Hello there!
I boost a lot of posts, but I have a few things to say every now and then.
I am largely fine with boosting posts from people I disagree with even on significant, dividing issues. I usually don't, however, if they actively advocate for these ideas... so it goes :/

@CM30 I always hate clickbait... do a good job with content creation and you shouldn't need it anyway.
Or if clickbait becomes your only way you can think of to get attention, try another job!
(By clickbait I don't mean attractive thumbnails etc. I mean when they are dishonest and misleading.)
@briankrebs I don't believe in LGBT gender ideology at all but I respect the use of "they". I think its new usage is a welcome addition to English. Saying "he or she" is rather cumbersome, and when dealing with blurry online identities like the ones you deal with, they could be singular or plural.

When I talk about the importance of going all in on the Fediverse, I speak based on experience.
At Opera we built a massive user community. When I quit, we had something like 35 million registered users and 35 million monthly visitors.
The new Opera management did not see the value of that. They believed it was cheaper and better to just use Facebook and that investing in your own community was a waste of money. So they closed down MyOpera and built a following on Facebook and Twitter instead. Then they got caught by the bait and switch when Facebook changed and you would no longer reach your audience, without paying. Later on Twitter changed as well.
This is important to explain to companies and institutions as they go shopping for social media sites to invest in. The best investment is clearly in your own site, being part of the Fediverse. It is not even all that expensive to do. It may take longer to build, but at least it is your own.
Not saying you cannot build a following on those other sites, but your long term strategy should be the Fediverse with your own server.
We try to lead the way here and thus we build Vivaldi Social. Not just for our selves, but to make a point and support the Fediverse.
@L0G1S @briankrebs I feel you. Windows is always getting in the way of people who know what they're doing. (And to a lesser degree, people who don't)
@agx Wow I didn't know that, is that a recent change?
@briankrebs Isn't this what Brave is trying to do? Where you pay a central service, who then pays for you to not see ads; letting you avoid seeing ads while still keeping free information on the Web profitable. (Is that what they were doing?)
Getting into digital logic design a bit as a hobby (for a big personal project). I read an awesome book a while ago called "But How Do It Know?".
Still learning, but is it just me or are multiplexers the answer to all my problems? 😆

@mike Maybe he needs something loud enough for him to experiment with singing 🤷

@wherebreadisfound Thank you for the read!
Maybe you could do one on Matthew 15:1-9, as well.
I just began to get an idea... but someone already took https://johnmastodon.org/ 😩
@royal @CharismaticBatman I don't know what MacDonald would be trying to say if he meant the place Hell when he said "HELL" in that quote. Since the unsaved "go away into eternal punishment" (Matthew 25:46) I doubt it is to "burn the evil out of you".
@royal @CharismaticBatman To most of that: word. Not to be argumentative, but this is a big deal theologically; where do you go if you die rejecting Jesus? Matthew 25:41 says that you go "into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels". (Matthew 25:31-46 is a great passage by the way — a dark topic, but a critical one.)
@CharismaticBatman @royal Well to be clear it is the teaching of Christianity that those who reject Jesus go to the place Hell (or maybe technically the "Lake of Fire" I guess, I don't know the exact theology), and a place of no exit.
That's what's throwing me off with this MacDonald quote here.
I wonder what the context was.
@royal Interesting, I'm only seeing this reply, my question, and your original post....
