Yeah the mutuality argument is a strong one IMO.
It would be great if the fediverse did have the leverage to influence meta to accept other content.
At the same time, I wonder if there could ever be an implementation that detects asymmetrical & unfair practices across instances to give them consequences in real time.
If the majority of us are truly here specifically to enjoy the freedom of choice, then it would follow that peering with Facebook wouldn’t be a major risk for active users here, and possibly an opportunity to reach a less savvy audience.
Lemmy and mastodon are platforms good for connecting broadly. There could even be a separate instance that is a subsidiary division of a major player.
And as far as hoovering up our data, we’re already out here putting it out there. Don’t put sensitive data on here and don’t sign up for an instance owned by surveillance-capitalists.
Slippery Slope! What’s next, being respectful and accepting of people who aren’t hurting us??
Yes. He fucked that up… We fucked that up. But I do believe it was out of complete incompetence and absolute density and maybe indifference.
Trump is too narcissistic and up his own ass to deliberately export pure sadistic evil the way Putin does.
This is food softcore porn.
The loftiest ruler is barely known among those below. Next comes a ruler people love and praise. After that, one they fear, And then one they despise.
How sincere will the Russians remain for this man?
Best climate change refuge ever
South Park pretty much summed it up. A nonsensical religion is a rational cost for being in a family is nice to each other.
From a product design POV there’s something to be said about having control over every aspect of the system. I can see why people enjoy using apple stuff. It’s not for me though.
Is this really what excites people?

I don’t think the medical staff is the issue, from what I can tell it’s leadership, organizational and financial priorities that are setting health care workers up for failure.
The future of farming in Ukraine is free equipment.
And may the best free software win
In the US I don’t really shop at a lot of these big name department/supermarket stores but I appreciate the deprioritization of superfluous building fashion.
But from what I understand, if you compare our hospitals to those abroad, the values are flipped on their head. We have granite marble waterfront facilities with grand fountains in the lobby and the patients and health care staff are treated like ass, we have poor outcomes that bankrupt us. But at least the place we shouldn’t want to be in looks sharp.
Haha that’s my favorite opinion
So in other words “yes” 😁. Honestly the floors look clean, stuff is on shelves, I have no idea what OP is complaining about.
False sense of security. You accidentally downloaded a virus that doesn’t work on your system… What kind of habits and hygiene are you rolling with on a day to day basis?
I also wonder how the rest of the fediverse can do better to demonstrate its value, in terms of users and content, which would cause threads users to desire content from us.
