Imagine two identical with mainstream users. Same number of users, same connectedness of the social graph, same demographics etc.

Social network A only has an algorithmic feed. Social network B only has a chronological people-I-follow feed.

What would the usage numbers look like in comparison? Numbers of posts, numbers of likes/replies/boosts, growth trajectory, etc?

I would expect somebody has done some research on this. Anybody know of any public results?

Online discourse: "You have to convince me to vote for Joe "

Why? I don't like Joe Biden. The idea that anyone has to convince you to fall in love with Joe Biden is as absurd of a assertion as the cult and , that is about

Il faudra bientôt avoir travaillé minimum 8 mois sur une période de 20 mois pour ouvrir des droits aux allocations chômage (contre 6 mois dans les 24 derniers mois). Jusqu'à fin 2019, c'était à peine 4 mois sur 28 mois... Pour les chômeurs de 53 et plus, la période de référence reste à 36 mois mais pour combien de temps? Que la force soit avec nous... https://www.lesechos.fr/economie-france/social/la-reforme-de-lassurance-chomage-dans-la-derniere-ligne-droite-2095778

So this question is part and part story -related and asks you to be very honest, but here goes:

— What do you, personally, think is/are the value(s)/benefit(s) of interacting socially with other humans?

  • Also—if you’re happy to disclose—are you neurodiverse or neurotypical?

for reach appreciated.

Tranquillou, Ambroise Méjean, 20è sur la liste de Valérie Hayer, admet qu'il profite de son chômage (2500 euros par mois) pour faire campagne. "Le choix de ne pas travailler n'est pas pénalisé en France", comme le répètent Macron et ses fidèles. Deux poids, deux mesures. Pour rappel, le papa du candidat est le cousin de l'ancien secrétaire d'Etat Cédric O https://tiktok.com/

Interesting approach. But it's commercial, not decentralized, and is backed by Sam Altman and more Big Tech honchos, so my first reaction is skepticism.

I heard the term "attention farmers" used in context of "haters" trying to spin up #drama with conversations on #social (usually because those get the most likes/reposts). Love that term.

Time is precious, so little I have of it. Focus on productive things and be a barren wasteland for attention farmers.

Dear European based LGBTIQ+ people.. (so basically everybody).

Today I attended an event in organized by @waag @DeGroene @gemeenteamsterdam and the Amsterdam public library called

Featured speaker this time was Euro Member of Parliament @kimvsparrentak who passionately spoke on the need for a more free Internet detached from and more focussed on and real interaction.

When confronted with her presence on X and Insta, and the lack of active presence here on the we promised to help her.

Please help us get a decent follower-base here and follow her account right now, before she even gets a chance to get more active. A follower base of more than a 1000 people will surely help her convince her party members to spend time and money on a real presence here.

I used a cut out of the image posted by @sicco in this post: https://todon.nl/@sicco/112372340250592627 thank you for that Sicco.

Just discovered that most of the people I was following over at Bluesky haven't been active there in months, sometimes many months.

I've got a hunch that Bluesky is not going to be the Twitter successor they hope for. 🤔

There's this platform called Mastodon though… 😉👍

.coop has been discussing whether to disable images on May 16 and October 10 for , as suggested here https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/112275637561897034.

One concern raised about this proposal is that it is symbolic and might not do anything to improve the lives of people with visual impairments.

I would like to hear perspectives from people with visual impairments on whether this kind of action is helpful.

Did you know that was once known as ' Disease'?

The word was first mentioned in 1651 & described as an in 1688.

In 1710, it was claimed that music of Swiss herdsmen & the Guggisberglied (a song), led Swiss soldiers to desert. The singing of the same resulted (allegedly) in capital .

Back in the day, phone numbers used to belong to carriers. So if you switched carriers, you changed phone numbers.

Feels like the same situation with social networks.

If I move to a new social network, all my followers have my "old number".

Imagine if there was a level of indirection (like an Apple ID or an email) that always led to my current social network.

Impossible? Dumb idea? 🤔

Il nostro sogno per il fediverso è un mondo in cui non sia più necessario dover dipendere da social frammentati che non comunicano fra di loro, ma poter comunicare su un'unica grande rete libera e unita. Il fediverso è l'unica grande rete in cui è tutto collegato.
