Thank you for voicing this opinion. The fact so much of the fediverse is just public just makes it impossible to sell for real identity social media.

Really curious why the community in the fediverse hardly talks about it.

I'm really holding out hope for someone to pickup Futo Circles or something else that's an e2ee replacement for Facebook / Instagram.

This take seems in stark contrast to the overwhelming support he got from all sides of politics in the US.

Plenty of people feel his actions were justified.

Hiring one extra person, for an agency that covers hundreds of millions of people? I'm gonna go out there and say yes, that is reasonable to expect. Sure, uptake is low now, but network effect is responsible for that, now when people are moving from Twitter is the exact time to encourage people to change to something better.

The European Commission has its head on straight, that they are being a first mover on Mastodon, because putting critical communication infrastructure in the hands of a private company is silly long term.

I'm not doubting your reasoning as to why this agency hasn't bothered, but it's not convincing that it's reasonable.

Tony Abbott wouldn't mind

I'd have no problem with them making Bluesky account, but why not both that and spinning up a Mastodon server?

It's just short-sighted

I'm waiting for my ban because they've been handing out some bans for "calls for violence" when people have talked about wishing there was more Luigi's (in stronger language than this). Though depends on the mod.

Lemmy.ml probably isn't my vibe either though, because while I'm way more favourable than the average person in the US or Australia towards China, and while I don't think everyone on Lemmy.ml is a tankie, there is some serious rose tinted glasses being worn by some folk simply because the USSR and China have carried the communist banner.

Ridiculous, given how terribly inequitable Chinese society is. And how they're not exactly models for others to follow. They're in practically the same boat as us now, in this capitalist hellscape. In my case, I'd argue Australia has achieved more socialism than China has (thanks to the union movement, though, that's waning these days...)

I'll probably still move to Lemmy.ml at some point, if and when I'm banned on world 😅 just hope me calling people out when they're engaging in "USA bad therefore China and Russia good" stupidity doesn't get me banned.

I've viewed modlogs from lemmy.ml before, getting banned for being a reactionary is some wild shit. If not having a hard-on just because something claims to be socialist is being a reactionary, then damn

Yes, American propaganda is propaganda, but also: They're both hugely powerful countries. It's a bit naive to view either without healthy scepticism.

Just my perspective from a smaller country. I wish we weren't the US' little bitch (Australia) and think I do view China quite a lot more favourably than the average US or Australian citizen, but I think the first sentence in your meme is the healthy view here with practically any country.

Cookie is type of biscuit in Australia. Milage may vary

More moving parts prone to failure, I would guess

Where's the plumber when you need him

It's for this reason voting machines are a bad idea.

What! Bus schedules on Facebook exclusively? Facebook does not scream "repository of information", that's never, ever, been the purpose of the site.

That sounds awful

The poor font. Forever associated with shitheads

Oh indeed, don't disagree there, we are as in most respects, at the mercy of our corporate overlords

Hey hey, don't know you that those employees just never finished their training /s

They don't control the domain registrar's at least. Yet. (Or at least not de jure)

Windows 8 was pretty bad, but you could at least still use desktop mode just fine with a quick settings fix.

Fucking windows 11 took top, left, and right taskbar from us and then locked all the threads asking for it back, and prevented the registry hack to at least get top taskbar back.

Windows 8 was fine

I'm holding out on my work laptop until they force me to "upgrade"

The dude has responded to nazi accounts agreeing numerous times.

If it walks and talks like a Nazi, it probably thinks of itself as such.
