Sorry, I hate to be that guy, but since you’re dismissing the opinion of one of the people that designed the first decentralised social media protocol, I’m going to assume it’s because you’re better qualified to make the assessment. Can I ask, what are your qualifications?

Now it makes sense.

If people were to move from ml or support a mirror, I would recommend [email protected] . But moving to world is a terrible idea. Not because of bad admins, moderators or anything similar, but because centralisation is bad.

Why?

I actually think it’s a societal issue rather than an intelligence issue. As a society we boost celebrities and put them on a pedestal almost deifying them. While at the same time we create a poisonous world and also ignore mental health. So of course people will follow celebrities like a religion hoping to bask in their glory at worst and change their life at best.

With Caitlyn, she should’ve faded to obscurity years ago and a better society would’ve ensured she needed for nothing. She should at least feel a sense of responsibility but again, capitalism is all about trampling on the weak and getting ahead.

Until we eradicate monetary wealth and support mental health as a matter of course at all levels, things like this will happen and people like this will thrive. We have to end capitalism for a better tomorrow.

It’s never okay to dead name. Even people you find despicable. Dead naming isn’t about them, it’s about you… like being polite to wait staff.

As they should. I hope they burn all data and figure out a way to function going forwards without storing any data

They don’t federate with my instance. I think the last time I ran into some of them was in a UK politics thread.

I honestly don’t believe they actually lied. I think they were being earnest and only claimed they were being manipulative when caught by hexbears to save face.

Having read everything that’s been linked here, I’m inclined to believe this.

I don’t know enough about Hexbear, my interactions with them in the communities I go to have been overwhelmingly positive. But I recognise the toxicity elsewhere. That said, the moderators and admins here were clearly on the right side and tried to make positive changes. It’s a shame there’s opposition to that.

Yup, Matter is just the evolution of ZigBee. It’s not where it needs to be but it’s going in the right direction.

I’m afraid there won’t be one replacement for WordPress, because it has so many applications. The pure blogging aspect could be substituted by Writefreely, more advanced users may go to Ghost, and I’m not sure what small business and corporate websites will turn to?

I think this is probably the best solution. All the power shouldn’t be centralised.

A healthy sized update. Fantastic work everyone.

What’s so good about PieFed?

Same

I think we need to think about how we as a society support these megalithic companies. I’m not against them providing services, but not while they dodge tax and they should be forced to match whatever they generate for themselves with contributions to the grid to help keep the cost down for normal people.

I would hope they stuck to clean energy though.

When black people talk about things that affect black people, they’re accused of racism and threatened with losing their whip. If this was Jew against Jew, everyone would be too shit scared of being called an antisemite that they wouldn’t dare speak up. It’s sad that black people are an acceptable punching bag.

And for the record, Badenoch is a white supremacist.

Nothing particularly progressive here sadly.

I ain’t listened yet. Will go through it later and come back to you.

Nice, let me switch that out

Aha! Thank you.
