Her Favorite Spot by Lisa S. Baker A shaggy dog lounges in a pink polka-dotted chair, wearing a playful flower crown and a look that says she’s exactly where she belongs. Equal parts pampered and proud, she brings a touch of personality and charm to this cozy interior moment.

I captured this photograph at the Albury Botanical Gardens. The Albury Botanic Gardens are a botanical garden located in the city of Albury, New South Wales, Australia. The garden was established in 1877 and forms an example of the mainstream ideas about gardening in the 19th and 20th centuries. Wikipedia This image shows a lush garden filled with flowering plants and accompanied by a classic lamppost. Sunlight filters through the trees, illuminating the scene beautifully.

@Nonilex they say he went to Wharton, not sure he knows tariffs are a two way street.

Canada is lowering tariffs on Chinese EVs, that should keep #GM and #ford up at night. Countries need to go after US tech now #fediverse #EmpireInDecline

@Nonilex this is a big fucking deal. Now do tech #fediverse #enshitification

In 2025, Americans "detoxed" from social media. In 2026, they’re quitting altogether.

this may be the first thing i've ever posted where i got significantly more engagement on the #fediverse than on the hellsite. feels like the hellsite might be throttling discussion of the #EpsteinFiles somewhat.

The #US has "Truth Social" (build on Mastodon code) kinda as it's "official social media"

And #Europe has it's own #Mastodon instance in the #Fediverse

I know what I'd prefer!

As an admin of (some) instances, I would really love an (iOS) app for moderation🤔

There are a lot of apps currently for the frontend but not so much backend

Sadly enough in many of not most "Habbo Retro" servers the focus is still on "being rich" or having the most money etc

NOT on ours! I removed the money related scores and focus more on the social aspect

Everyone starts out with 100000 of every resource and gets 5K extra each X minutes so no need to spend real cash!

If anyone wants a #Fediverse badge, do login now so i can mass badge 😁

I have a short news reel about this on my loops.

Answer? You're correct, people are becoming lurkers.

I can't be sure of it, but I think my #fediverse feed has been much more positive lately, making ME feel far more positive.

A good set of #Filters really will make fedi into #TheGoodPlace :D
