldn't accept my real name as apparently I had an account. I had to use a fake one. It was perfectly happy.

That was a couple of years ago though.

Should China or Russia fail to uphold their end of such a bargain

And they will, have no doubt about it.

Yes, he'll chop the US stockpile and let Putin carry on as usual. Because Putin suggested it to him as a way of saving money.

Trump will spout it as one of his bigly clever plans, because he has common sense and is such a brilliant business man. Lot of people tell him. Very clever people.
