It's ok. They think they're intelligent, but also think that machibe learning models can't be biased. They have no self-awareness, and are incapable of understanding that they don't know what they're talking about.

Yeah, I ran the physical Beginner's Box last year, and it was really great. We all picked up the system really quickly, even the 10 year olds.
WTF is he thinking?

First you kidnap Theodore, and now you're beating him? You haven't even sent a ransom yet! Just tell us what you want! We just want Teddy back!
So I'm confused, is saying you want the elite to die something the right-wing talking heads are in favour of, or is it beyond the pale? Because they've gotten awfully inconsistent about this one in the past few weeks.
Which one? With the variety of front ends and mobile apps, experiences can be very different
Unfortunately, this basically translates to "if you know the secret handshake, you can make it better". New users don't know the handshake, and more casual users aren't going to bother looking for instructions on how to do it. They already struggle with the idea of there being different URLs.
Which is a significant UI issue, as well. The most popular web servers leveraging ActivityPub continue to ape the visual form of centralized social media, which communicates to users that they work like centralized social media. But they don't. Form follows function, and therefore form implies function. This is a significant source of the friction new users experience.
Remember, most new users are neither broken glass rejectors of some other website, nor are they ideologues. They're just trying something new out, to see if it's better than what they already have.
And the fediverse, point blank, is not. Mastodon is not better at being Twitter than Xitter or Bluesky. Lemmy is not better at being Reddit than Reddit. But they both look like they're trying to be Twitters or Reddits. The result is that this place looks like the wish-dot-com version of the big players.

Power tripping occurs everywhere. The bigger issue is that because the fediverse is trying to pretend it's just like centralized social media, moderation issues can appear a lot different here. For one, they tend to play out much more publicly, because a lot of them occur at the site admin level. For another, the idea of defederation is alien to centralized social media users, and the idea that they could be cut off from the people or communities they follow due to no fault of their own feels incredibly unjust. Even if the reason for defederation is totally understandable, the admins have followed a robust procedure, and alternatives have been tried, it still feels arbitrary to someone who's not involved.
But that's again a concern of significance because everyone wants to make believe this space is just like centralized social media. That the differences are superficial, and not backed into the very core of the experience. It's also, in part, due to the limited range of moderation features currently explored. We mostly still have moderation suites that make the most sense in... wait for it... centralized settings.
Hashtags still only show you posts that are specifically addressed to users on your host site. They just act as a quick-search feature. You need some kind of "actor" to re-address things to people who aren't following the OP in order to get true propagation across the network. This is what guppe groups do, and what Lemmy communities do.
I semi-routinely get food for beggars. Gift cards, even. I don't carry cash, but if someone says they're trying to get enough money for food, I offer to just buy them what they need. They almost always say yes, and, especially in winter, you can tell it means a lot, at least in the moment.
On my first payday, post graduation, I did this for some kid who seemed clean by really skinny. He picked out frozen chicken nuggets, and seemed just so happy and grateful. That's stuck with me.
It's because it was actually a Walz thing, and she sidelined Walz for some reason.
If you don't already have any followers, there is little point in posting anything there.
See, I disagree. This may be true on the large Masto sites, but if you join an interest-first site, then the Local timeline is actually an ansynchronous chatroom filled with people with similar interests.
Fedi microblogs work really well for finding and connecting with people you have comminalities with when using small-to-medium sized sites. Much better than Lemmy, really, where the post content itself is the primary vehicle of interest, rather than the poster. The Reddit model is actually kind of shit for discussion, since it goes the extra mile to depersonalize the posts.
Lemmy is way better for content ingestion, while the microblogs are way better for socializing.
Assuming you're not on Mast.soc, anyway.
No. That's not what they're saying at all.
The NDP is not in government. Trudeau did not form a coalition, he decided to form a single-party cabinet in a hung parliament. This is how this always plays out.If he wanted stability, he could have formed a coalition.
