Odd how ' using an email address to log into a web site ' is some... Voodoo to the nay sayers, init?

Same process to log in.

@infosec_jcp @capetaun > Same process to log in.

ah no, i heard that the trend is now logging in via qr code or with a series of numbers sent to your email/sms. i wonder if instagram is catching up on that yet

@capetaun letteralmente io a lavoro qualche settimana fa ad una collega (creativa e millennial).
Dopo il monologone esplicativo riesco a concepire l'unica frase che può risolvere TUTTO:

"Si é tipo Twitter ma senza pubblicità e algoritmo."

@capetaun me every time I try to tell someone to contact me on IRC

CapeTaun

I'll try to explain to my mom that now I'm Mastodon famous

Json Doh

@capetaun That's the best way to bring moms to a network. They love to brag to each other about their kids.

@capetaun this reminds me of when I just put "151.820 megacycles" in my email signature

@capetaun Is the intricate ritual trying to get pgp working?

Click link to Mastodon: FULL CONTENT
Click link to Instagram: LOGIN OR SIGN UP

Mastodon viewable in web browser, every post, replies, profile, profiles of people who liked, boosted, etc
Wanna see content on Instagram? NOPE. Log in or sign up.

@capetaun but if you succeed in summoning me, it's SO WORTH IT.

@capetaun Reminds me of how I'm basically a cave man without facebook/insta/x/this/that/the other....

@hastur @capetaun How do you get a flashing text cursor in your user name?

@capetaun @shizamura Same. Just yesterday I was attending a session for a Rural Innovation Leadership Entrepeneurship Whatsamacallit Programme (you know, those european funded things) and they wanted me to join their whatsapp group and follow the timeline of the programme on Instagram. Everyone looked puzzled (especially the organizers) when I asked "what about those of us who do not have accounts on those companies?". And mind you, these people are supposed to be training "innovators", and "leaders" who "think outside the box". They really believe that these are "universal" services that "everyone" naturally and spontaneously uses, no questions asked.
So much for innovation.
That really got my goat, I'm still ranting about it...

I don't have instagram either but I would very much like to have such a garden. With the forest behind please.

@capetaun i am in this meme and i like it

Sinjoro R

@capetaun I'd like to say it someday, I have an account on instagram, not because I like it, but because my wife likes to mark me on photos, although currently she has been reducing this habit

CapeTaun

@sinjoror I still have it because a lot of events and people only communicates through it and all of the front-ends I used are down. It's sad how it is taken for granted that everyone uses it daily and mainly

@capetaun I'm sending the Instagram users to pixelfed. It's a more understandable environment for them. For me, it's one fediverse world.

@capetaun

I'm actually enjoying having a space where it's mostly only smart people again tho

TheFrenchGhosty

@darwinwoodka @capetaun This! Let's keep normies out of here

The people who came from twitter already did enough damage

IAintShootinMis

@capetaun for the record i use all these things. Its me in the meme.

Tram 日本 🐈‍ :aichi:

@capetaun and this is the only reason I’d accept Instagram federation. Just for easy discoverability on pixelfed for example

@capetaun i read „no I don‘t have…“
my brain continues „…a gun, no I dont‘t have a gun“ 🤷‍♂️

@capetaun@livellosegreto.it Me everytime I try to explain that there's countless other alternatives to mastodon

Beldarak

@capetaun

I'll never understand why Mastodon has that reputation (which sadly hurts it a lot when it's simply the better alternative to Twitter. Bluesky just added gifs, LOL and Threads wasn't even available in Europe for the longest time).

Maybe I've got bad memory or something but it was just like creating an account for any other website for me, except you have to chose your instance, which was a non-issue. Just pick social or your main interest.

Jigme Datse

@capetaun I see it as not really much different than the people saying, "hey contact me on this..." platform. Mastodon just isn't as well known by the people who insist on Signal, Instagram, Telegram, who knows what else... TikTok. I know who *most* of those people turned out to be (if I found out almost exclusively, though they often just disappear).
