  • Also, almost all VTubers are neurodivergent, the rest are trying to act if they were like that.

  • Don't forget to make it ActivityPub compatible!

  • A lot of creators are thinking like that unfortunately. A lot of leftist YouTubers instead are banking on BlueSky rather than the Fediverse, to the point they sometimes hold giveaways for BlueSky invites, which wouldn't be a bad thing, if they did mention Mastodon, etc.

  • No, it's mostly a different thing.

    VTuber means Virtual YouTuber. However, some VTubers are like that. The best among them are like Suris, who makes commentary videos on politics, religion, etc. And then there's those, who just watch a selection of YouTube, TikTok, etc. videos for funzies, with VShojo (a VTuber talent agency) being a bit infamous for that.

  • It's comfort. I know content creators, artists, etc., who don't want to touch the Fediverse, yet whine about Twitter (and Facebook, and Instagram) all day long. Some cry about techbros on the Fediverse, yet pay the blue checkmark tax. As well as supposed bad moderation, etc.

    Centralized social media platforms put everyone at one place without having to register an account every place you want to interact with people. This however put enormous power into their hands. The Fediverse solves the "but I have to register every place" issue with federation, while the only power-imbalance might be from bigger, more desired federations could dictate rules to the less desired ones.

  • "Everything ends, not with a bang, but with a whimper."

    I understand it would have been funny if from one day to another, the site just stopped working, it'll be just go failing for a while. Some rouge states might try to bail it out.

    Twitter's only hope is that NSDAP-style parties will use literal death squads to win the culture war, which it tries to bank it on.

  • Edge isn't as bad nowadays, and it's not much more of a spyware than Google Chrome, the meme browser.

  • If you knew how big of an overlap between Zionism and Antisemitism there is...

    "The answer to the Jewish question is Israel" - wrote a Hungarian far-right blog around 2008-2009. It was an unpopular opinion back then, as Jobbik was a literal Islamophile party, because killing LGBT people and death penalty to robbers, but nowadays it's a popular sentiment among fascist pretending to be "moderates" by calling themselves "conservatives". Even Jobbik isn't that radical anymore, especially compared to both Fidesz (which stole their racist and homophobic ideas, but watered them down) and Mi HazƔnk (formed by ex-Jobbik members, has suspicious ties to Fidesz).

  • I was diagnosed with autism, so I know.

  • "They just want to avoid a color revolution, also something something different cultures, something something taking their appropriation of anti-imperialist talking points at face value."

  • Not anymore for me. I notice patterns in things much earlier than others, so it's like if I seen the same joke for the 1000th time even though it's like just the 100th with this one.

  • Chilis peppers are also fruit, and there's smoothie of them.

  • Boomer humor, but tech.

  • Any more modern game suggestion for such purpose?

  • Or wants to shoot protesters as a bloodsport, so he can fake cry on court, then start his republican career.

  • It's one thing if you accidentally spilled info on personal stuff you didn't want to reveal, and it's another that you pretend you don't have the terminal horniness to try to please the haters (which you can't the moment someone leaks a private stream), and to lie to both yourself and the fans (many of which actually liked that fact about you).

  • Yeah, pretty much.

  • Cannot really tell you it since it was in private streams (especially not on a public forum), and she's pretty infamous for changing narrative around herself, then going full denial regarding the past. Some of which is granted since she did things in the past that are under NDA, others were just trying to please the bullies (which she got more thanks to relatively nonexistent moderation), at the cost of her own sanity.

  • A creator I follow: "Twitter is becoming worse and worse by the day!"

    Me: "Come to Mastodon!"

    ACIF: "No, that is full of techbros, and which instance do I even choose?"

    (At least it's not as bad as a former favorite VTuber, who after early criticisms of the Twitter takeover and Elon's personality, decided to "grow up" and like the "person who's saving the world" (Musk is now a climate change denialist, and I think he's just a deregulation promise away from announcing the petrol engine Teslas.))
