I love seeing all the great content in the federated timeline. Some of it is clickbaity but the good thing is we have the tools to filter and control what we see and where we see it.

I recommended following the creators and magazines that interest you and put them in their own 'Flipboard' list.

One of the most underrated of Pixar films. I watched it for the first time and, tbh, I haven’t had so much fun with a Pixar film since Toy Story 3. Highly recommended!

@roldyclark Definitely. I always enjoy the age polls here. Most people are 40+.

We have been made aware of a phishing URL presenting itself as a sponsored Mullvad ad on Google.

Please be cautious when clicking on links, taking note of the URLs.

We have contacted Google regarding this, and had stopped our advertising on Google as of 1st March.

@DoctorDNS @mullvadnet IDK probably because they need customers to make money and survive.

Since this is coming up again due to Threads taking additional steps towards fully federating with the rest of the fediverse:

DMV.Community is not blocking/defederating Threads.net at this time. I have enabled authorized fetch on our instance so that each user can decide if they want to block Threads, and their posts will be inaccessible to that domain.

To block the Threads domain, go to any Threads user profile from your Mastodon account (like @mosseri), click the "..." menu, and click "Block domain threads.net".

If you're a member of DMV.Community and you have questions, let me know.

Last night when they checked my ID at the venue, it was brought to my attention that my license expired on my birthday. Totally forgot. It's a good thing I didn't plan on drinking anyway. Now I have to go to the DMV. 😭

@yaitorr it seems to be more of a "dump everything here and let us organize it for you" app rather than a journaling app.

TickTick is really good. I'm loving it. I wish there was an open source and/or self-hosted equivalent, but I can't find one.

If anyone knows of an all-in-one FOSS solution for notes, tasks, and reminders, let me know.

jcrabapple OP ,
@jcrabapple@dmv.community avatar

@yaitorr I tried a bunch and I've been looking for a while. TickTick is awesome. Any.do and Todoist are similar, but you get more for free with TickTick and they claim not to share data with third parties.

@yaitorr I've been using separate apps for a long time and I'm ready for an all-in-one solution.

I want to start a YouTube channel where I do reaction videos in which I make my wife listen to music she doesn't like and let her comment on it. The internet will hate her, but it'll be great for monetization.

It's well understood that to make the most of a place like this, without juiced up algorithms, you have to follow a lot of people. But I think another thing is that you have to keep following new people because there is a lot of churn. A lot of people have faded out but there are always cool new people to discover.
