  1. @Daojoan I’m not sure that’s entirely true for Mastodon so long as we’re talking about them being used judiciously.

    However, it’s true when it comes to hashtag bloat where things get tagged with #this, #that, #theother, #kitchensink, #DesperateAttemptToSeemRelevant, #WaaahIWantAttention and a dozen others.

    I seem to see more of this than I used to on here. I wonder whether the folks who do it have brought the habit over from other platforms?

  2. A quotation from The Bible

    All baptised in Christ, you have all clothed yourselves in Christ, and there are no more distinctions between Jew and Greek, slave and free, male and female, but all of you are one in Christ Jesus.
     
    [ὅσοι γὰρ εἰς Χριστὸν ἐβαπτίσθητε, Χριστὸν ἐνεδύσασθε. οὐκ ἔνι Ἰουδαῖος οὐδὲ Ἕλλην, οὐκ ἔνι δοῦλος οὐδὲ ἐλεύθερος, οὐκ ἔνι ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ· πάντες γὰρ ὑμεῖς εἷς ἐστε ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.]

    The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
    Galatians 3: 27–28 [JB (1966)]

  3. I believe a philosophy that can be called wide-ass. Everyone contributes their thoughts, and beliefs, and actions to the wide-ass philosophy.

    My personal philosophies are more wise-ass. But I don't think that navel-gazing from the inside, or head-up-the-ass philosophies will lead to useful enlightenment.

    I could be wrong... It wouldn't be the 1st time...
