If they make the phones smaller they’ll have to make the ads smaller too. Can’t have that.

“North America” is the name of the continent. It can stay.

I feel like I didn’t really recognize having different “platforms” like Mastodon, PixelFed, etc would give multiple opportunities for the fediverse to make a “first” impression with people.

Corporations have learned long ago the importance of properly identifying your audience, and the Fediverse is not exempt from that rule. Lemmy is the Fediverse version of Reddit and Mastodon is the Fediverse version of Twitter, and just like these two giants could live together with each other and also with Instagram without stepping on each other’s toes, so do their Fediverse versions can live with the Fediverse version of Instagram, PixelFed.

Now we’re just missing a Fediverse version of Facebook.

There are arms dealers on both sides. Anti-adblockers also require development, and I doubt anyone does that for free.

They are won by arms dealers.

Why don’t they just use diamond, the hardest metal?

What does ceding control even mean? Mastodon, just like Lemmy, is federated - each instance has its own governance. It was never controlled by a single person to begin with.

He can cede control of the GitHub repository, I guess, but:

1. That’s giving the controls to the contributors, not the users.
2. The article does not even hint at the existence of source code, and the announcement itself doesn’t talk about changes in that aspect either, so I don’t think that’s what’s happening here.

Why? As long as the host it and moderate it, why does it matter that the platform’s code was created as social media?

Shiri’s Scissor was supposed to be a cautionary tale…

This is still better than the opposite tactic of sending your opponent to google it and when they don’t find anything saying that it’s because they are not trying hard enough.

These are not good boys

Small comfort: they still can’t physically force you like they can with biometrics.

You wouldn’t download a book?

Which is weird, because SovCits are a cargo cult who try to mimic the legal miracles top lawyers sometimes manage to pull off. Musk should be different - he does have access to these top lawyers who do have deep understanding of the law.

Unless Twittex’ lawyers got the same treatment the engineers got?

They’ve decided who their customers are, and it’s not you

Since FF is free - isn’t that a given?
