- Comment on Do you think Social Media is just exaggerated as being placed of being the source of all problems? 1 week ago:
Social media, like most things in life, has its good and bad sides. Places like twitter and Facebook have definitely been moved to the “bad” side of things through the use of an algorithm to curate the user’s experience and steer them towards socially harmful content. It’s much more difficult to do this on federated SM because anti social messaging doesn’t get amplified.
It’s not a panacea, and there will be attempts to corrupt it, but federated SM does give me hope that we can escape the rabbit hole of billionaire bro psychopaths.

On the other hand, there is something to be said for having a small test before joining. I remember Usenet before and after it became easier to use.
- Comment on When Lemmy got named did no one think that the "lemming" association might alienate people? 4 weeks ago:

- Comment on Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge 5 weeks ago:
It’s not that bad yet. FF works on pretty much any site that’s not demonstrating some sort of bleeding edge fuckery. I haven’t seen a “best viewed in Chrome” for a decade or two.
Hopefully this sort of enshittification will drive more people to use other browsers.

- Comment on Apple turns off iCloud encryption feature in UK following reported government legal order. 5 weeks ago:
So despite all the tough talk, they just roll over and capitulate. The only way to protest this is to move your stuff off Apple.

If text-to-speech doesn’t work, then is it not discriminatory against blind people?
