I'm still VERY MUCH a Mastodon first social media kinda guy, but since I'm "here" a bit more often, and mostly for #KDrama #CDrama #JDrama stuff, here's my current list, having recently (Jan 2025) completed my 500th East Asian Drama.

@eurosky.social a question about the rate limit: I just made my very first post as a eurosky.social user and got "rate limit exceeded". I wondered if it was the GIF I was trying to use, so deleted it and was able to make the post no problem. Does this mean any GIF will always exceed the rate limit?

Being a flight attendant is a tough job and now, when some of them selflessly perform a heroic community service, they get labelled as villains? I feel so sorry for them

Who's the most famous alum of your high school?
Aussies might know one of these, the other one might be more widely known to popera fans (I had no idea who he was)

This song is in Panjabi, so I have only a very hazy grasp of the lyrics. Which is WAY more than my grasp of the video! I'm sharing it because though I find the video pretentiously 'arty', I like the song & it reminds me "I'm thinking of giving sufism a whirl" 🤣

I just watched a YT vid of a young Chinese woman scoring a 145 break in a competitive snooker match - it soothed a niggle I had about #cDrama #AmidstaSnowstormOfLove by confirming that yes, they DO use English to announce the scores. The Drama did NOT show any player playing ambidextrously but😱👏

Some historians posit that similarities between languages with Twitteric, Tumbleric, and Redditish origins and vague references in the literature imply the existence of a now-extinct proto-Internet language developed in a location or locations called “forums”

Like many of you, we dumped Twitter when it became a fascist hellscape.
We started a Substack as an alternative, and then *that* became a fascist hellscape so we stopped using it.
Then this weekend The Guardian reminded us to actually do something

Some I follow on Masto mutes/blocks all references to Substack and the more I learn about their avid profiteering from right-wing extremists, the more understandable I find that decision

Compiling a list of banned words doesn't suggest any love for words. It suggests you love banning things.
