How is that regulated?

Diaspora, too, but I’m not sure how active that project is nowadays.
- Comment on Scientists move to Bluesky, transitioning away from X and Meta platforms 5 days ago:
Bluesky is more popular because it has VC money behind it.
- Comment on Scientists move to Bluesky, transitioning away from X and Meta platforms 5 days ago:
That isn’t a conspiracy theory. That was, in fact, the original plan. Jack Dorsey explicitly stated this from the outset. However, due to reasons (Wikipedia doesn’t go into specifics), the project lead decided to make Bluesky independent from Twitter. When Musk bought Twitter, he severed all ties.

I think you need to curate your feeds better. My experience doesn’t match yours.
- Comment on Scientists move to Bluesky, transitioning away from X and Meta platforms 5 days ago:
most people won’t want to bother learning what an instance is or what federation means.
What have you seen that convinced you of this? Has this been studied?
- Comment on Scientists move to Bluesky, transitioning away from X and Meta platforms 5 days ago:
When you sign up with Bluesky, it gives you the choice to sign up with the big main server or with an auxiliary server. Just like Lemmy does.
The problem is that when Lemmy got hit with a big influx of users, the main server couldn’t handle the load, so they quit accepting new users. This confused and upset a lot of people, because now they had to go shopping for another instance to apply to, and many of the bigger ones weren’t accepting new users, either, because of the same problem. This was a crucial moment for the adoption of the platform, and the infrastructure just wasn’t there to handle it.

What does this mean? “Good” how?

Nonsense, fellow human! I am sure you—l mean we—have nothing to fear!

Tbh this just sounds like ADHD or something.
No, it’s APD (Auditory Processing Disorder). That’s explained in the article.

YouTube hasn’t been replaced because adblockers still work.
- Comment on Why was there a pro-Hitler, Holocaust-denying ad on X? 2 weeks ago:
He has Nazi sympathizers in his family going back to WWII. He grew up in apartheid South Africa. Dude is scary.

Do you understand Groyper, though?
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
but it feels like old reddit
Yes, and that’s a good thing.
There are lots of Lemmy apps that display posts in different ways. If you want “bells and whistles”, then find an app that gives you that.

Newsflash: Social network owned by Nazi turns out to have a lot of Nazi content.
- Comment on The Government’s Computing Experts Say They Are Terrified | Four IT professionals lay out just how destructive Elon Musk’s incursion into the U.S. government could be. 3 weeks ago:
What’s the point of rules if the president can just ignore them? Were they just counting on the president not being the sort of person who would break the rules? That seems like a bad plan.
- Comment on Accused killer of US insurance CEO pleads not guilty to 'terrorist' murder 2 months ago:
Naw, the health insurance CEO (I refuse to call it healthcare, because it isn’t that) didn’t kill people as a political act. He only did it to line his wallet.
- Comment on ugh i wish 2 months ago:
I felt so much better once I stopped drinking cow milk. If you look into the science, you really don’t need it in your diet at all. Dairy lobbyists managed to get the government to promote it as necessary for health, though.
- Comment on ugh i wish 2 months ago:
Just use oat milk. It’s creamy and delicious, and it lasts longer.
- Comment on ugh i wish 2 months ago:
Have you tried nut or grain milk? I like oat, soy, and rice, but cashew is pretty good, too.

If you’re seeing ads on YouTube, you’re doing it wrong.

Well, if you’re that curious, there is a book about it. The Wikipedia article goes into some detail about what the systems were used for.
They didn’t just truck people into the camps and immediately kill them, so they had to at least track capacity.

There isn’t a workers’ party, either. The US is one of the few industrialized nations that doesn’t have one.
- Comment on "Your body, my choice:" Hate and harassment towards women spreads online 3 months ago:
There are actual statistics in this article, unlike these which I think you made up.
You sound like those people saying that COVID was no big deal because “more people die in auto accidents”. How many people have to be affected before you deem it newsworthy?

Bluesky gives you the option to choose an insurance, too.
