I really hope you are right. I currently predict some issues with the scalability of the fediverse, maybe due to ignorance. If the majority of people switch their social media to the fediverse, the current volunteer hosted infrastructure will crash. Such infrastructure is not cheap to maintain and donations may dry out at some point. Specially for pixelfed, loops and peertube. The fediverse may run into trouble without easy self-hosting solutions
I was never banned or even warned. Reddit is an American company who is catering to the oligarchy. While before the USA was a seemingly friendly country to other democracies, this is not the case anymore. A majority of their population is either voting for agression or is complicit by inaction. Adding content to USA social media is only increasing their reach. Reddit used to be nice but Lemmy is a better alternative anyway.
I get that Musk is doing all types of tropes. But... what is the source for this newspaper I never heard about before? Is there any evidence for these pressures beyond "Trust me bro, we are the Latin times"?
I also deleted my reddit account. What is happening in that sub?
As a kid, I once killed a fly by squeezing an empty yogurt bottle, propelling the lid of said bottle and squatting the fly on the wall. I did that on purpose and it took some attempts.
I believe it is more refined than that. People in sound mind do not like violence, they want a peaceful and stable life for their families and friends.
If you show violence, you portray a threat. Over time people will be more lenient to surveillance and restriction of freedom in the name of law and order. Look at US people, tolerating torture and widespread vigilance since 11/9. All while still spewing "China bad" or "Putin bad". Why? The ends justify the means.
Let's see if it was a mistake or if the violence is here to stay in Meta apps
Not really, but I found out about lemmy and the Fediverse one week ago. I already told about it to 2 people, maybe if you ask me again in a couple of weeks the answer may be different
