- Comment on Chances for the fediverse? Elon Musk takes hit as Europeans ditch X in droves 9 hours ago:
Oh boy, where do I even begin:
-
Federation. People have no idea what it is, which means that they have to familiarize themselves with all these technical concepts just to create an account.
-
Servers. Most mastodon servers are locked, and you have to petition the admins to let you in, which often implies waiting more than a day. In other sites, you can create an account in 5 seconds, so mastodon is at a disadvantage.
-
Lack of an algorithm. This implies people won’t see the content they like, which means they have to go and actively look for content. Most people don’t want to spend time doing that, they just want to log in, laugh at funny memes ans look at pretty pictures.

Make mastodon more accessible then.
- Comment on Chances for the fediverse? Elon Musk takes hit as Europeans ditch X in droves 10 hours ago:
Yes. People don’t realize algorithms are one of the main reasons decentralized sited haven’t taken off. Most people don’t want to spend time looking for their content, they just want to log in, laugh at funny memes and look at pretty art

Even then, how many people actually left their Twitter accounts?
I can’t tell how many times I’ve seen people say “I’m leaving Twitter” only to come back after a month

There are a lot of artists on pixelfed, but lack of an algorithm makes finding them very difficult

“Tankies”
The irony with this is that Lemmy was founded by communists and it follows a lot of communist principles.
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 3 weeks ago:
People expect to pay a carpenter or a plumber for their services, why shouldn’t entertainers and content creators be allowed to get paid for their work?
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 3 weeks ago:
It is kinda bad. Especially when it comes to finding content or getting noticed
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 5 weeks ago:
Also a bad thing.
Not sure why the moment you criticize democrats they assume you support the other side
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 5 weeks ago:
And this is why democrats lost and will keep losing.
They can’t be criticized or get called out for supporting a genocide.
It is the bare minimum. They can’t even do that. They want unconditional support and loyalty, but won’t put any effort into accomplishing anything.

Genocide Joe’s bootlicker is hurt…
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 5 weeks ago:
In the Kamala timeline, Israel keeps genociding the Palestinians while the democrats try to do a lot of mental gymnastics to try to paint it as a good thing
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 5 weeks ago:
Meanwhile democrats now:
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 5 weeks ago:
Democrats were more then happy to demonize people who supported Palestine.
In fact, they were happily denying the genocide and telling everyone to shut up about it
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 5 weeks ago:
You weren’t paying enough attention then
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 5 weeks ago:
I like how the people that a year ago were telling you to shut up about Palestine because it was hurting Biden are now trying to guilt trip you about Palestine
