off topic but I'd like to see federated imageboards, or a nostr imageboard

 

Definitely a sign the Fediverse has longevity problems

I am careful what I comment so they either very manually singled me out or I got caught on an automated banner for downvotes (I ended up downvoting a lot since there were such frequent bad takes and posts) are my guesses

Lemmyworld, with its ban of pirating communities, petty bans of random users, frequent downtime, CSAM attacks and new registration restrictions... I wonder which lemmy will overtake it with users since it has proven to be unreliable

Play Store, which I’m avoiding

same

also I read amythest's privacy report and they send data to google it sounds like lol

The app may collect a per-device token, your public key, and a preferred Relay to connect to and provide push notification services through Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging.

is that anything or a nothingburger

lol good point but it is just one of the currently stickied posts

tfw donky.social registrations still not open (or are they)

yeah an explodingheads matrix might be nice

rand seems forgettable to me

I like some of the ancap ideas of murray rothbard instead, if we're going to discuss jewish libertarians

> I mean, we are the melting pot of the world, and that’s what makes us strong is our diversity

One widely shared post from a blue-checked account full of racist posts reads, “Such a let down. Did he sell out already to the rich men north of Richmond?” Another account called @Black_Pilled, whose bio indicates that it had recently been unbanned when Twitter welcomed white nationalists back to the platform, shared the clip with the caption “Promoted algorithm boosted ‘based’ red beard hillbilly song guy was faking his accent and says diversity is our strength.” Another tweet complains, “Oliver Anthony is now openly calling America a (((melting pot))) and saying diversity is our strength. Using the voice of the downtrodden white working class to smuggle this message is one of the most despicable antiwhite psyops ever.”

sounds likely manufactured or bought off, Twitter isn't fooled LOL

in the other stickied post they also mentioned having bot problems and suspending registrations over it: https://lemmy.world/post/3995057?scrollToComments=true

well for example lemmyworld is being attacked by CSAM right now, so like mob and kapow wanted to try to back off having to mod stuff like this, they want Nostr to structurally fix some of the problems of having to be a "benevolent dictator admin"

short and sweet

upwards and onwards

> kaboom

> kapow

Lyrics:

https://genius.com/Oliver-anthony-rich-men-north-of-richmond-lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day Overtime hours for bulls*** pay So I can sit out here and waste my life away Drag back home and drown my troubles away

[Pre-Chorus] It's a damn shame what the world's gotten to For people like me and people like you Wish I could just wake up and it not be true But it is, oh, it is

[Chorus] Livin' in the new world With an old soul These rich men north of Richmond Lord knows they all just wanna have total control Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do And they don't think you know, but I know that you do 'Cause your dollar ain't s*** and it's taxed to no end 'Cause of rich men north of Richmond

[Verse 2] I wish politicians would look out for miners And not just minors on an island somewhere Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothin' to eat And the obese milkin' welfare

[Verse 3] Well, God, if you're five-foot-three and you're three-hundred pounds Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds Young men are puttin' themselves six feet in the ground 'Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin' them down

[Pre-Chorus] Lord, it's a damn shame what the world's gotten to For people like me and people like you Wish I could just wake up and it not be true But it is, oh, it is

[Chorus] Livin' in the new world With an old soul These rich men north of Richmond Lord knows they all just wanna have total control Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do And they don't think you know, but I know that you do 'Cause your dollar ain't s*** and it's taxed to no end 'Cause of rich men north of Richmond

[Outro] I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day Overtime hours for bulls*** pay

Exploding Heads Migration Paths (exploding-heads.com)

Official EH: Exploding Heads address on Nostr is npub1qprptnnuwnqc6h6wxc2q07rfwcmj7cfc6g4r5dgnlkxaysmpr0mqc5365p

via the sticky: https://exploding-heads.com/post/765290?scrollToComments=true

Nostr migration will gain most or many of us as in the post

Gab freeforum: https://gab.com/groups/72118

Freeforum is on scored but kinda inactive: https://scored.co/c/freeforum

(edit: I feel Scored is kind of dead as it's not federated, but it would be good to get people from there to Nostr temporarily)

ExplodingHeads backup Scored community (?): https://scored.co/c/explodingheads

We can migrate to other Lemmy or Kbin instances (recommended ones?)

Any other forums to check out from the Reddit Alternatives sticky?https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1467a5s/find_alternatives_for_ourselves_megathread_third/
