Hey! you might be interested to learn there is an entire type of embroidery that uses precious metal pieces called Goldwork.

spools of precious metals that have been wound into very tight springs are used as embroidery or cut into small pieces and sewn on to make beautiful complex patterns.

and garments made this way even take on a different appearance as they oxidize over time!

no need for machining parts! just time, patience and a decent thimble.

i need you to know that “Shakira, when you talk like that” made me have a full on giggle fest and I had to wipe my eyes. thank you much =D

glad to be here =D

why get away from lemmy?

I’ll watch your work on this software with great interest. good luck

i heard Jeri Ryan saying it in my head. that’s pretty cool. 😂

i don’t give a fuck about other places. kiwi farms is filled with psychotic losers.

why do you keep talking about discord? literally nobody cares or has mentioned discord except for you.

i think you have a crush on discord, buddy. you should just install discord and tell discord how you feel about them.

“Guys we don’t harass that bad, ok? We only harass a little bit!!”

that sounds like the loudest yes ever. good lord.

isnt that a site to stalk and dox people?

i just went to bsky. mastodon was a bit too confusing for my tastes.

its ok I edited my comment a bit, I can see how it seemed like I was arguing with ya. apologies bb <3

wha? you didn’t. i just was agreeing with you the whole time.

was just adding my own frustrations to your own, as yours are true.

exactly. and trying to downplay potential users as stupid before they’ve even used a social media platform isn’t going to exactly make them want to stay. or even try in the first place.

just makes mastodon look like a place where nerds reign free and normal folks won’t be able to participate effectively.

if you want to make mastodon a destination and not a niche corner to be avoided, this is not the way.

i agree with you completely.

edit: I should clarify, the “guide” above is the thing insulting users. the guide is inaccurate.

just because it doesn’t typically work that way doesn’t mean it shouldn’t. blocking should absolutely be a two person thing. block from contact and communication, and block the person from being able to stalk and retaliate or harass you in return.

why is it bad to want that?

Hello me, meet the REAL me… and my misfits way of LIFE

honey this is the incorrect place for this rambling stuff. there are likely places you can share that kind of stuff, but here is likely not the best idea.

it does? i don’t see that option anywhere.

edit: of course the second I comment I find the option lol

second edit: hit the settings wheel at the bottom. its on that page.
