      From: bluemanedhawk@invalid.invalid              The day also straight-up doesn't work anymore because, under a lot of       social media platforms, the term ‘friend’ has different semantics than       it does in reälity—perhaps the most common case is when a platform       prohibits the unsolicited incitement of direct conversation with another       who is not listed as a friend, turning the “friends list” into more of a       “people i'm willing to get letters from list”.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
