I received a solid amount of new followers due to my recent posts condemning porn. First of all, thanks, I appreciate it and I'm glad to see so many have their heads on straight! However, I can't seem to get the full list of followers, it won't let me expand it. If you followed me because of those posts and I haven't followed back, please let me know and I'll correct it ASAP. Let's keep the crusade going! 🫡

Looks like I'll be spending more time on Nostr, I'm fed up with the Fediverse. I had a post of mine removed for calmly and civilly refuting the bogus claim that the Fediverse's leftist population is somehow a diaspora caused by Christians causing "trauma" to certain groups. I was pretty okay with my instance admin, he always seemed to be pretty relaxed and only moderate when content was genuinely against the rules, but if I'm going to be censored for choosing to argue against such a BS claim (which just further proved correct my original post about the Fediverse being full of hateful, left-leaning phonies), I don't want any part of that. Frankly, I had been feeling that way for quite a while but that post removal was the last straw. I have my issues with a portion of Nostr's userbase as well, but at least here, I'm not surrounded by people ready to swarm me for not going along with the acceptable narrative on a platform (Mastodon) run by a guy who thinks less thought policing is a BAD thing. #Fediverse #Mastodon #censorship #decentralization #politics

People think "earthy, bitter, bold" when they think of black tea. The thing is, when you actually try a quality Dianhong black tea, that impression goes straight out the window. In my experience, Dianhongs tend to be chocolatey, smooth and roasty. #tea #teachain #blacktea

If you know me, you know I'm an AI skeptic, so this says a lot: I started trying Venice AI and I REALLY like it. Previously, I only used Brave's Leo and the search engine summarizer as occasional augmentative tools. I still use those for information purposes. However, Venice also offers image generation, and very solid image generation at that. While I don't ever plan to subscribe to any AI service -- ever -- I will say that I could see myself making use of Venice more often. A huge part of why I enjoy Venice is because of how it's more privacy-friendly and less censorship-heavy than big tech AI services. It feels like this is how the technology SHOULD have been implemented. #AI #Venice #VeniceAI #AIchain #ArtificialIntelligence

This tea has to be one of the most "perfumey" teas I've ever enjoyed. Not quite as creamy and milky as their superfine Ali Shan oolong but way more aromatic. Drinking this tea overwhelms the senses in such an awesome way!

I received a cake of this TeaVivre white tea for Christmas (thanks mom!) and man, it's great. First cake white tea I've ever tried and the flavor is really beautiful & balanced. The aging is probably a big part of that!

I've gotten sick of my feed being nothing but maxi posts so I decided to block Bitcoin (and related terms) in Amethyst, at least for the time being. I gave up on trying to get into Bitcoin (much to the chagrin of BTC maxis here) so I have no interest in further discussions about it at this point. As such, if it seems I'm ignoring mutuals, I'm not, just trying to clean up the feed a bit.
