How would this even work? People would have to pay a monthly membership for weather radios and weather/radar apps? These people are so greedy and gross.
"Deadly weekend flooding in central Texas has drawn a spotlight to budget cuts and staff reductions at the National Weather Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, two agencies housed within the Commerce Department that provide the public with free climate and weather data that can be crucial during natural disasters. What’s drawn less attention is how the downsizing appears to be part of an effort to privatize the work of such agencies. In several instances, the companies poised to step into the void have deep ties to people tapped by Trump to run weather-related agencies."

I'm not leaving Mastodon, but I do find myself spending more and more time on Bluesky.
That being said, I took 10K words to work through my thoughts on how best to use any social media.
TL;DR: Be intentional. Find your community. Control your algorithm(s).
It's a story of how I came to find social media I enjoy, a showcase of content you might ❤️, & tool tips for how you can take control of your feeds.
Don't let the mention of Bluesky scare you off.

How and why I (still) use social media: Bluesky isn't dead; used correctly, it's pretty great actually! — Suffolk LIT Lab
TL;DR: Be intentional. Find your community, and control your algorithm(s). I left Twitter in the winter of 2022 after about 15 years as a power user. During the intervening years I’ve learned a lot about myself and social media.David Colarusso (Suffolk LIT Lab)
I am wrestling with both right now. One my biggest gripes in Bsky is the limited post length. I work best when I can can get a full complete thought out with citations and quotes. Mastodon (at least this instance) has a 500 character limit. That works for me. 300 characters on bsky is just too confining. I hate it.
I've found myself sort of microblogging more here lately, but engagement on bsky (at least in my nerd circles) is pretty good, so I'm there too.

Nothing makes you realize how dumb the super rich in Silicon Valley are as much as their love of Curtis Yarvin. This is a guy whose big idea is that diversity is ruining America so much that we should dismantle democracy and our universities then install a dictator to make America white again.

Tα ξημερώματα της Τετάρτης 9/7/2025, η ΕΛΑΣ σε συνεργασία με τις Κτιριακές Υποδομές (ΚΤΥΠ) και τον Δήμο Αθηναίων, εκκένωσαν τον ελεύθερο χώρο του Αυτοδιαχειριζόμενου Κήπου Κάτω Πατησίων, στην Πάτμου και Καραβία 23.
Ο κήπος των 2.1 στρεμμάτων που ξανάνοιξε στη γειτονιά στις 13 Ιουνίου 2025 μετά από 2 χρόνια για να γίνει ένας ανοιχτός κοινωνικός χώρος και ένα δημιουργικό εργαστήρι αυτοδιαχείρισης, οριζοντιότητας και κοινωνικής αλληλεγγύης στα Κάτω Πατήσια, σήμερα έκλεισε από την αστυνομία, την ΚΤΥΠ και τον Δήμο Αθηναίων ώστε να επιστρέψει στην πρότερη κατάσταση του.
Στόχος τους είναι να ρημάξει ώστε κάποια στιγμή να «γκρεμιστεί», να αποχαρακτηριστεί, να το μπαζώσουν και να το τσιμεντοποιήσουν. Η Δημοτική Αρχή του Χάρη Δούκα σε συνέχεια της παρακαταθήκης του Κώστα Μπακογιάννη επιτίθεται και εκκενώνει απελευθερωμένους χώρους που μάχονται για περισσότερο πράσινο και λιγότερο τσιμέντο.
Σε ΚΤΥΠ, Δήμο, Χρυσοχοϊδη και εργολάβους, ένα πράγμα έχουμε να πούμε: ΔΕΝ ΦΕΥΓΟΥΜΕ ΑΠΟ ΤΗ ΓΕΙΤΟΝΙΑ, ΕΣΕΙΣ ΔΕΝ ΧΩΡΑΤΕ ΕΔΩ.

This should get way more attention: the creation of more obscenely rich people on the back of not only the poorest nations in the world, but also to the detriment of the civil society who is actually financing those aids via their taxes, and democratic values everywhere.

PULL. THE. PLUG.
It's actually really simple. Capitalists are just making it seem hard.
Einer dieser Indikatoren, dafür wie kaputt heute alles ist, ist ja dass keine Suche mehr "keine Ergebnisse" liefert.
Das wäre ja auch furchtbar!
Seinerzeit, zu meiner Zeit, war es ja mal üblich korrekte Ergebnisse zu liefern. So sehr dass es #Googlewhack als Begriff für Google-Suchen nach zwei geläufigen Wörtern gab, die zusammen nur genau EIN Ergebnis lieferten.
Stattdessen heute mal im PlayStore nach "pleroma" suchen? Erstes Ergebnis ein einigermaßen tauglicher Client, ein weiterer halber, dann totaler Schrott, Malware und unten am Bildschirmrand weitere Werbung. Auf Seite 3 kommt dann noch ein halb-funktionsfähiger Client und auf Seite 7 der nächste.
Vergleich #FDroid? Drei Ergebnisse die 'pleroma' tatsächlich in ihrer Beschreibung stehen haben.
Du musst dich schon anstrengen um eine schlechtere Suche als FDroid zu bauen, aber als Such-Gigant und Marktführer schafft man das natürlich. /s

even weirder:
1️⃣ pleroma
2️⃣ "pleroma"
give different results
Me:
Hey playstore show at least 1 result from the results I got from [pleroma] in ["pleroma"]
Play: sorry, can't oblige
Me: Wait, do you mean that the query [pleroma] is completely different from ["pleroma"]??
Play: It's not the same thing.
Me: IT IS.
Play: WRONG! GOODBYE!
Anyway, both these screenshots with ALT text show the difference.
Also no result in one search appears in the other
