  This really underscores that “The Company Town” is very much alive. Also move over East India Trading Co.

  We’ve let the Internet too few big players. It used to be more diverse, more federated. Now it’s just the New TV for Advertisers to shit down your neck.

  I’m not even sure if we can go back without inventing new technologies not captured by bureaucratic establishments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Federated social media from before it was cool⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is by design. The primary email relays have been captured for snooping. The spam lists are just a tool to solidify “winners” who comply with giving up your data.

  First I heard they even had a fedi.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mbin instances⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I would definitely skip out on Mastodon and Lemmy directly. They’re fine as a temporary visit but long term nah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mbin instances⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dickhead meet Dickbutt, sounds like reddit poetry to me

  So using tags am I to understand this is a

  Qt, Linux Phone, Desktop, FlatHub, App for Lemmy and Kbin akin to Tuba?

  Aw that’s rad, I’ve yet to have found a thumb cluster that feels like the right amount of keys and shapes, this is very interesting

  How did the keyboard turn out? Is it Classic ISO or Planet 6?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone using PixelFed? How is your experience so far?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, IRL people say the same thing and stuff like eww The Fed.

  Not sure what he’s supposed to do about it now, even PixelMail could have done the thing explaining that its federated

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastodon Incorporates as a Non-Profit in the US⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes it seems like it’s by design.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As TikTok ban threatens stability in social media ecosystem, some brands settle into the fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The need for decentralization & federation is self evident.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The need for a Fedi Union.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  3 hour mandatory meetings 3 times a week

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your complaints about Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Content moderation should be “opt-in”.

  Each community should have overlapping moderation teams – the user can subscribe or unsubscribe to the " filters" those moderators create.

  The user should be put at the middle of the world and the user should be given supreme authority over which blocklists, content filters they subscribe to the same as which communities.

  They should be able to discriminate against users whose profiles contain various emojis or flags stating their affiliations should they so choose.

  If the user wants to avoid content from evangelicals and activist groups they dislike they should be given the tools to hide posts from those people.

  None of this should be decided for them, they should decide for themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your complaints about Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Upvote/downvote system turns content to a “popularity contest”.

  There is no way to categorize content by " funny", “insightful”, " serious", “scientific”, " helpful", etc…

  Steam is a good example of this done right, comments can be given Trophies, misskey does Emoji’s IIRC

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit Signs AI Content Licensing Deal Ahead of IPO⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Problem is Reddit content and votes aren’t all human so unless they kept a record of which parts are just chatbots and which votes were faked its not exactly useful to train on in a pure sense.

  Considering the disinformation wars and botnets between the big countries its hard to even get a idea of what people really think and what is bullshit and what isn’t.

  In any case I’m glad reddit has fucked themselves. This small corner of sanity is a bastion in a shit blizzard.
