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 :/

@survey I like it when advanced software intentionally differentiates between advanced users and inadvanced users; E.g. having the basic settings in the settings window but then having a section labeled "Additional settings" or "Advanced settings".
I also think it's a good idea to make dangerous settings only available in e.g. config files; that way, hopefully a lot of the users who shouldn't touch them are excluded if they don't put in a bit of effort.
This boarding school banned smartphones. The results were promising!

There's no such thing as too many screens:
Hello from the command line! I'm posting this from a terminal :)

There's a new groups system for the Fediverse called chirp.social. More info at:
You can join a group by following the group account. You can post to the group by @-ing the group account, which then reposts that to all its other followers
It is similar to the existing https://a.gup.pe system, but chirp.social allows a group manager to delete posts and ban people from the group.
It works on all Fediverse platforms including Mastodon.
What if we call the cram/study time right before a test Cruddy Time

Mastodon and the Fediverse are at their best when you are following lots of people, not only because you see their posts, but because you also see the posts they share. Seeing lots of shares makes it much easier to discover stuff.
➡️ For tips on finding people to follow click here: https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-basic-tips/#HowDoIFindPeopleToFollow
Following people is how discovery works on here. There's no computer algorithm pushing stuff to you, instead there are millions of human beings manually sharing stuff they find interesting.

This strip came out in 1995. I’m afraid of what Calvin’s dad would have to say about technology in 2022. 😬🫠 #CalvinandHobbes

Ever heard this #riddle?
You are a prisoner in a room with 2 doors and 2 guards. One of the doors will lead you to freedom and the other to a hangman – you don't know which is which.
One of the guards always tells the truth and the other always lies. You don't know which does which, although the guards do.
You have to choose and go through one of these doors, but you can only ask one question to one of the guards.
What do you ask to find the door leading to freedom?
