Long Covid doesn’t exist! You’re an astroturfer scientist bot from the deepstate made to make us believe COVID really happened. It was all a ploy to reduce our liberties, but thankfully, you lost because the great orange squirrel is now head of the free world and will make it free once again!

Nice! Glad you found it :)
oh oh… I’m in danger.
There’s no economical incentive to join the fediverse for large corporations - at least not yet. I think it’ll take another 5 years before that happens.
The [email protected] and [email protected] movements would have to become mainstream first, because let’s be honest, the fediverse is the actual contender to US social media. Although, right now it’s really fediverse vs bluesky. Once someone creates a reddit clone on top of bluesky, then the fediverse will lose that battle, because people are uncomfortable with choice.
Look back at the shit you wrote as a teenager. We were all dumb.
I never understood pinterest. I think a different interface for https://mastodon.art/ should get you most of the way there. Maybe @[email protected] has a suggestion.
Mike Nicholson has learned to expect sullen faces and folded arms when he enters a classroom. “They’re like, well, this is all going to be woke rubbish,” he says, ruefully. A former English teacher, Nicholson now runs Progressive Masculinity, which organises workshops for teenage boys in British secondary schools exploring positive ways to be a man. Teenagers so rarely hear the word “masculinity” without “toxic” attached, he explains, that they’re expecting a lecture. Once they realise they can talk freely, they barely stop.
Amen. I’ve been saying this or a while: stop using the term toxic masculinity! It’s ostracizing men. The left has to stop treating men like the enemy and stop with their purity tests.
Then the left wonders why people aren’t flocking to them. They preach diversity, inclusion, openness, safe space, and so on, but if someone utters a thought that doesn’t fit the narrative you’re a nazi, a misogynist, an enlightened centrist, a capitalist, or whatever else can be thrown at you.
All in all, a great article, but if shared in left-wing circles, there’ll probably a lot of name-calling and jokes about “men are afraid of strong women”, “they’re afraid of losing power”, “see how it feels”, and so on. It’s like people cannot find the empathy in themselves they so loudly call for in others.
Fuck Mozilla, is all I’ve got to say.
Probably if you called it “fedi imageboard” it wouldn’t get such a negative reaction.
It’s a plus and a negative: how anti-fascist and anti-capitalist it is. I do think that it can go too far at times, but I just block those people. We should try to be less binary as that just isn’t what reality is like.
Porn? How is lemmy different in that way?
Bytes? What even is a byte in a brain? How much information is that? I think if you said “a tweet of 250 characters”, I could give you an answer, but 1024 bytes???
I think you’re forgetting the context of the discussion…
Not them but yes but it’s not a feature of the system, it’s a failure of the humans.
A system designed to be used by humans has an attribute bound to be exploited by humans and it’s the failure of humans for exploiting it.
That’s the problem: for communism to work, it requires perfect beings that act according to how the system is designed. Humans do not do that.
If you think metadata is worthless, I would like to make you aware about Snowden and his revelations. Look them up.
So you’re agreeing with me that it will be abused.
There’s no way that isn’t going to be abused. Some marketing or tracking agency will setup a fediverse server and just collect all data like this for free. Or worse, take advantage of a friendica instance to bombard it with requests for data collection purposes.
Officially 40, realistically… 20? Bossman makes a dollar, I make a dime, you know how it goes.
