Oh my ahura mazda, people like my joke and I have accidentally ten times as much followers as before, and stars enough to fabricate a moderately sized nebula.
Now how to tell them that I am boring and not funny? 🙃

some people think they *punish* me by banning me for disagreeing with them. 🤦♂️

The EU has joined the #fediverse by hosting Mastodon and PeerTube instances for EU institutions, offices, and agencies.
ActivityPub is a W3C standard that can redistribute power on the Web back to communities. Great to see public institutions leading.

Mastodon has Direct Messages (DMs), there are two ways to make them happen:
-Create a normal message, set its privacy to "Direct" and then @ mention whomever you want to receive the message. If you mention more than one person it becomes a group chat. This works on all apps and versions of Mastodon.
OR
-If you're logged in through the website, or if you're using a third party app, you can click on the "..." menu on a post or a person's profile and select Direct Message. This then automatically creates a direct message just like the one in the previous method. You can also look at your previous DMs by clicking on the envelope or the "Direct Message" link in the menu.
The official apps don't currently have any specific DM features, but you can use the first method in them and it works fine.
The end result of both methods is exactly the same.

My #xiaomi mi9 was in a bootloop and it looks like the power button was stuck, and also looks like this is a common problem. Ouch?

Just heard that in #russia most young people never have heard about #chernobyl, that's why they were oblivous when simply walking through and digging in the Red Forest.
If you wonder about what happened in #Hungary, and how the #election was "not #rigged" a short summary is at https://telex.hu/english/2022/04/02/no-major-act-of-election-fraud-just-a-bunch-of-dirty-little-tricks
