Wow... do french canadians really believe that learning french is a way to fight back against America?

Just... wow. I knew they were delusional an insecure, but this really puts things into perspective for me.

Glad we could have this conversation.

The US banning tiktok has little to do with race.

It's about American oligarchs wanting the profits of Chinese oligarchs.

People like you are the lowliest of foot-soldiers in this game.

Maybe this whole blogpost is just commenting on what random people said on reddit.

Oh look, that's exactly what it is.

What did the FUD surrounding Tiktok (and Huawei) feel like to you?

But I was told on several lemmy threads that the CCP lets their users consume any content, and all the censorship is American propaganda to make the great leader look bad.

Who is telling you that? I'm not seeing lemmy posts ignoring the great firewall.

Is it federated?

Not sure why we're all excited for the next centralized platform. We should be rolling up our sleeves and figuring out ways to implement decentralized protocols so anyone can their platform.

American here. I would love for us to come up and take over your country.

You piggyback on our military, and I believe any detriments to Canada will be balanced by benefits to America.

There is a lot of hatred towards minorities, but there's also a lot of acceptance of them that would be out of place in most of the world.

America is of the few nations that has to deal with real diversity, so yes.

Gold-digging.

Eh. Most of these people are already wealthy from their parents and were just using their wealth to make more wealth by showcasing how wealthy they are to those who will never be wealthy.

Living vicariously is a plague. I think less of anyone who does it.

It's not really an 'addiction.' It's a culture.

People don't value things that take time or effort anymore. All they want is their instant-gratification to forget about their shitty lives a little bit longer. Short-form video and posts provide this for them.

It's all according to plan to keep people apathetic until the day they die. That way, they never fight back against the people pulling their strings.

I totally agree with you.

We shouldn't be cheering on segregation.

Yeah, it's always a waste of time when an article cites random people on reddit or twitter.

This is fucking stupid.

Our rulers are literally dictating who we can communicate with.

This makes sense. I agree with you.

So is twitter and all the other clones.

That's still not an excuse to go with the centralized option when centralization is what put people in this position.

and the model is much more scalable than ActivityPub.

How so?

They’re opening up the other services to federation as they reach maturity.

Why are they waiting? Why should we trust them?

No, why?

It's dumb because it can't be reliably extrapolated to other instances.

It's perfectly reasonable for someone to think Java and JavaScript are related. It's not reasonable for people to think ham and hamsters are related.

This is a result of badly naming something because the ECMAscript creator wanted to ride the coattails of the 'hot new thing' at the time, which was Java.

For example, people shouldn't immediately doubt whether Godot and GodotScipt are related because Java and Javascript are not. Your hamster analogy falls apart here because it only describes an exception, not a rule.
