Yep that was my experience too. Deafened by the silence. Firefish was like that too. Lemmy's nOt aS bIg aS rEdDiT but at least people reply to you here.
OK so it seems Diaspora* had great potential but sort of dribbled off into a void. Does anyone know of any similar platforms that are good? I'm trying to to find a few decent "social media" things that are better than Facebook, X, etc and it's incredibly hard to find anything worth signing up to.
Well I still don't understand, but now I know why I don't understand. I barely know how to turn a computer on or off, let alone anything technical haha. But I think I kinda get what you're saying. Thanks for explaining.
I bought some tiny sparkly metal stars to keep the pigeons out of my garden. They trample in the garden every day and damage plants. I know they don't mean to, but I'd like them to stop. I read that sparkly things will keep the pigeons away, because the sunlight hits the bits of metal and confuses/annoys the pigeons enough that they stay away. I'll try it tomorrow. If that doesn't work, I'll try spraying cayenne pepper around the garden (apparently that works too).
I imagined them more like the tiny foetuses of some kind of butterfly/moth-type creature.
Popplers actually look delicious.
