You can bridge the two now.

What is the incentive for people to host an instance at the moment?

I liked the community that had built up and wanted to help that continue.

Because people will choose convenience over their vey own survival.

See Cory Doctorow’s Bluesky and enshittification.

I just use Threadiverse and Threads can go piss up a rope.

Now there’s an argument to be had. I ave tried Mastodon and Firefish and found the latter to be far superior, feature-wise. I think Iceshrimp will be the *key fork that will finally the big breakout hit, especially with the Iceshrimp.net rewrite.

The best thing for on-boarding are topic-specific instances, it makes picking one much easier.

Mastodon isn’t even the best micro-blogging service on the Fediverse.

What would be the incentive for people to do that?

With no safeguards the users won’t know it’s a trap until it’s sprung.

Well that’s one good film to look forward to. Thanks for the feedback.

Noe that’s one Hell of a headline!

Anyone seen the first film?

And one became the Death Star.

Without R2 ANH would have gone very differently.

Sounds like Waititi has accepted so many offers that quite a few are on the back burner, including Flash Gordon.

Those are fancy terms, “speculative sci-fi documentary” and “speculative nonfiction”, for what is clearly fiction.

Still it sounds intriguing, although a bit bleak.

Update: Since publication, the score is down to a 77%, just under Gladiator now, though still Ridley Scott’s highest scoring movie since The Last Duel.

Still solid for what is an unnecessary sequel that could easily have fallen on it’s face (naming no names but Scott has form for that).

So not as bad as Megalopolis.

Oh and South Park season 12, episode 3: Major Boobage.

IMDb now has an “adult animation” tag that is worth looking into.

I’d suggest:

• Fritz the Cat (1972)
• Fantastic Planet (1973)
• Heavy Traffic (1973)
• Wizards (1977)
• Son of the White Mare (1981)
• Time Masters (1982)
• Fire and Ice (1983)
• Rock & Rule (1983)
• Starchaser: The Legend of Orin (1985)
• Gandahar (1987)
• The Haunted World of El Superbeasto (2009)
• The Spine of Night (2021)

Series:

• Spicy City (1977)
• Æon Flux (1991)
• The Maxx (1995)
• Love, Death & Robots (2019) - an anthology series so a collection of shorts
• Primal (2019)
• Too many on Adult Swim to make a complete list of but Metalpocalypse and Mr Pickles stand out in this context
