Yeah he apparently started making a statement to the press and only got about 5 words in before freezing and going blank, a classic show of senility.

Now say it again but replace crytpocurrecy with Website aggregation. Its honestly not that different from leaving the big centralized reddit for the Fediverse… only to mostly end up in a few relatively huge alternatives in the name of decentralizing. Its just… human nature.
Clarification: the protocol is ActivityPub.
Lemmy is open source software built on the protocol. (Kbin and others are different sofware but also built on Activity Pub)
Instances, Lemmy.world, and Sh.itjust.works are clones of Lemmy running independently but federated.
The beauty is it doesn’t matter too much. I’m seeing and replying to this from a kbin instance of this post, you see.
Whever anyone asks what the internet used to be like I send them to a little old site called www.homestarrunner.com It’s still up after all these years. Truly beautiful.
/r/gifs currently is following suit! If you still have a reddit account go vote ASAP! (Also unsubscribe from all your “business as usual” subs as possible, immediately, if you can’t delete your account immediately for whatever reason)
Except… that’s not what they say anywhere. In fact they wrote three nuanced essays that explain in detail their philosophy, and lay out that you CAN be critical of something (i.e. feminism) in a nice way that acknowledges your humanity and the humanity of others, and that if Feminists come in and flame you over it, THOSE are the people who will be getting warnings and bans. They want a mature community that fosters mutual understanding when disagreements arise. So when someone says “feminism bad” like they have a 26 character limit that doesn’t exist, they see it not as disagreement but as disrespect.
Some reddit mods have turned their unpaid volunteer janitor gig on Reddit into a business without redditors realizing. For ex. Onlyfans was started by mods in NSFW subreddits who used reddit up votes to decide which models to recruit models who in turn would bring horny traffic over.
So it took some scrolling because search maybe isn’t optimized yet. But now I’m looking at your beehaw comment on a beehaw post that I’m viewing on kbin from a kbin account. Yet I think you’ll see this reply on Beehaw.
Lol, I can’t believe what I’m reading. Reddit admitting to the mod community that they have a duty to keep spaces “accessible to users.” They’ve had 20 years to keep their spaces accessible to people who require screen readers and so on. It’s been crickets until this week.
At first I thought you could only have one federated account because beehaw registrstion page wouldnt process but I think they’ve just been flooded with requests.
You are extremely charitable my friend but Indonesia is not going to stop being Indonesia for Elon, so yes this is Musk’s strategic error. You don’t abrubtly change your entire multibillion dollar brand without doing some due diligence on the implications it will have. Or maybe he truly is deranged enough to believe he doesn’t need customers in 4th most populous country to run a successful social media site.
