    Gnome: GSpot. It doesn’t actually exist (GNOME devs though there was no use case for it)

      It’s still the best social media for anything worthwhile. Hyperlocal news, sports, government agencies, corporate news, everyone posts there since nobody looks at Facebook anymore and Instagram is mainly for pics. All the good artists are on Twitter as well.

      Nobody is posting to Mastodon because actually finding information and people is proper impossible. I mean hell I almost never see any posts from Mastodon getting posted to any meme community because everyone is all tech and politics and doom and serious.

        I wonder if Twitter just hung onto market share in India while it hemorrhaged users in the anglosphere? IIRC we’ve seen this with Facebook in a few places. Basically everyone I want to follow moved to Bluesky or at least is posting their content there too - there’s a few local governments that are stuck in 2010 technologically due to indifference or lack of budget that still only post stuff to Twitter but that’s fairly unusual, but is infuriating enough for people to post about it.

      I’m a dev. I develop little prototypes and things with Rust. I often create a new repository and don’t give the project a name, until I’ve coded enough of it that I know where it’s going.

      A few years back, the makers of the programming language Rust started punishing people for prepending rust- before the names of their tools and apps. They recommended that people append -rs to the end.

      The combination of these two things caused me to end up with a whole bunch of repositories named something like cli-rs or clitool-rs, both of which I’d just pronounce as clitoris.
