Next point equally dumb: no one owns the fediverse, sure. But if enough instances say no, that means they are not welcome. Democracy and all…
If you want to talk about democracy, technically they would have the most weight as they have the most active users.
that means they are not welcome.
Also to this specifically. Not a single CEO or threads user cares.
I can sit here and spin the exact same question about reducing global exploitation.
Reducing global exploitation would implies self sustainability and with the west, particularly the US, they never reach self sustainability with their current economic model of giving 95% of their production/wealth to the top 1% while a very large portion of its population is struggling economically/mentally/physically.
It’s a stepping stone in the problem of global exploitation, but it can’t happen overnight nor independently.
It is unreasonable to assume a model outside of this will be attainabille within the next two centuries.
Instead let’s focus on drawing back the exploitation within our own country this century then we can shift our perspective. We will never stop exploiting the poorest countries if we’re still exploiting our poorest citizens.
I can see a social media implementation of a communities section and feeding off lemmy that way.
war against Hamas
lol sure against Hamas
Spam implies it’s useless but it seems I can read my content from Reddit on that instance? While also staying on a single app and getting my regular lemmy threads.
Not sure why it’s a problem other than resource intensity, if the users have the option to block an instance as a whole it’s fine.
I don’t agree with them creating bot accounts and commenting on other instances posts though. Everything should be maintained within the instance.
This is actually the problem with mid sized communities. If there’s two political communities and their content is 70% overlapping then you’re obviously going to unsubscribe from one as your feed becomes cluttered. But then you’re missing that 30% of content from the other community.
Bans LGBT+ people
My fyp is full of bipoc LGBTQ+ people? Twitter on the other hand tries to feed me right wing news sources and disinformation all the time. There’s a spectrum here and TikTok is far on the other side.
Also to be frank the algorithm is by far the best out of any company with a “for you” algorithm. It blows pretty much anything else out of the water entirely.
Is it a for you based on your instance or based across all mastadon instances?
Have you checked out Health Sync? That’s what I used to sync before just syncing directly to Strava/Fit from Polar Beat
One single god God, perhaps what makes a god a god? I do believe we form a network or web of connected consciousness. Who’s contained within this web and how interactions work on it is where it gets interesting.
Your subscribed will be the same. All will differ as it grabs everything everyone on that instance is subscribed to.
Ex. If you’re on lemmyworld you’ll see everything there by default but if you swap to instance X and nobody in x is subbed to niche.community@lemmyworld then it won’t be brought to your All
I have no doubt that it’s well maintained and well tested, but how does this provide benefit to an every day intenet user.
The setup for i2p is virtually impossible for 98% of internet users. How do we apply i2p benefits to the 98%. This is the rewrite that must be done. The code is solid and works yes, but it’s the social application that needs to be rethought.
The absolute greatest people you can target with i2p are torrenters as it proves the MOST benefits to them immediately and you generally don’t even see any of them adopting i2p. This is the problem that needs to be thought through.
I2p is notoriously difficult to setup up for the average user as well as being pretty slow right?
It’s also 20 years old, do you think the core i2p code would need to be retackled in order to make it more available to the average user and at that point would it be more advantageous to start from scratch?
But honestly it’s not a huge deal, I swapped an esim in under 3 minutes last week
physical sim card trays
Seems like a backwards move IMO. honestly haven’t needed a tray in ~6 years
Being able to rip the battery out when the phone locks up
How often does your phone lock up that that’s necessary? I used to have lockups a lot more but android is damn stable now, haven’t had one in years.
Needing to make sure it’s actually off and can’t be remotely powered on
Do you disconnect your PC’s PSU?
When it’s 3 years old and the hardware is still well up to the task but the battery lasts 4 hours.
Fair, but if you’re getting 4 hours SOT after 3 years, it’s just not a great phone. My current Note 10+ still pumping out 10 hours SOT and I’m a HEAVY user.
Honestly in 2015 I’m totally on your side for this, but in the last few years I’ve never felt the need to hotswap batteries, and only slightly felt the need to replace it in general.
Just curious, what situations do you find yourself in relatively frequently that a hot swappable batter would be more convenient?
Nowadays w/ 15 SOT I don’t think I’ve actually needed one minus camping where I don’t really use my phone much anyways.
It’s also important to note that Google is doing this already as well. It’s almost impossible to use Google with my VPN provider as I’m slammed with 5 captchas every Google.
Yes thank you as I never see this being mentioned around here. I believe the last monthly active users was 300k? While it’s not nothing, meta doesn’t give any shit about a one time acquisition of 300k users who don’t want to use their platform.
We aren’t even “worth” extinguishing right now. These decisions are being made at a level far above us. We just don’t know why yet. I’m expecting them to use ActivityPub as a tie in for Threads/Insta/FB.
