I’d appreciate it if everyone could just stop burning fossil fuels, please. Thank you for your cooperation.
Protecting children from accidentally seeing anything slightly sexy is naturally the top priority. That’s what is harmful to minors. We better all stick to legally safe things like racism-based disinformation.
… but yeah, the designers of mastodon deliberately chose to avoid posts any longer than very short.
“Instead of constantly making futile attempts to control the weather, we should adapt to the ever-changing climate that has existed since time immemorial. After all, climate has always been a reality that impacts humanity from the outside, and we must align our actions accordingly.” — from Google’s translation of the AfD manifesto
Huh. I knew they were pretty openly fascist, but didn’t realize they were climate deniers too.
Reading this is not going to be good for my faith in humanity, is it. Let’s see…
With these techniques in mind, you may be able to persuade people to take bold actions such as sharing a video, initiating a conversation, or signing up for a newsletter.
If you wait until you’re 40 it’ll be super easy.
They did a study on my brain? I didn’t even know about it.
If the idea is to connect with family and friends, there are parts of the Fediverse where you can post stuff that’s only visible to followers. Probably not possible on lemmy or piefed though, I think.
the government doesn’t want to put limits on tech companies, that’s so fucking backwards.
/s ?
Mild surprise at the suggestion that “evidence” or “science” has anything to do with it.
If disk space is a problem, why don’t more instances delete old stuff? 99% of what’s posted doesn’t need to be archived forever.
Oh, is that what everyone’s reacting to? Just the headline? Yeah, weird that so many people were not previously aware of the basic facts of life.
Michel Mayor, Nobel laureate in physics, discusses important questions such as “dude, wouldn’t it be cool if we could send people to live on other planets on the far side of the galaxy?” and “if there are aliens, what do you think they’re like?”
If they make the fediverse illegal, then it will be illegal. There’s not much that can be done about it. Obviously we cannot do “age verification.”
It would look really bad, politically, so they probably won’t go that far right now — they’ll just slowly push things in that direction until it seems feasible.
Finland wins again!
Much as people would like them to, both upvotes and downvotes mean very little. I learned this on reddit but it seems equally true here.
On my fediverse accounts:
And yet somehow it is addictive enough, whereas Facebook and Reddit made me angry enough to quit them forever.
That’s why the DNA for all my clones is meticulously transcribed by hand by the children in my sweatshops in Sri Lanka. They’re given every motivation to be accurate.
As you seem to appreciate, 95% of the time matrix is exactly what’s needed. People seem to hate it because it’s slightly different than discord, but anything that isn’t discord is going to have that problem. It also has other problems, but at least it’s not as bad as fucking discord.
I don’t know, you’re probably more likely to find Akkoma instances these days. It’s pretty similar.
People were complaining about .ml long before I thought it was justified, but I looked again recently and yeah, maybe. This instance doesn’t federate with it so I don’t see it often. Based on my quick impressions the other day it’s gotten worse. Not that it’s an “echo chamber” and I don’t mind hanging out with communists, but there’s too much low-quality noise.
Personally I wouldn’t block the whole server if it were up to me. There are still good people there. Just be quick to block the people and posts you really object to.
