Follow the money hashtags! Seriously, if you can’t immediately find people to follow (a very common problem when people first join a social network), follow hashtags! Super easy to do:

• Search for your topic
• In the search results, switch to the “Hashtags” tab (or just scroll down to the hashtag section of the results)
• click into one of the hashtag search results
• Review the posts, frequency, etc. If you like what you see, click “Follow Hashtag”.

It really does a great job of (1) populating your feed with interesting, relevant content and (2) can ultimately connect you to new people with similar interests.

Thanks for providing that link. I knew about OSM, but didn’t fully grasp that (duh) it’s open which means I can help with the data. Time to get busy! :)

Based on what I’ve seen over the last few years, it’s the over-16s that should probably be banned from social media.

Not surprising really. Look back at the history of war and see how many occasions there was a friendly fire incident under the best of circumstances. Russia has already had numerous, often high-profile FF incidents in this war alone. Add in a completely foreign group of fighters speaking a different language, etc, etc… Pretty much inevitable.

The first title that jumps to my mind, especially when you contextualize it around “restoring faith”, is Satisfactory. It’s been a very entertaining and challenging game, but also the development team has been exactly what one (typically) wants from a dev team. They’ve been very transparent about issues, their process, etc. Their interactions with the fan-base have been frequent and open throughout the years of development. Good game + good company. Worth consideration if you like a good factory builder.

Heh, this is exactly what I went through today. I’m a paid Proton user, but ignored Proton Pass when it came out because I was already well-entrenched with BitWarden. Decided today to give it a real look. Generally pretty pleased with what I’m seeing, though I’m not entirely committed to shifting platforms.

This is FIFA we’re talking about. This is an organization that has been called “cartoonishly evil”. If all they did was ignore a human rights report, it would be a major step up for them.
