sigh Based Lemmy devs having yet another big W. Wish my instance did the same

I hope they’re accepting new members, last I knew about it they were already very loaded with new users.

@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

By loaded I meant with servers full, don’t know if it came across correctly. 😅 They’re smaller than lemmy.world though

The fact I can still understand all it infuriates me.

I found my spouse through a dating app, but we matched up really well since neither of us like this kind of shitty small talk.

If I were that lady I’d boot the hell outta that dude, such a prick.

It doesn’t make it less of a crime against good design. Low contrast for reading is bad practice.

People who downvoted this comment can’t take a joke apparently. As a parent I wouldn’t do this irl, but I laughed.

Raon Lee, mostly know for her covers, but her originals are also great. Next one below!

This reminded me of the good old days of Jon Lajoie. Different kind of musical humor, but somewhat similar vibes.

Holy shit that’s a banger. Thank you!

@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

My musical taste is cringe and my spouse has known it since we started dating years ago. Never felt the need to hide it from them. Good partners can respect each other’s preferences, so there’s zero need to hide what you enjoy.

I listened to it a LOT in my teens. They’re amazing.

Hybrid - bri’ish breakbeat band. Really really good for people who like a darker (as in moody) sounding electronic music.

Images we can feel. It hurts to look, ffs

Some good-faith questions of some seemingly apparent benefits of a potential Corporate Fediverse, and the detriments of defederating from a Corporate Fediverse. Could I get some answers?

Hey guys. I admittedly am mostly a layman to the Fediverse as a concept. So I am coming into this post with the knowledge that I don’t understand the technical intricacies of it....

Marxine ,
@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

With all due respect, you (and your account) sound too much like astroturf material. The primary business of Meta is influencing public opinion, and that’s the biggest danger it poses to any group.

If you’d like to invite the company that has collaborated with Rohingya’s genocide, feel free to do so. I’d never be able to do so and sleep well at night.

I won’t further engage past this comment our of respect for my own time and for your ability to comprehend my points.

Marxine ,
@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

Bravo. This goes straight to the main goal of Meta: they want us exposed to their manipulation, their astroturfed content and their psychological traps. They want our attention to their content, and the best defense we can have is negating them from having any of it.

Marxine ,
@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

Eugen is either naive or is in cohorts with Meta. As a tech worker, I know firsthand how foolish can techbros be. He.probably thinks he can “negotiate an advantageous position” with Meta.

Marxine ,
@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

But it can be a replacement with original content. Even if they have the same topics, it’s beneficial to let each community grow their own culture.

Marxine ,
@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

They’ve probably served as “consultants” at the bare minimum though

@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

As much as I’d love to see billionaires dragging each other through the mud and kicking each other’s heads, I’m not that optimistic.

That’s why the best option is to lock them in a room and forget the keys.

What will Meta gain from fediversing?

I don’t understand what Meta will gain from participating in the fediverse? Their ultimate goal is to make money of Threads and I just don’t see how encouraging an open federation will help them do it? Even 3Eing the fediverse will not do them much good as they already have sooo much traffic already that killing the...

@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

Same here. Gotta listen to them again

@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

Meta’s biggest business has been the manipulation of public opinion for years now. Their entry in the Fediverse is just their latest attempt at keep doing it. Privacy invasion and targeted ads are just tools that enable it for the former, and finance it for the later.

Marxine ,
@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

“Boo hoo tankies bad, but big corpo run by billionaires who spread misinformation and intentionally act to topple legitimate governments in favor of their fascist agenda are akshually good”

Arguing with people like you (corporate shill) is a waste of time, so I’d rather have fun instead.

Marxine ,
@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

“Someone new” moving in is very different from “monopolistic mega corporation who have intentionally acted to harm users, invade privacy and spread misinformation” moving in.

Big corporations staying out of the Fediverse is the best outcome.

Marxine ,
@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

Lots of devs are foolish/naive, Eugen is just one of many to fit this bill.

Marxine ,
@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

The Wikipedia foundation could be a good player in the fediverse, but they don’t seem too proactive in integrating with us right now.

Marxine ,
@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

Yup, my main concern is being fed stuff Meta wants us to see so they can misinform and manipulate public opinion. I want to never interact with Meta again.

I think people are over reacting to the launch of Threads by Meta

I am actually looking forward to threads taking off. I, as a mastodon user, will be able to follow my friends, celebrities, artists and interact with them when federation is activated. It is hard to get friends on to mastodon. The software is great and is better than Twitter, but the people are not on Mastodon but on Twitter,...

@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

It definitely would have done better. It not necessarily would be the current big thing, but would have way more usage and versatility now.

You could say their IG accounts got tangled with this Thread…

Marxine ,
@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

Yup, it’s totally a dark pattern in use.

About Instagram's "Threads" and people's concerns about privacy

I know that many people are concerned about “Threads” privacy policy and are all screaming “WE WILL BLOCK THREADS”. I honestly can’t see how it’s going to gather any personal information since Lemmy, mastodon etc. doesn’t collect any information at all. Like, how can you gather information about user, if he...

Marxine ,
@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

My main concern isn’t even about privacy, but being exposed to Meta “curated” content. They’ll definitely use the platform to misinform and manipulate public opinion.

Marxine ,
@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

As long as people continue using MS products they’ll be victims to this BS. Switching my family to Linux (Currently Fedora, will later try Debian again) has been a blessing for everyone here.

Marxine ,
@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

They have other ways to gain aside from data collection. Manipulation of public opinion is another possibility.

@fediverse posting this from mastodon. It's amazing if this works!

Mostly Jerboa, but also Thunder and LiftOff. All of them function nicely.

Is it one of those low-color DOS games? Could be Commander Keen by that description.

Mostly the user count at this point, although things have become more stable the last few hours

Longer form content is always more fun for me. Structured topics and conversations are way better to exchange ideas and shitposts.

Nick from The Linux Experiment is there, nice surprise! Gonna give it a try, the videos I saw on the front page seem cool.

Being open source definitely is a plus for Revolt. Gonna give it a good try.

That’s the kind of stuff I was looking for to move to Debian. Thanks a lot!

Yeah, I follow him for his privacy and FOSS content, but some of his takes can be quite… controversial, and those attract some questionable folks.

You kind Sir/Lady/Gentleperson are making the fediverse a better place with this help. Thanks a bunch, gonna definitely ease my attempts at eventually self-hosting!

Marxine ,
@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

I joined to learn, still not self-hosting anything, but I intend to use an 11yo Compaq laptop (i5, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD) as a server while I’m still practicing. I intend to self-host a lemmy instance and a nextcloud server.

Thanks for everything you guys have been sharing I’ve already got some good leads, gonna try out YunoHost for starters
