The difference is that rather than just having no expectation of privacy against recording (Reddit model), in federated space you are guaranteed an official subtitled hologram with sound is recorded by design and shipped to other town squares all over the world and shown. And you have no expectation that you'll be able to convince those town squares to delete theirs once they have it and basically no chance to if your own town square is bulldozed or your town has gotten into a feud with theirs since you did your townsquare shouting.

Always keep your mind partially open to new perspectives and do your best to practice intellectual humility.

This is the basis of true intelligence/wisdom.

That tracks so much. The two big I social media paltforms I was involved in were Facebook and Reddit. My distrust in Facebook/Meta is so large, I'm willing to block any fediverse instance that federates with them. And Reddit's only chance to get me back would be to become a trust-managed nonprofit within at most a year (but only if that's how long it would take to implement if they started to go that way within the next few weeks).

Are you saying that these CEOs have it in their contracts that they get a ridiculous amount of money if they fuck up enough to get fired? Doesn't that incentivize them to be reckless?

If you define the number to be the amount of flat surfaces the die can land on and you assume the surface is non-physically smooth, maybe. "maybe" because we can't see the underside, which might be flat.

I've started using Native Alpha in an attempt to have a dedicated app icon for kbin but not add to the constantly growing number of tabs in firefox or duckduckgo. Since it's basically a browser, it doesn't open external links in a different app, and it doesn't have an adblocker, as far as I can tell.

I'll be glad when there's finally a public beta of Artemis for Android so I can switch to that.

Ah, the "if we don't have any vision impaired users anymore, we can save money on implementing accessibility; they won't give us ad revenue anyway" gambit.

My thought exactly as soon as I heard that monster is being "exiled" to Belarus.

Thank you. 🙂

Reddit seemed to actively be going out of their way to make things difficult [for people needing accessibility functions]

I'm sorry, what?
