  Reread my message since my last edit. I’m not arguing that at all; I’m simply saying that if the open source Fediverse wants to appeal to a wider audience, it needs to appeal to the needs and wants of that audience. That’s not the same as merely federating with an ActivityPub instance that already does have that appeal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please defederate from threads.net⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your argument was that people aren’t using servers that run FLOSS federated software is because they’re not aware of them. My argument is that the people who aren’t aware are also people who wouldn’t use those servers even if they knew.

  The people who run their own mail servers are massive nerds, the people who are on Mastodon are also massive nerds. This status quo won’t change just because a megacorp adopts ActivityPub. So if that’s your argument, the original commenter’s point still stands.

  Why would anyone join Lemmy/Mastodon if they could join Threads instead for the same content? Normal people don’t care that your shit is FLOSS or decentralised, they just want convenience.

  Fair, although explaining XSS to someone who doesn’t know what Javascript is sounds like information overload

  witness.

  You download a copy of a photo I took on your computer.

  I have a website that lets people see the photo, it’s a popular website

  Except that photo on my website doesn’t point to a copy of that photo on one of my computers, it points to the copy on yours.

  Millions of people visit my website, and each time they do, they download your copy of my photo.

  Uploading that photo to millions of computers across the world fucks up your internet service.

  It is a selfish and short view of the world.

  Empathy, cognitive, emotional, compassionate, comes more naturally to some individuals over others.

  What you see here is someone who may not understand the situation and its consequences, or has trouble forming a connection with the people impacted by the situation. But the compassion does show, they’re reaching out, asking questions, trying to understand.

  I don’t think that’s a sign of a selfish or short-sighted person.

  Shut the fuck up

  Yesterday, Neuralink announced that it had received approval from an independent review board to begin a study aiming to enable people with paralysis to control a computer keyboard or cursor with their thoughts

  That goddamn psychopath is trying to exploit the vulnerable and desperate.
