I don't see how anything has changed. I don't use threads, but this URL doesn't work:

And the post from the article just shows his account as plain text:

She got accosted by an abstract minimalist artist, happens to the best of us

Like that bit in Parks & Rec where people are scared of flouride in the drinking water, so they rebrand it as H₂Flow and everyone loves it.

There's truth to that quote of "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it"

This feels like something from !copypasta@sh.itjust.works

EDIT: And now it's over there 😄

Tig Notaro - No Moleste

Oh cool, new Tool album

The video looks like CGI or AI too. Something off about it.

Yep! Updates every Sunday

That looks good, thanks! I'm only seeing partial information in there, looks like it shows only the date for the first comic in each series, but that's probably enough for me to get started

EDIT: Tried using that, and discovered that the dates are made up. I can see in the Wayback Machine that the comics were posted online before the date listed in the RSS feed. I'll add the date going forward on new comics, but I'm still lacking a good way to add it to old comics

Seems like a lot of people want that too, so hopefully they'll add it soon

I bought everyone in my family a drink to get them to use Signal. Worked great and we're still on it.

Don't bother trying to sell people on privacy etc, for the most part. Show them Giphy integration, stickers, Stories, etc and show them that it's fun. Signal has done great work there, in making it "noob-friendly"

I tried poking around the HTML and didn't see any way to tell the original published date. If you see some way of determining that, I can definitely add that in

Thanks, I think you're posting that because the link is better for mbin? I tried to include the right format in the body, but I've edited it to use the format you're using. Went over to view the post from moist.catsweat.com (great name btw, works nicely in the Firefox tab bar

Might be worth flagging that to @dansup@mastodon.social. The FAQ page states unambiguously that Loops won't do that:

https://loops.video/help-center/frequently-asked-questions

Might just be ill-advised copy/paste of legalese. If he's asked about it and defends the TOS with that in it, then I'd start to worry

Here's my impression of Brazil as an American (I think it's a country?)

Good points, still getting the hang of what communities are into the loops content format. And yeah, just trying to spread awareness of Loops to people that like the format, since it'll help the Fediverse grow.

Not trying to treat anyone like a click farm, I get no benefit from any clicks. I thought the video was a good introduction to GOG for anyone that hadn't heard of it, but as another comment pointed out, it's pretty likely that everyone in this community has heard of GOG at this point, so it's probably more preaching to the choir.

"the priest in the box" makes it sound more like a sadistic experiment of Schrödinger's

The magic of the Fediverse is that even if some of the other comments are right and you're the problem, you can go and spin up your own instance with your own rules. Other instances might not federate with you, but that's the whole point. Everyone can federate with the other instances of their choice.
