Thank you for the great advice. We should share this to a maximum of people. We don't want people to get in trouble for violating copyright especially when done accidentally.
We also have a potato-like : word "patate". "Pomme de terre" is déformation of "parmetière" from the name of M.Parmentier who introduce potatoes to the french population.
I don't mind paying for news. I actually does it.
But I do mind being tracked because I read some news. I mind paying for a content whose access will be restricted to me after some random time. I mind not being able access to knowledge payed for by public money especially when I'm trying to further that research in a way that will benefit to society at least as much as it would benefit me.
I wish there was more people on not-so-general communities.
If this means less meme or political posts, it would be for the best. However, more specific communities that are not part of a themed instance have very little activity. If I want to learn about ecology and its science, I know I can find many active communities on slrpnk.net, if I want content that matter to Germans, I can go it feddit.org, jlai.lu the same for Frenchs. But if I want people posting picture of nice looking sticks or find !foraging stories or connect with people doing !origami@feddit.org I know that I have to be patient and that's to bad 'cause if people spend less time commenting US election or some shower thoughts, some people will find time and fun interacting in these communities and many others.
We could mess back. We cannot influence much their userbase but we could make sure to stick to our vocabulary and rename Meta's thing. For example, Thread should be rename MMT (Meta's Microblogging Tool) and Loops, their "communities" Bubbles.
Are they choosing the names on purpose to mess with the fediverse vocabulary? Thread, when they are part of the twittoverse but not the threadiverse and now Loop like the TikTok-like federated social media from PixelFed...
I don't received that much fish phone number, but as much as I receive legitimate call from unknown number (my bank, a friend who changed their list, etc.)
In a similar vein, there is unsolicited calls from call center that dial your number automatically. If you picked up and say "Hello?" they register the sound and connect you with an agent. So I picked up my phone and stay silent every time I got a call from a unknown number. Quite enough that ends up by being hang up after 5 or 10 seconds. Actual people say "hello?" first when we don't.
You don't need to learn about other people calendar but you mentionned about 3 calendars that are very famous and used by a significant portion of the world population. That not something obscure at all. Just something that is not part of your culture and you don't know.
