I stopped using women’s antiperspirants because the scents would make my armpits break out in hives and it wouldn’t stop my ungodly sweat. I use some kind of old spice that’s a gel stick. Can’t remember the exact scent lol. It works great, especially for underboob sweat. The smell isn’t bad either. 10/10 would recommend for women who are super sweaty like me
I think that news organisations should create their own distribution instances. The BBC has started to set up their own Mastodon server. I would definitely prefer to be able to create my own news feed, direct from source, and selected for greater criteria than how many rage clicks a headline is likely to garner.
There are considerations.
Corporate instances affecting public opinion.
Corporate opinion silencing/moderating public opinion.
All that, and user moderation as well.
A company may not like legitimate dissenters, but it might be in the public interest…
Unmoderated, it might turn into a cesspool.
So, who moderates it? AI/AutoMod? And how? What algo? Does that retroactively apply on updates?
This happens on actual company forums. Yes.
So, we need 2 lemmy communities per company? Their one, and a public one? What if the public one is being unfair? Who knows about that?
Anything that gains too much steam and mainstream attention is ripe for corporate takeover/infiltration. Federation should hopefully keep them at bay for a while.
At least this platform has some sort of natural resistance against enshittification, given that no one party can completely dominate the platform without immediately getting squashed by the collective.
I use benzoyl peroxide facewash in my pits when I shower. I never smell like BO or anything else.
Those brightly colored tubes of marketing they sell in the deodorant aisle probably don’t do what you think they do. This is because the mega conglomerates that sell this shit don’t care if their product works or not. What they sell you on is shame and poor body image.
I get the different licenses apache Gnu, copy left, copy right. I’m just not intricately familiar with them. Is there one that exists that could do both?
No, but there are copyleft licenses that require anyone using a fork of some open-source project for for-profit purposes to subsequently open-source any changes they make.
Lemmy is AGPL v3.0. From what I understand, that means anyone running Lemmy (or a fork of Lemmy) needs to make their source code public, even if their code changes are strictly to support their own network infrastructure.
it really doesn’t matter though, as a corporation only needs to implement an interface to Lemmy via ActivityPub protocols; in other words it they could write a completely closed-source backend to use for profit and as long as it can poop out the correct data structures over ActivityPub to allow Lemmy instances to understand it, it will work.
This already happens as we can see and subscribe to kbin magazines, and Mastodon users can be @'d and IIRC can reply to comments via Hoot (or whatever they call it). Kinda wild, but it also leaves the door open to literally whoever.
I think the real interesting question is will a large corporate player be able to maintain a captive userbase? None of the doomsday scenarios play out in their favor unless they can capture users and communities - because then the usefulness of the whole thing rides on their server being available. At that point it’s reddit with more steps - they can do what they want.
Whats a lemmy? Does it taste good? The folks at “Red Dot” said you can find them on the fediverse? Is that like an online market where you get fruits? So lemmy is just a slang for lemons? How many of these “instances”/markets are there? How long does it take to download lemons?
Sorry if these words aren’t clear. The doc said getting high on lemons cause something called “cognitive decline” idk what that’s supposed to mean… smh my head these weird people and their mad scientist looking lab coats… 🍋😮💨
It’s possibly a place or point in time recorded on the Highways, of folks coming to or possibly changing. It’s hard to accept those that haven’t experienced it yet. But, when you see that light in their eyes… don’t be a dick.
Lemmy is an existential concept of social integration in a Web 2.0 forced reality, it’s forged on the ideals of a declining sociological view point, radicalised by the merging of multiple neurological dependencies baked into a form fitting, yet ridged ergonomic palindrome.
