Sorry for a #spotify link, but I've went through three albums of #CrimsonGlory, and that's the playlist of good speed / heavy metal. It's kinda like #JudasPriest, but their lyrics aren't cringe.

Is mstdn.social just bots? Do I know someone from there?

Gladly, not all American heavy metal bands from 80s were brainwashed by commie tomfoolery. First two albums of #CrimsonGlory are dece plus.

My dream is to find someone as dedicated as @markosaric for my consultancies and for my product venture...
:C

> Back in late 2017, Tate said that Donald Trump will probably go down as "the worst president" in U.S. history.

I wonder if they understand that their narrative of internal conspiracy within States since 1988 has something to do with trump getting elected. 🤣

But good to know! Hanlon's razor I guess...

#QT haters, suck an egg. Or something.

Holy shit, have you seen #Queensrÿche band? I think they're americans (too disgusting to dig deeper), but their "iconic" album "Operation: Mindcrime" from 1988 is literally the precursor to antivaxers, pro-russian loyalists, etc.

Disturbingly, the band still exists and is active.

Betting lunch money that they were funded from the same treasury that funded #GorkyPark.

@tuzgai @inthehands joining mastodon.social and moving an account to another server is the best onboarding strategy. If you defed mastodon.social instead of having moderation, it's YOU who are locking in your users, not normal people who just want to join mastodon (no pun intended).

There should be an instance for commies and ruskies called LAGGUNA.

After a year of utopic struggle for the ideals of revolution and non-involvement respectively, it will turn out that it was an anagram to "NA GULAG" this whole time.

@inthehands @fishidwardrobe oh my, this is real. Gladly, the path to mastodon seems to be through mastodon.social. Gladly, mastodon is not peertube, so instance largely doesn't matter as long as it's moderated. But yeah, filling in a dating profile to register is shit ux.

@inthehands I followed the onboarding path of a person who doesn't use computers much: typed in "mastodon" in google, clicked 1st link, clicked sign up, entered info, checked my mail, activated my account, then in the web interface there was a big blue button "write" or something, I saw it immediately, clicked it and tooted. What are the anecdotal onboarding issues you mention? I'd be happy to help with them because this is the lowest hanging fruit in my book.

@inthehands no references though. Also, I made a mastodon account on mastodon social while brushing my teeth. The only bit where the UX is hot garbage is when someone finds a toot outside their server and wants to interact with it. But by then retention happened, I think. Anyway, as @kissane said, we need to run iterations, experiments, collect reports from users. Otherwise it's just throwing opinions at each other, which is unhelpful.

@flor stay cool and drink a lot of water!

@greghiggins457 uh oh. I'm kinda happy, ngl
