Or simply in a third-world country kept in extreme poverty by global capitalism.

I don’t think so. ActivityPub only fetches content if someone follows you, which you would have to manualy approve.

Look, I hate Meta as much as the next person, but they really don’t have that much leverage over the Fediverse as people are making it seem. It is completely optional to follow their accounts so they have little direct control over people’s feeds, not to mention that their active userbase is quite small. I’d say a better approach is simply restricting interaction by making it opt-in in all ways, just like social.coop.

Threads’ size will unaviodably disrupt the Fediverse if they federate fully, regardless their intentions. I think the appropriate approach is making interaction opt-in, like social.coop does: https://social.coop/@eloquence/111588877096843391

Dude, I know I’m like a week late to the party, but to defend your project by saying that everyone is just browsing incorrectly is not a very good look.

I find !technology@beehaw.org quite a bit better.

Yeah, I agree. Believe me, I really searched for one without highlighting but to no avail.

Edit:

I know this is 10 years old, but it’s the best source I could find. It seems as though it is unclear whether this was intentional: https://cosmosmagazine.com/science/mathematics/naughty-numbers-in-the-news/?amp=1

It is still not clear whether the classic, “‘We hate math,’ say 4 in 10 – a majority of Americans”, was a clever joke or stupidity.

You can add podcasts in a lot of ways. Here’s the add podcast menu:

@AntennaPod@fosstodon.org has everything you might need, is open source and is on Fedi at that!

Although Mastodon plus web client phanpy.social is arguably even more modern. But I encourage supporting smaller projects such as Iceshrimp!

But you’re not in control of the knowledge of the consequences of that.

I don’t dare to click it because I have seen gore twice the last few weeks due to Lemmy, but I kind of want to know what it is.

All these people are under the whims of the shitheads; these sites are intentionally manipulative, so realistically most don’t have a choice. The billionaires, however, do.

Justice is only one (overly simplistic) way of organising humans. It exists to discourage behaviour that harms others, but in my opinion it is way better to encourage people to do things for the better instead. Humans are cooperative creatures and a social order based entirely on tension is extremely unproductive.

And don’t get me wrong, a lot of things in society deserve to be criticised and discouraged. But dealing in absolutes and assigning blame to an entire group of people is almost always overly simplistic and won’t get you anywhere.

Why should anyone be blamed for something over which they have no control?

I have no idea what you’re on about. The fact that all of them did it means nobody did it out of specific stupidity, and that it was just very difficult to see it coming.

Well most suicide attempts fail…
