@coolboymew @jeff@pl.i2p.rocks @SeanWalker Now that I think about it. It's really just the modern evolution of postcards, but now you have unlimited paper and instant delivery, so you are going to have people broadcasting every moment of their lives.

And naturally when you have everyone broadcasting everything that's on their minds, politics starts to slip in and now these sites are nothing but heated arguments and virtue signaling even though they were never designed for that.

@coolboymew @jeff@pl.i2p.rocks @SeanWalker Going to a local restaurant for the first time, watching a movie, something you saw on your walk. I think a better way to say is that it's supposed to be a journal that you write throughout the day as opposed to at the end of the day.

@coolboymew @jeff@pl.i2p.rocks @SeanWalker Microblogging sites aren't really meant for conversations. They're more for broadcasting the highlights of your day.

In his era, Martin Luther King was subversive and a threat to the establishment.

The FBI thought he was a terrorist.

In other words, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube would have banned him if they existed in the 1960s.

@Moon Never used SSH actually. I think what would be cool is if a fedi instance could have a post via SMS like what Twitter has (or used to have), but I don't know how that could be implemented.

@Moon I really don't see the point either. It just seems like a useless gimmick for those who are nostalgic for that kind of stuff.

@beardalaxy @matrix Me too. I don't like being lumped with Fortnite dancing iPhone zombies.

@coolboymew They're actually not private companies because they take US subsidies.

making it big in the music industry then: do lots of local shows, get the attention of someone important, they sign you to a label

making it big in the music industry now: super-rich execs pick one of their MKultra victims and have them lip-sync about MUH DIK

@ooignignoktoo @coolboymew @mangeurdenuage This is the same Great Reset shit the World Economic Forum is pushing.

Apparently questioning the mainstream media narrative of the Capitol riot in any way is now "white nationalist rhetoric" that is "repeating debunked theories about the insurrection." Like it was a historical event that happened 100 years ago that historians of every stripe have already pored over to come to a unanimous conclusion, instead of something that occurred earlier this month which is still under investigation!

When things like this happen, it's no longer "politics" as we commonly understand it. There is no give and take, no deals or compromises, nothing even resembling representative democracy. It is pure domination, crushing the opposition under your heel and calling for every last one who might be a serious power contender to be arrested. No more illusion of freedom, it is now too expensive to maintain, and the Marxian progression of mankind moves ever onward.

@milo @mono TG and AVGN are the last remaining remnants of early (good) Youtube.

And I don't really love either of them. They just make me long for a better time.
