  • Beehaw has pretty good conversation. I enjoy my discussions on their communities. It also has an extremely low bar for defederation – it’s defederated with even lemmy.world. I don’t like that, would not use that as my home instance.

    Haha that's an instance I haven't heard about in a while... I personally blocked it because I want to talk to everyone on lemmy, not just half the population when I have a conversation on lemmy I don't want to respond to a post that less than half the lemmy population can see, and they've defederated from the largest instances.

    And i guess that's the good thing about the lemmyverse - you decide what level of control you want.

  • to be fair the protesters aren’t really helping their own cause.

    the last wave of social protests were maybe 5-10 years ago on sexual assault, and back then protesters knew to keep to public spaces. if you demonstrate on the sidewalk or organise a march you’re exercising freedom of speech.

    but the new wave of protest organizers didn’t get the memo or something. when you do shit like block off a highway or occupy a privately-held building, you’re fighting on others’ terms. You annoy the heck out of the public, create ill-will, and give law enforcement the excuse of removing you for trespassing.

    the fact that guns were fired (along with the fact that so many policemen showed up) is crazy, but removing these protesters was the right move.

  • first of all, you lost me when you pointed to reddit.

    second, they protested not just within the office, but in the personal office of one of the higher-ups. If you blockaded your CTO's office as a means of protesting world hunger, I don't think that would go well for you either.

  • I don't think peertube will succeed in scaling because video streaming and transcoding takes so much more resources to run than lemmy, and I can't see volunteers doing this for nothing in return in the long run.

    Tens of thousands of lemmy users can be hosted on hundreds of dollars per month; I bet it's 10x more for peertube.
