I mean if a centralized social media is what you want just join threads and cut the chase. The complaint they made, bluesky's federation does not solve. It is only not apparent because they have only one instance right now, similar to threads and Twitter.
Certainly some will say that, and even more would do if your environment is privileged (such as a safe neighborhood in the west or USA). You have to look at aggregate data, not anecdotes.
Unfortunately the US doesn't "lose money" on military conquests. Military spending is a central pillar of US economy. The more of it there is, the better for them. It is why they push for eternal war, and no it's not because of oil, that is secondary.
Does Podman work well when you have multiple rootless containers that you want to communicate securely in a least-privilege configuration (each container only has access to what it needs)? That is the one thing I couldn't figure out how to do well with Podman.
Your complaint is about an unknown instance admin committing a maintenance mistake. Will bluesky's promised federation protect against that? You could join an instance managed by a well funded public entity if you want something that gets close to VC-funding. (which aren't that reliable either. Look how many of these start-up platforms go away)
I'm not really following what's the issue here? Sounds like a wide variety of content that is the perfect medium to find people to follow so you can get a more filtered and curated feed, which mastodon comfortably supports.
I don't know any social media that boasts a decent news feed that you put 0 information into.
Because most people don't exactly want a community-led social platform that respects you and empowers user freedom, even if some say they do.
Bluesky is promising a Twitter-like experience. They promote their ties to the former Twitter, and promise algorithms, dopamine-inducing "reach" and "engagement", paid subscriptions, some degree of centralized control (primarily of the network's infrastructure), and a for-profit VC-funded company, all under the guise of federation. They claim a mastodon-like brand that they are yet to deliver.
I think what you mean is abandoning self hosting right? Because self hosting Bitwarden would have similar issues if you don't take the initiative to update.
You are misrepresenting it. You would still run into this issue. Moderation being separate doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You will still not be able to follow someone your friends follow because your moderation service banned then.
This also suggests the Electoral College no longer favors Republicans, and is somewhere between neutral and actually favoring Democrats again.
I don't agree with this. Republican majority States are still over represented. They just happened to also win the popular vote this time. The scenario of Democrats winning popular vote but not electoral is still more likely than it happening to Republicans
