They shouldn't just defederate from Meta, they should defederate from any other instances that federate with Meta. Like a firewall against late stage capitalism

You're missing that the climate crisis is not a problem that can be solved by consumers, that's what BP wants to make you believe by introducing the carbon footprint. Those companies are actively working to hold on to the status quo because they have lots of money flowing their way until things change.

The message behind this is not to stop buying from those companies, it's that they are knowingly destroying our future and that we have a right to defend ourselves and this future.

People should stop praising "an actual app" as an advantage.

There is nothing in functionality that a good PWA can't do well for a Lemmy client. It's cross platform and can be used in the browser of your choice, without the lock-in to a single app store.

People are coming from a closed system like Reddit because Reddit abused it's power and now they're asking for apps in a store where another company might do the same. I don't get it.

In mid-May 2023, the home of one of Kolektiva.social's admins was raided, and all their electronics were seized by the FBI. The raid was part of an investigation into a local protest. Kolektiva was neither a subject nor target of this investigation. Today, that admin was charged in relation to their alleged participation in this protest.

It's from May and it's the FBI, so no, I would say it's not in relation to the situation happening in France.

So it's a browser?

It's started by the military, so it's a coup, maybe a revolt. In my definition, a revolution is done by the people, not the military.

I think there should be an alliance of instances that defederate from any instance that federates with Meta.

Edit: is it just that they are a German company?

Yes, they are.

That's like suggesting calling your phone provider when your phone doesn't work.

A bit pessimistic though.

It's mainly the developer tools that were way better than in any other browser for a while. I think Firefox has caught up and I thought about switching a couple of times, but old habits die hard.

It's too late.

Right, so everyone should just do without synchronization to mobile devices or set up their own Bitwarden. That sounds like a solution for the masses.

Google should just redirect to the archived page if the link to Reddit is dead.

What's the difference between black and brown bear poop?

::: spoiler spoiler One has fruit stones in it, the other one contains bear bells. :::

Edit: it makes sense to make oneself heard, the worst thing that can happen is quietly walking around a corner and there's a bear with two cubs close by.

Bear bells are a bit annoying and clapping or just talking to each other also works. Humans are not considered bait for bears and they will usually try to avoid you.

There are good books about avoiding bear attacks when in the backcountry.

Hosting it on Google Docs, I like the irony!

That depends on your username and whether you provided an email address. People should be aware of this.

You'd see comments and posts from their users on other instances that don't block Meta.

It's unclear how many users you would actually exclude, I think a lot of users who are on the fediverse right now don't want to have anything to do with Meta.

As the fediverse grows, there will be different bubbles with not much interaction between those, mainly because some instances won't be moderated while others will try to create discrimination free environments.

I'd say it could lead to some kind of revolutionary movement, but for that it would be helpful if there was already some kind of organized resistance, which I think is not the case. It's definitely a test of Putin's power and will show how good repression and propaganda have been. I'm afraid it's been good and if there is a shift in power, it will just be new assholes with money and weapons, not a revolution. But we'll see, it's definitely interesting to watch.

If you're interested in resistance movements and when they're likely to succeed, here's a good start: https://fullspectrumresistance.org/

They pledge to defederate from Meta, I'd go one step further and defederate from any instance that federates with Meta.

Above command will perform a single-user installation of Nix, meaning that /nix is owned by the invoking user. You should run this under your usual user account, not as root. The script will invoke sudo to create /nix if it doesn’t already exist.

The issue with Reddit is not that devs were making third-party apps for it… it’s with the people running the platform.

The issue with the App Store is not that devs are making apps and distribute them there... it's with the people running the App Store.

Well, technically there are apps that let you access all those services. They're called browsers.

It's really strong pepper spray, you spray it between you and the bear, towards the ground approx 10m from you I think. They do come with instructions though, please read them before use.
