is also decentralized and is federated, meaning it is moving toward a future where users “own” their audiences and can port them elsewhere (you can, and many do, argue about the details here, and about the differences between ActivityPub, which Mastodon uses, and the AT Protocol, which Bluesky uses).
Best coverage yet for that alone
Not all Muslims are extremists.
Edit: who tf would downvote this statement?
A therapist
Pretty sure we’re in that
Agreed, but it’s still a good watch. . He has a relevant degree (sociology?) and was a social worker for a while so his perspective is still worthwhile.
It’s a killer feature imo but microblog services in general aren’t really my thing
Fay was arrested for stealing road signs and vandalizing 18 cars over a ten-day period in September 1993.
Cars? Wtf man.
I mean like on Bluesky you can make feeds such as this one someone made that features posts linking to free gift articles.
Does Mastadon have customizable/sharable feeds?
Michael Geist, Canada research chair in Internet and E-commerce Law at the University of Ottawa, said in a blog post that “banning the company rather than the app may actually make matters worse since the risks associated with the app will remain but the ability to hold the company accountable will be weakened.”
I had the same thought.
A very good point actually
Sure, but on another level yes, nicotine is a problem. It’s super fucking addictive and I hate my dependence on it. And harsher regulation on nicotine products in my area have ironically made it tougher to ween myself off.
I’d love to be wrong about this. But I started smoking at 20, and while I’ve kicked cigarettes for good I couldn’t make quitting nicotine stick.
This man will be remembered for a long time.
The point is prohibition doesn’t work. I would prefer no young person ever try cigarettes, or nicotine in any form. But I don’t think that’s realistic.
People who don’t understand how things work.
Or people who benefit from there being more criminals…
I was fine with that until I realized Lemmy is relatively young software and breaking changes will come up.
Edit: I cannot view comments on anything posted to local communities
If feels demeaning toward the speaker in some way too.
Among the social media posts is a button that says, “Register To Vote: Tap Here.” Users are then led to the Turning Point Action website, where they’re instructed to fill out a form as if they were registering to vote. But there are clues that this is not an authentic voter registration form—“referred by,” and “referral email,” queries that have nothing to do with voting and a lot to do with data harvesting. Once the form is filled out, a new window opens announcing, “Wait! One more step! Confirm your state to register to vote online.” That’s when users click a state and are redirected to a government website where they can legitimately register to vote.
How dirty. That should be illegal.
“It’s terrible, ain’t it?” he said of this year’s election. But after his second cigarette, he confessed that he “might of” voted for Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, and hinted that he might vote for Harris, too.
No he didn’t. He said might’ve. Might have. Unless the man was asked to transcribe as he spoke.
At least maybe some more regular people will learn about decentralization (and alternative ways there) from this mass adoption?
