  • There's no lack of dead sports communities around. Turning them into dead sport bot communities doesn't sound like it would help. Sports fans aren't going to show up for that.

    Going through the effort of manually posting screenshots in the sports communities would go way farther than getting a bot to cross post.

  • It’s important to separate the provincial NDP from the federal NDP. They each have their faults, but they’re different faults, and we shouldn’t blame the provincial parties for things Singh has done, and we shouldn’t blame Singh for things provincial NDP parties have done.

    I mean, they're the same party. Literally. They have different entities within them focused on different geographical regions, but your provincial and federal NDP memberships are one and the same thing.

  • I cannot express enough how much this works for the Liberals. Trump continuing to rattle his sabre at us through the Liberal leadership campaign and inevitable general election is basically a gift to Trudeau, his successor, and his party.

    If Trump wants to keep bloviating until PP's electoral chances are dead and gone, I don't think JT's going to do anything to get in his way.

  • Also from that post.

    There is no such thing as liberalism — or progressivism, etc.

    There is only conservatism. No other political philosophy actually exists; by the political analogue of Gresham’s Law, conservatism has driven every other idea out of circulation.

    There might be, and should be, anti-conservatism; but it does not yet exist.

  • Yup. Really don't get the constant drumming of "I want to use someone else's website or server while pretending it's a secure platform". Peer-to-peer coms have been around for literal generations now. If you actually care about privacy, e2ee p2p is what you do.

    Security runs opposite to convenience.

  • Strongly disagree. This is just recreating what already exists, using a technology that's actually not great for it. Each website's connections should in some way resemble what that website is tailored to. And we don't need a network of websites that are tailored to "looking exactly like every other website, because we couldn't be arsed to pick a niche".

  • It's not nearly a small enough segment, really. It's a fairly significant fraction of the pre-2022 population.

    They were excited to see people show up after Musk bought Twitter, but it was a very "now you'll have to play by OUR rules!" kind of excitement.

  • The fediverse is "the internet". Like, in conception, it's taking everything that's publicly available on the internet and making it auto-mirrorable-at-request.

    So yes, on some fundamental level, it's a shit show. Because the internet is the worst of us.

  • I like the theory that Tesla had a long term roadmap before Elon scooped it up, and that he wasn't able to do too much to disrupt that in the early years because he was focused on LARPing as Tony Stark on the Internet, and the team that developed around him to insulate the company from him were reasonably good at their jobs. But even the best can only hold back so few bad ideas while keeping up the illusion, and the result has been gradually diminishing amount of ass.

    Until that roadmap ran out, and/or Elon stopped being distracted, resulting in them designing and building the Elon.

  • Trump cannot commit a coup, because he is already the head of state. Military coups occur when military generals step in to illegally claim the abilities of the head of state (or government) from someone else who had them legally.
