I have not read the news in a really long time just cause paywalls are annoying as frick.

Let me guess, the streaming services on it will be like DailyWire+, PragerU. What else

I think this is a good move honestly, they want it to be an algo similar to meta which you know is terrible, meta is like mostly dudes saying gen Z men are AWAKE and hate LGBT people and tate clips. They seem to have much less success in the algorithm on tiktok

It's not even about propaganda it's not having it until their thumb, they can't push a button and ensure the top video under trans on every search is Matt Walsh, and yeah on all other major platforms if you search trans people critical of trans people pop up. The reasoning isn't popularity or engagement, the US government has ordered them to do it through backroom tax deals and Slapp orders. Next stop for the US gov is gonna be the fediverse and AT proto, they are gonna argue that not just anyone should be trusted and that running a social media server is a big task. security blah blah children, protecting your data. Than lass a bill require you to obtain an FCC license to host your own social media site. It only gets worse from here folks

I fucking hate them so much honestly. They can't even keep my data safe and they are overcharging me so much lmao.

I mean for them to explain why they think signal sucks

I think you can try to create the group with end to end encryption

Signal is just a messaging app, and worst of all to a ton of people you have to share your phone number, something that is kinda intimate and you might only share it among the closer people in your friend group, even when signal launches usernames unless it builds something around signal it's just another annoying messaging app to keep track of.

as a gen zer myself I would follow it up with WHY? give me a reason WHY. I don't really see a difference between instagram groups and signal groups. I think what it is for most people is some lame app they will download for only that specific purpose. The only reason why iMessage is popular is it's the default. If the EU passed a regulation to force Apple to have a default messager that only supported SMS, and iMessage to be a separate appstore app, or even just an extension for the messages app. it would die within a year. Meta groups are only popular cause they are tired to 2 of the biggest social platform being facebook and instagram.

I love how covid is growing and we are still with this back to the office bullshit.

Not to mention none of this will actually protect children. When I was 14 I told an adult online about my life and they helped me make it through some rougher periods until I got to 18. I know the internet is highly imperfect but I think gate keeping kids out of it will just lead to more underground abuse and abuse that they don't find was abuse until they are adults.

I love how this "sticking it to big tech" is also funded by big tech. The general goal of someone like Facebook with this legislation is pass a bunch of rules that only large companies like them can comply with, and watch mastodon instances and other attempts to detrown them end in FBI raids and more regulations.

Okay so I think we got mixed up, the app I'm talking about doesn't seem to be on play yet. I think its only on fdroid and github. Its a client for misskey

Doesn't auto pilot kinda work on normal roads now? Not saying I trust the stat either.

Damn this would be great for mastodon too! Imagine a plugin that auto flagged images locally, and gave you a heads up. Kinda like what tech companies have but wont freak out if it finds "extremist" content.

Whenever the feds say "protect the children" I know they are lying. This bill is dangerous and a danger to multiple communities. If it passes ID checks will become a thing, and guess what. ID checks will likely use Web Environment Integrity to verify if your OS is "secure" before allowing you to scan your ID. This bill is a fuck you to adults, Linux users, and queer people!

Yeah just kinda sucks all Foss operating systems feel like they are stuck in 2011 in some cases.

I don't trust these numbers, I really don't trust any article that talks about my generation.

Flying cars are danger to everyone, cars and driving suck enough! Please don't let this happen in our skies. What if someone wrecked one into my house and killed me.
