For users, maybe, not for content creators. They still want to get paid and on the fediverse, the only thing you can rely on right now is people going through the hassle of clicking on a donate button, opening a third party website, logging in there, and following the procedure to donate. On youtube it’s just, users just have to watch videos.

The USA truly has the world by the balls.

Oh, I see. That confused me, but I get it now. My bad.

Sure, the reactionaries would sign something to not federate, but if threads and youtube start federating, you think things are going to stay the same?

I still use Instagram. I will not use Instagram if it had activitypub support.

wat?

Do you understand what the fediverse does? Do you need to login to lemmy.world in order to make a comment with your lemmy.ca account? Do you need to login to mastodon.social to see responses from mastodon.social users?

To elaborate: it’s not about gaining the users from the fediverse: nobody give a shit about us. It’s about taking away users from other big platforms.

Imagine if MKBHD realised he could do all his media relations from a single account. He could post a promotional picture (or video) on his youtube account and have it be visible on instagram, threads, twitter, tiktok, etc. . Comments from tiktok accounts would show up on the youtube video to youtube users on youtube.

Or a tiktok user uploading their short videos would have them show up on youtube shorts and insta (/threads) at the same time. Again, engagement from any platform would show up on one single account.

That’s not the danger, the danger is there being even less incentive to move to opensource alternatives. If you can have one account on e.g youtube with which you can talk to people on threads, send pictures to insta, and receive comments from everywhere, why move?

Stop asking Black people for evidence of the anti-Blackness. Believe them: it’s real. If you want to see specific examples, do the work yourself to find them rather than asking Black people to do it for you.

IMO examples are exactly what should be provided on this page. The page would be much better if it were just 3-4 headings that looked like

Also, why limit it to “blackness”. What in the world is “blackness”? Sounds like black royalty “Your Blackness, how may I be of help today?”.

Anyway, I’m not sure what prompted this, which is exactly why I ask for examples. I quit reddit (never was on twitter) during the exodus and honestly, the biggest change I’d like is for USAmericans to get their own instance where they can talk about their problems. Black US Americans deal with very different things than Africans and Europeans with African descent.

I was in a sport team for a while and they hadn’t been treating me well for a while. One day, I slipped and fell during training. Instead of somebody helping me up, the majority of the team laughed at me. Something in my mind snapped that day and it nearly led to my first ever physical altercation. However, my punch just turned into a feint with the thought “fuck this, I’m out”.

That was the day I learned not to let things boil until they explode. Put me into any salad and I’m not the calmest cucumber, but I have never let things get that close again and always speak up or just straight up leave before getting too heated. Life’s just too short to stay in a bad situation you can get out of.

I understand the username now. That’s rough. Good luck to you in your future.

What do you mean by “acceptable”. People accepted a lot more?

Probably weren’t public by then.

This is what drives people to piracy. Then they whine about how pirates cost them money.

When on the fediverse, there’s a good chance someone will tell you to install linux. With this sort of question, honestly I guess there’s no way of knowing how much access they have if you logged on with your work account on your personal computer. IMO, you shouldn’t be using your personal computer for work stuff unless they are somehow separated. I have no idea how to do that with software, so the easiest is to ask my job to provide a laptop and only use that laptop for work.

I avoid Amazon. Deleted my account years ago. They treat their workers like shit, don’t pay their taxes, extract wealth and send it overseas, pollute like there’s no tomorrow, but most importantly, Jeff Bezos is not a nice man.

My shopping happens mostly online, at farmers markets and local stores.

People should @ Kamala Harris’ staff to move to mastodon as twitter is rate limiting follows to her account.

If Nazis made a great product, would you start supporting Nazis?

Because what you see on your screen is new. I bet you if you did some new shit IRL, it would be more impressive than on a screen. Dude, go sky-diving, racing, diving, kayaking, snowboarding, surfing, rock climbing, or play an intense game that physically wears you out. Travel to some place with a great view in the morning to see the sunrise and nice place to see the sunset. Go see the northern lights and tell me that’s mundane.

I love screens too because they let us see different worlds and even the impossible - inside of a star, quantum realms, spaceships, life as ant, other worlds, species, and a bunch of other shit, but if you see it all the time, that’ll be mundane too. I fell asleep to Dune, bro. Blockbusters with special effects send me to sleep because I’ve seen that shit thousands of times. Just got used to it. Probably that’s what happened to you.
