Maybe these people need to feel the cycle first hand a few more times and that’s okay. ActivityPub will be even stronger when it comes around again.

At least maybe some more regular people will learn about decentralization (and alternative ways there) from this mass adoption?

is also decentralized and is federated, meaning it is moving toward a future where users “own” their audiences and can port them elsewhere (you can, and many do, argue about the details here, and about the differences between ActivityPub, which Mastodon uses, and the AT Protocol, which Bluesky uses).

Best coverage yet for that alone

Not all Muslims are extremists.

Edit: who tf would downvote this statement?

A therapist

Pretty sure we’re in that

Agreed, but it’s still a good watch. . He has a relevant degree (sociology?) and was a social worker for a while so his perspective is still worthwhile.

It’s a killer feature imo but microblog services in general aren’t really my thing

Fay was arrested for stealing road signs and vandalizing 18 cars over a ten-day period in September 1993.

Cars? Wtf man.

I mean like on Bluesky you can make feeds such as this one someone made that features posts linking to free gift articles.

Does Mastadon have customizable/sharable feeds?

Maybe there aren’t any heirs. Or they’re across the country, or it doesn’t go with their decor. Etc.

That’s pretty funny. Maybe I’ll check this game out.

That’s in-game money, of course, earned by selling your catch. Not actual human dollars. But it’s still a comically large price tag when compared to the other titles in the game, which generally cost $75.

Michael Geist, Canada research chair in Internet and E-commerce Law at the University of Ottawa, said in a blog post that “banning the company rather than the app may actually make matters worse since the risks associated with the app will remain but the ability to hold the company accountable will be weakened.”

I had the same thought.

A very good point actually

Sure, but on another level yes, nicotine is a problem. It’s super fucking addictive and I hate my dependence on it. And harsher regulation on nicotine products in my area have ironically made it tougher to ween myself off.

I’d love to be wrong about this. But I started smoking at 20, and while I’ve kicked cigarettes for good I couldn’t make quitting nicotine stick.

The point is prohibition doesn’t work. I would prefer no young person ever try cigarettes, or nicotine in any form. But I don’t think that’s realistic.

People who don’t understand how things work.

Or people who benefit from there being more criminals…
