Shouldn't be used to compose new words, it doesn't follow any single logical structure.
I doubt that a simplified English would be much better, but esperanto is nice.
1 hour of #esperanto lessons has made me hate English... god why can't languages be as consistent and nice as esperanto?

I am surprised there is not an #ARM version of the #Tor browser, only an android version.
That means #RaspberryPi users like me have to build their own tor browsers... it's a burden to be frank.
I've already voted, i hope the far right loses.
Ya voté, espero que la ultraderecha pierda.

The legendary #Dragon_Quest 3 will receive a new remake made by the Octopath Traveler devs with its engine and aesthetic.
Meanwhile i am paying the original Dragon Quest for the #NES, what a coincidence. Also the own Dragon Quest creator leaked that they will be also remaking the first and second games. Good Arceus... now i envy every person who can play these remakes in these times of console scarcity and overpriced PC components...

I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.

The Israeli/Palestinean conflict and the word "apartheid"
I've felt unsure whether "apartheid" is a term that applies to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict/occupation, but Human Rights Watch wrote a detailed, thoughtful, convincing report saying that threshold has been definitively crossed https://www.hrw.org/report/2021/04/27/threshold-crossed/israeli-authorities-and-crimes-apartheid-and-persecution

Difficult to quantify what an ecological disaster Bitcoin is, but this comes close.
#misskey (dot io) implements #ads and somehow i don't hate it.
I actually like misskey's interface more than Mastodon's one, i wonder how good misskey supports #ActivityPub.

Kudos to @NGIZero for the funding of my work 😋
With qanon we discovered that right wing politics is 99% gossip.
Some of them were saying that the US military would take control of the country in order to restore Trump's presidency, after all that circlejerck these allegations reached the ears of generals and journalists, becoming a real concern.
But it was all false. It was all pure hateful gossip. The biggest gossiper of them all was #Trump
#nintendo Game Builder Garage is an amazing idea, it brings a very important concept into the most mainstream console currently. Many kid's first console is the #switch.
In my opinion this is a leveled up version of #scratch combined with #mario maker, since you can make very powerful games by learning programming and logic, you can make your own version of Gradius if you want.
I like when Nintendo is like this.
