I hijack the post to ask for a telegram client suggestions?
It’s not the freedom of federating. It’s the freedom of being outside corpo.
It’s the point of “majority of”. It doesn’t include all of them.
Historically, we experienced the last 50 years disregulation. We should not confuse disregulation and regulation. What is also the point of “majority of”. It only include the regulations.
Yeah, as the majority of the time, regulations work!
Each big company should open its own app store in the EU making the use of iPhone impossible there. People will switch to Android pretty quickly.
If people want Facebook, they need to install the meta store and then install Facebook. A Google product? Install the Google store and then the app. Want Spotify? Install the Spotify store and then Spotify. TikTok? TikTok store and then TikTok…
Think AI as the new tool to make money quickly after crypto, NFT, etc.
A good implementation would be a warning at the creation of a community. Lemmy looks if a community already exist on the instances and display them. It would be on top of a better search.
People invested in Ponzi scheme as they thought it wasn’t a scam. The same for crypto.
Was ZDNet once a good source for news?
It’s a similar situation as with the unions. We can all manage to have a pay rise by ourselves. Or, we unionize and ask together for the pay rise.
Defederating the instance is like unionizing. We all go forward instead of individually to have weight. This weight is in form of killing asap the federating attempt, as threads.net users will have nothing to see in the Fediverse. If you let each user manage the situation, threads.net can do whatever they want. There is no individual responsibility in this case. We have to play collectively.
We need to play collectively because the Fediverse isn’t one monolithic network, unlike Meta. It’s a federated network. It’s each instance and Meta. This is why unionizing is important. It’s the Fediverse and Meta. This is the magic of activity pub. You can let others use the protocol but say no to the interaction with them.
The second aspect is that Meta is relying on “cognitive capitalism”. Meta will use free cognitive time from the Fediverse to capitalize. This has huge implication on mental health and all kind of minorities relying on the Fediverse for various reasons. We can say all together no to this, what isn’t possible individually. I recommend the book “The Soul at Work From Alienation to Autonomy” by Franco “Bifo” Berardi. It’s a good book to understand the issue with Meta and others.
You’re playing the classic “it’s the individual responsability” game. It’s how you deregulate everything and the consumer losses every right.
We have to acknowledge that we have systemic or/and societal issues. This is a systemic issues so a common thing.
What’s your phone maker? I don’t have this issue with this amount of ram using custom ROM.
Absolutely no problem!
By chance, the instances (for or protecting minorities) I’m on are all defederated of threads.
It could be the lack of RAM. I had a smartphone with 3Go of RAM and it was a nightmare to keep things open.
For mastodon if it can help:
Open your favorite text editor and write threads.net
Save it as csv
On your profile on Mastodon, click “edit profile” and scroll to “import/export”.
Choose “import”, it will open a menu.
In this menu be sure to click on “Following list” and choose “Domain blocking list”.
Browse and select your CSV
Click upload
Longer user know about it. It’s good to post it time to time (as a reminder or not) so people know about it.
Infinity grow is a mirage. We need to understand that. It’s fine if a social media as a limit.
What’s important is how you manage to keep it in life. Even here, you have a limit. It’s conservative to think that it will last for ever as you will encontre the same issue as with infinite grow.
The fact is that thing appear, have a lifespan and die. Social media aren’t immune to it.
You can configure newpipe to download in the youtube music revanced app.
