  • The fact that most of those are considered a "civil war" should tell you everything.

    WW2 involved multiple nations on both sides, and resulted in millions of deaths. The closest to that was the Korean War, which had Russian pilots flying for Korea, and flying from Chinese bases.

    Like I said, nothing on the scale of ww2.

  • You could make a strong case that the second world war came close though.

    We've never seen warfare on that scale before, where one group of allies is fighting another, the closest is Ukraine, where two countries each have allies supplying weapons and other supplies.

  • Then I looked at the comments of many of these videos and it became clear that the issue was widespread. Here are comments I saw on the gore videos:

    And people fucking commented on them, rather than just closing the app and doing something else with their life?

    What is wrong with people? Has Instagram really got people so well trained they will just sit there and watch people dying out of habit?

  • Possibly, although anyone who already has an account on Bluesky would likely stay there, and Bluesky has the upper hand in name recognition, and there is the uphill battle of explaining the concept of federation to people who have little interest in technology.

    And that's if, hypothetically speaking, Mastodon was as easy to use.

    It's not happening. Also, if it's anything like here, the non stop Linuxposting would probably annoy people.

  • Honestly, that ship has sailed, I think. When Musk first took over Twitter and everyone was bailing, if Mastodon was a viable alternative it could have taken off.

    Now that Bluesky has overtaken them, and is seen as the alternative to Twitter, I think the opportunity has been lost.

  • Except Starlink already has direct to cell technology, with satellites already in orbit, and limited coverage already available. I don't know if they're using 5g, but this tech is available to the public already.

    The article states that Starlink requires special equipment to access the satellites, and that's just not true.
