Bumped into an interesting thread on dev.lemmy.ml/post/37822 about the ethics of using invidious vs. peertube. I've used invidious extensively hiostircally. However, I take the point that supporting an alternative video sharing/content creator model removes ethical concerns about tools like invidious. The content just isn't as good :/ That said, going to donate to peertube to support the future ✊ joinpeertube.org/roadmap #peertube #youtube #invidious

cursing, lots of it. 

There are 72 fucking apps from Samsung on my phone that I cannot remove. About 60 of those fucking apps are either duplicates of something I use a third-party app for or simply something I don't want to fucking use like Facebook or TikTok.

WHY ARE THESE ON MY PHONE? Samsung fuck, goddamn shit fuck.

@Grandtheftautism @vetharvester I learned no cursive only italics with connected letters. It was an obvious regression apparent even to me as kindergartener.
Do you know how to read/write cursive writing?

The amount of damage GitHub has done to development literacy in the general population is fucking awful

Welcome to "the club".
Anybody that critically thinks is a "racist" according to Mastodon and Twitter.
It's similar to how anything that works against Bejing's power-grabs is "racist" when anyone but China's government does it.
I swear that the world's populated by kids.

@realcaseyrollins Just found out after some digging that your mstdn.social account is taken down.

Is feddit.social safe? Since it's run by that same stux guy. I'm trying to find a instance that's pro-freespeech but not too extremist

Though it's important I've always wanted an instance that's general and something I could say to my friends. is a name I can write off as a gaming-focused instance, but many would probably already yikes at a site named Free Speech E X T R E M I S T, and same (albeit for different reasons) for intentionally niche instances like smugloli, blobcat, absturztau and everything else recommended on that website that led me to this.

I guess this really just runs to the point of why the won't gain mass adoption without a single instance dominating and succeeding on its own - it's completely contradictory. Even is giants-controlled, with literally all but a few of my classmates on !

So I was wrong about my first impressions - it's not a 'lite' version of and my other account can access this mastodon FE that I prefer with just a single click. That's cool - Mastodon is just a way to get people into the but I want to dissociate eventually from those anti-freespeech censors

Why the Fediverse is significant, beside privacy 

Because big corporations are not forever.

Say about them what you will, but there IS a value in social media, they do satisfy the need, they do scratch that ancient itch of human beings to hear each other and be heard. They do it quite perversely, as a side-effect to filling their shareholders' pockets, but still, as a matter of fact.

The corporations though, do close down for all kinds of reasons.

There was a time before Twitter. Someday Facebook will disappear. Someday, YouTube will go dark.

The Fediverse, in this sense, is a toolkit, that will allow people to rebuild the Internet as we know and love it today in the future, when most companies have gone extinct.

The Internet is not a thing that "just is", it's "what people do". The Fediverse recognizes and embraces this fluid, dynamic nature: every now and then there's new servers that pop up and old that ones go down. It's not really a big deal around here. And it's... beautiful?

I hate that Parler is being pushed as the alternative to twitter. People need to get on that decentralized train!

trump somehow forgot that the supreme court has already ruled that flag burning is constitutionally protected free speech

"but muh soldiers died for that flag"

and they died for fucking nothing if you aren't free to burn it.
