Low Quality Facts

People on Mastodon: I don't get why more people don't join the platform. We are very relatable.

Top post on Mastodon: If you spend 72 hours reprogramming the 1982 Commodore 64 computer using a long-forgotten latin coding language, you can make it display a pop-up window that you would typically only see on the original 1984 Apple Macintosh. Go ahead and try it for yourself.

@krupo @lowqualityfacts I know right? This is important information that the average person should know

Anthropy :verified_dragon:

@lowqualityfacts haha mood, though at least on my instance it seems like it's pretty balanced, cats still seem the most popular thing by far :apartyblobcat:

@lowqualityfacts
Hey! We are not all like that.
BTW, do you know you can run your own instance with GoToSocial, it's very lightweight and you can set it up easily by command line on a VPS, just remember to close all unnecessary ports so you don't get hacked, also some updates break the database so make constant backups and obviously have fun!

mirabilos

@Andres @lowqualityfacts huh, what updates broke the DB? WFM for over a yearโ€ฆ

@lowqualityfacts and you donโ€™t even get the correct image after you follow the instructions, itโ€™s just pixel art of a furry convention

@lowqualityfacts

This is what brought me here back in '17. The place was full of wierdos with all kinds of interests--some completely bonkers--that they'd enthusiastically post about.

I don't want Mastodon to be the new Twitter. I want people from Twitter to come here and discover that joy.

Using a floppy drive is cheating. Saving hand written code to a cassette tape and then loading it back is proper.

I used to be with โ€˜itโ€™, but then they changed what โ€˜itโ€™ was. Now what Iโ€™m with isnโ€™t โ€˜itโ€™ anymore and whatโ€™s โ€˜itโ€™ seems weird and scary.

@lowqualityfacts Hey! My Commodore 64 is from 1986, not 1982โ€ฆ ๐Ÿค“

@lowqualityfacts nice can you share the link to the source code ? :blobcatsunglasses:

@lowqualityfacts To be honest, this platform seems more appropiate for scientific communication rather than shitposting. I COULD do the first, I feel like I'm misusing Mastodon by being a ferocious shitposter.

The Ivester

@alsaid @lowqualityfacts Nah man, shitposters are EXACTLY what makes mastodon great. It's the whole kinda "Internet in times gone by" kinda thing. I kinda dig.

ferocious shitposter

- domesticated
- communal
- ferocious <-- you are here
- radiacal
- feral
- wild
- isolated

Jason Baker

@lowqualityfacts Where's the contradiction? I wish more people were here posting that kind of content.

Pablo Masegoso

@lowqualityfacts but no algorithm, nor companyโ€™s self interest, nor obscure advertisement policies.

Come and post your shit and let others to freely make it even more relevant

1 tripod in 3 trenchcoats

@lowqualityfacts eh, depends on the server

Mastodon failed to capitalize on the benefits of interconnected but specialized smaller communities

Well, "failed" is maybe the wrong choice of words. I am rather happy with how it turned out

The Ivester

@lowqualityfacts Man this is EXACTLY the kind of quality content I crave. Just bros being geeks lmao, kinda adorable honestly

Botolo

@lowqualityfacts I still donโ€™t get why more people donโ€™t join the platform. I found your post very interesting. ๐Ÿง :ablobcatgooglymlemjumping:

Daffy Duck : Stampede of wild elephants!

Daffy Duck : 3:57 p.m.!

Daffy Duck : Fourth of July!
[Sticks head out door pelted with hailstones]
Daffy Duck : Hail storm! Oh, no!
Porky Pig : Oh, yes. A b-b-black eye. Pay me.
Daffy Duck : Oh, no. It distinctly says "a stampede of wild elephants and one baby zebra."
[to audience]
Daffy Duck : I just added that one.
[Suddenly baby zebra runs in, trampling Daffy]
Daffy Duck : And one baby zebra.

@lowqualityfacts we're as far removed from each other as we are from humanity

DELETED

@UncivilServant @lowqualityfacts Sadly I do not own a Commodore 64 or an original Macintosh ๐Ÿ˜ญ.

Iโ€™m not sure if I would even have the skills to do what was described either lol

@lowqualityfacts the answer probably involves the vast majority of potential users requiring seamless simplicity.

Like: pick up a remote control for a TV that you never used before, it's likely that you'll have some control over the TV by simply clicking something. You'll soon figure out how to change channel despite clumsiness.

Ultimately: a single click from one channel to another, to another, to another, and raise and lower the volume, and mute, and so on โ€” without having to think about anything REMOTELY like federation between BBC1 and BBC2.

@lowqualityfacts Ok I did a quick test. It's not so bad at all even though the official Mastodon app on Android works and looks surprisingly good ๐Ÿ˜Š

@lowqualityfacts Your Mastodon and my Mastodon are not identical. We find our people.

@lowqualityfacts I love being one of the Ludditeโ€™s over here! IG often makes me feel like the only person that finished college. Appreciate the various folks that give step by step instructions for increasing the usefulness of my feed and app. ๐Ÿฅฐ

@lowqualityfacts there's nothing low quality about this. This is real.

rogercan

@lowqualityfacts because i got banned for criticizing pro-palestinians.
who ever mods this instance needs to be less biased.

TotusUbertas

@lowqualityfacts are you claiming that facts of low value are keeping people away?

Henning Paul DC4HP

@lowqualityfacts Maybe it's also got something to do with some folks calling people worse than Hitler for not adding image descriptions or content warnings. Maybe.

@lowqualityfacts still beats the piss out of having to see so MUCH right wing propaganda on that dumpster fire twitter.
