Fediverse folks:
Using cutesy extended font tricks like ₜₕᵢₛ basically triggers a denial of service attack on folks who use screen readers.
Instead of saying "this" it says "Mathematical Sans-Serif Italic Small T Mathematical Sans-Serif Italic Small H Mathematical Sans-Serif Italic Small I Mathematical Sans-Serif Italic Small S"
Let's be cool the folks who have to use screen readers to participate in our community and don't do that.

Stop thinking of Twitter, TikTok, IG, (et al) as social media sites.
They are **Content Refineries.**
Like processed food manufacturers they take user content & extract the most addicting/engaging content. Brains eat it up but in an unhealthy “devour the whole bag of chips” way.
They make hyper-processed social media junk food.
Mastodon is more like a potluck. We're all bringing dishes. It's a mess. Kids are running all over. But we are, at least, real people sharing real things.
For the car fans. Huge collection of vintage cars about to come up for auction. 280 in all! https://www.classiccar-auctions.com/palmen
