I’m so goddamn sick of talks in between the lines and discussions happening on shitpost threads
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
it is that represents people’s major obstacle to joining Mastodon
There’s always room for improvement but i believe there’s not much drastically wrong with mastodon, the obstacle is people themself conforming to whatever is popular you could pay them to join mastodon and they would still not do it, see how they would rather pay for windows than switch to linux.

The problem is something else. Energy in winter canada shouldn’t be used to power factories, the industry should be moved south but you have invisible lines on a map preventing that from ever happening.

You are, intentionally or otherwise, distorting what I said. Who cares about “me” - yes I stopped recommending Fediverse tools bc it’s useless to do so especially when the developers themselves don’t even seem to care about making it a good platform to use for others besides themselves, meh it’s their code and their right to do whatever they wish - but anyway I’m just one person.
Distorting what you are saying? You keep saying the feediverse is bad, It’s not. Go back to reddit.

Governments spend billions on propaganda, world politicians use twitter because there are agreements and the platform is trusted.
Stop saying that mastodon suck, it doesn’t and it’s much better than twitter or bluesky.
Ask yourself why people all flock to the same platform.
Because someone they know or they are following use that platform.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
The only reason mastodon isn’t as popular as bluesky is because famous people got told to go there and not on mastodon.
Does that instance make people in the Western world feel comfortable when they visit it - especially mainstream normies… or even scientists
The ceo of twitter is a pedophile who advertise for political parties on a daily basis. The average normie use whatever platform is popular and it’s not mastodon because nobody is being paid or told to use it.

- Comment on 'Our Genocide': How do Israelis feel about the war in Gaza? | On the Ground 4 weeks ago:
Thanks for sharing your thoughts i can understand why you feel they way you do. Personally i don’t like much pools, they can be deceptive and shouldn’t be trusted as what the majority of people actually believe; they also tunnel opinions that may be more elaborated into binary options. What really strikes me in the video is the dystopian scenario where many people seem to just be chilling and living their first world life a few kilometers away from a war and misery. The divergence is so strong that it makes you question if we are more or less all doing the same thing

- Comment on Pope Leo XIV dislikes AI, won’t authorise creation of AI Pope—"If we automate the whole world and only a few people have the means with which to more than just survive"~ there’s a big problem 5 weeks ago:
friendly reminder from an athiest; this pope is a good dude and a mathematician, he knows what’s up.
friendly reminder from someone that doesn’t label himself according to his beliefs in fairy tales: the pope is the ceo of a bigot cult that use fear to manipulate and control people. He’s not a good dude and has a history already of defending fellow cult pedophiles.

- Comment on Trump is building ‘one interface to rule them all.’ It’s terrifying. 2 months ago:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XKeyscore
“You could read anyone’s email in the world, anybody you’ve got an email address for. Any website: You can watch traffic to and from it. Any computer that an individual sits at: You can watch it. Any laptop that you’re tracking: you can follow it as it moves from place to place throughout the world. It’s a one-stop-shop for access to the NSA’s information. … You can tag individuals … Let’s say you work at a major German corporation and I want access to that network, I can track your username on a website on a forum somewhere, I can track your real name, I can track associations with your friends and I can build what’s called a fingerprint, which is network activity unique to you, which means anywhere you go in the world, anywhere you try to sort of hide your online presence, your identity.”
- Comment on Trump is building ‘one interface to rule them all.’ It’s terrifying. 2 months ago:
The Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to combine access to the sensitive and personal information of Americans into a single searchable system with the help of shady companies should terrify us – and should inspire us to fight back.
We should indeed fight back against the governments and corporations that for decades have been doing this shit.

If you care about the environment and are upset about corporations and their datacenters your best voting option is neither the red or blue party.
- Comment on Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water! 2 months ago:
You should complain whenever million gallons of water are wasted by corporations seeking profits or by governments for their shady operations. Not just when it’s about AI.

Wi-Fi mesh might be possible with neighbors, but mitm is extremely likely.
While not secure it could still provide a free and censorship-less alternative to the internet
- Comment on As governments around the world are set to make the Internet more restrictive and privacy-invading, we need a solution 2 months ago:
Frankly, the answer should be for every site to just cut the UK off entirely.
Tech corporations own most popular and visited websites/services, they are not going to do it. That said you have countries with major websites blocked like russia or china, while it upset many people censored internet is also a strong tool to brainwash people so don’t assume a blockage would lead to a positive outcome.
- Comment on As governments around the world are set to make the Internet more restrictive and privacy-invading, we need a solution 2 months ago:
The main thing to do is remain calm, make it a key voter issue, and watch the bastards fold right before the next election.
What’s your plan to make it a key voter issue? Lamenting about it on censored internet?
We need bulletproof alternatives and solutions.
- Comment on As governments around the world are set to make the Internet more restrictive and privacy-invading, we need a solution 2 months ago:
You are not overreacting, an alternative to internet is needed and it’s not that hard to create, there are many projects already of networks working over radio and wifi, we should probably just stick to one of these and work to expand it
