Can you imagine how exciting it would be though when this actually started to work? This probably started as a side project, with a dude saying like, nahhh this could never work.
Until suddenly it did

If I have mastodon, how and when can I follow Blue sky users? I read something about an adapter server or something, but I don’t know what that means in a practical sense.
I use proton VPN for torrenting. It doesn’t show I’ve downloaded anything. I think that means my VPN is working? 😅
The people here who 1) think a breakup of Google will actually happen, and 2) think that a paid subscription model for a search engine have all been spending too much time in their Linux bubble.
If Google did this, everyone would just switch to Bing, or open AI’s new thing they are making. The general public will not be on board with that.
When people say things like this, I wonder if they understand how impossible it is. Google is not just a company. It is a 2 trillion dollar entity. Even if Google search entirely fails, it will still persist. At this point, you may as well say, “The wind needs to be ended.” You don’t end the wind. The wind already won. It will outlive you, me, and our children.
What we can do is protect against it. We can deal with it. We can contain it. We can redirect it and repurpose it to be helpful. But ending it? That doesn’t happen.
A far shorter list would be the few that are not vulnerable
Is genocide denial not racism?
Defederating sends a message that the world doesn’t like tankie bullshit
Exactly. Why are we federated with people who deny genocides? Fuck all of that
I’m all for defederating from tankie instances. They suck.
Ah ok. This is a very sensible change. I never post, but I interact probably once a month or so.
It absolutely did. Instances should have acted on that day 1.
I recommend becoming friends with the furries and anarchists on mastodon. They are all pretty cool
Total number of posts isn’t really a helpful data point I think. Like yeah of course it will go up, but is the rate increasing or decreasing? That’s the more interesting number.
I am all for a temporary defederation.
.world has power. It has the people and the content. Flexing a little in support of human rights is 100% a good thing.
Power to you. I feel like whenever I say anything trying to inject some form of “genocide is bad” into one of their conversations, I get about 20 comments telling me I’m a shitty person for saying that. Or like, a copy and pasted book that they want me to read and then I’ll understand why genocide is “justified.”
It’s fucked.
So yeah, thanks for your effort, you aren’t alone 😅
People who support fascist governments - specifically, Russia, China, North korea.
They will also rightly say things about how America does bad things too. And that is true. It’s ok to admit that.
They, on the other hand, will never admit that Russia or China is ever doing something unethical or wrong.
I’ve been using Lemmy since June, and… I’m really curious. Has there been any developments since then, in terms of actual platform features? (Not saying anything about the .world server devs, they are fantastic)
Correct. If year over year change is negative though, then that might be an issue.
I’m curious, could you elaborate on what this means and what it would accomplish if successful?
