Sorry, I made a mistake when writing.

Joke or anecdote?

I normally use it to help me with my English translations here on lemmy (I can more or less get by but I prefer it to be correct), so I already do it.

I am referring to that which has a widely accepted cultural meaning. That which a large part of society knows and/or not knowing it will make you outside the general culture. This varies in space and time and is not decided independently by anyone, it is rather a consensus between creators and the public.

You can not read it, but you must know it or you will be left out of references that others know, impoverishing your experience.

No, he is not the owner of Mastodon. No, his company is not responsible for what happens there, because there is no company or similar. A non-profit foundation (chaired by Eugen Rochko) develops the software and launches it on mastodon.social, and that foundation does not even participate in what the rest of the instances do. They could go crazy tomorrow, sell the domain or change the software to make it more invasive, the rest of the instances would be sent to hell and the network would continue as if nothing had happened

Yesterday I read on mastodon that leaving Twitter to go to Bluesky is like quitting smoking to start vaping. Changing a centralized place that lives off your data for another one. Right now Bluesky does not have hate speech like Twitter just because it does not suit the current accounts of its shareholders

Look at the Nokia (yes, those Nokia) have models with android asap

Oh, I wasn't referring to the actors, of whom I actually know very little about their personal lives, I was referring to the characters themselves.

Yes, I understand you, in my country it has not yet taken hold in a drastic way, but you see how politicians with ideas, social democrats at most, are treated in the press like ultra-intractable radical leftists.

Thanks for the info, I wasn't paying attention, but because British politics doesn't affect me of course, I'm sorry for what it does.
