Lemmy is probably the best fedidiverse project so far and it's not even close

So they're actively working to block ad blockers, showing more ads, and bundling the ad free version with a worse version of Spotify—a no-win scenario.

The Google's breakup can't happen fast enough.

Why would anyone be surprised by this? Zuckerberg would have to be a complete idiot to not use Instagram's existing social graph for Threads.

I like this Lula guy

It is not well known but there have been numerous scandals which put this trust into question. For example in 2012, a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation UK used his position to place his PR client on Wikipedia’s front page 17 times within a month. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales made extensive edits to the article about himself, removing mentions of co-founder Larry Sanger. In 2007, a prolific editor who claimed to be a graduate professor and was recruited by Wikipedia staff to the Arbitration Committee was revealed to be a 24-year-old college dropout. These are only a few examples, journalist Helen Buyniski has collected much more information about the the rot in Wikipedia.

I don't really understand how decentralization would address the trust and legitimacy problems of Wikipedia. I do see value in adding community wikis to Lemmy, however.

r/piracy is probably on borrowed time. Might as well return it to normal and wait for it to inevitably be banned. By then, Lemmy should hopefully be more polished.

Well that's that I guess. No more Reddit on my phone.

ESG and carbon offsets as an effective way of combating climate change

I recognize that Churches are often community centers and do a lot of good work

Most people don’t appreciate it when you install software on their personal devices without their permission.

Finally, a competitive YouTube alternative

Car-dependent suburban sprawl

People here just downvote anything they don't like even if it's in its own community

idk. After they dropped invite codes, they started requiring phone numbers for sign up.

I’m not trying to defend America but they don’t put you in jail or fine you for using a VPN (yet).

No because they would settle the West Bank and further the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

User-uploadable custom feeds, which aren't really possible with ActivityPub

Apparently, that account is run by a TERF who deadnames trans men and refuses to include trans women's art.

It’ll only get worse until we start building for the next millennium.

I guess we're fucked then

Bluesky uses ATProtocol—not ActivityPub—and will not be compatible with Mastodon or Lemmy.

Terrible migraines whenever you use it

I want to go back to r/196 but I just feel bad every time I open Reddit. I guess I’ll just stay here.

My boss has emphysema and asthma, but refuses to wear a mask when doing demolition because "it makes it too hard to breath." I don't understand this mentality.

More people should donate to this project
