Moreover, Bluesky already feels a bit like how social media would look if a non-TERF version of the Guardian was running it. It’s very liberal, very centrist, and very ‘don’t rock the boat too much’.
We’ll be keeping an eye on this, and for the moment we’ll be posting to both Twitter and Bluesky. We look forward to engaging with you wherever you end up.
“we’re not ready to choose between the cop bar and the Nazi bar, so for now we’ll keep hanging out in both.”
Of course they don’t mention fediverse as an option. Of course.
I read most of it until I reached the point where it’s a slow-burn advertisement for their own AI assistant
Tech journalists never learn anything from history. No Vc-funded social media is good
For now. They’re still in their growth phase. If they ever become dominant and they need to make money, they’ll turn into a walled garden like every other. Everyone seems to forget that Twitter, Reddit and Facebook were also all about openness at the start
Unfortunately decompression is very slow, approximately four months.
Listen, we have “engagement”, why not call this type of of content “enragement”?
How any times do they have to learn the same lesson?
Don’t pretend we can’t see Poland on the right half of Czechia!
as an instance? lemmy.dbzer0.com. I’m an ancom and used to be top mod of /r/anarchism for years. For communities we run /c/anarchism and /c/flippanarchy
Actually we’re not an explicit piracy instance. We just run the piracy comm but I never planned it to primarily about piracy.
Stop trying to make “streets ahead” happen!
It’s tough being an ADHD Hacker
Your install USB is infected by a rookit and reinstalls itself on connect.
People do and have left communities in the past. /r/Marijuana to /r/trees comes immediately to mind and there have been many many others. But leaving for an entirely different service has a way higher executive cost. Once people are in the fediverse however, the cost to switching primary communities is not that high, and we’ve seen that away when people moved from !risa@startrek.website to !tenforward@lemmy.world due to mod actions.
Again, the point is that nobody can ever stop you from running a community as you see fit, unlike reddit, which easily ban you and your community for any or no reason. And if your community is run well and the other has indeed power-trippin mods, the people will come to yours, as has happened multiple times before. So no, it’s not the same shithole, unless you make one.
Reddit startled the same way. It’s aways first the tech weirdos, early adopters and Foss enthusiasts that start it.
Unlike the reddit, you can always make your own instance and host your own communities and nobody will ever ban you. That’s the whole point of being distributed.
I’m not a celebrity :D
horde-safety has been out for a year now. Just saying… It’s not a trained AI model in this way, but it’s still using Neural Networks (i.e. “AI Technology”)
