I’m just glad you didn’t say it’s gone because it’s been turned into apartments or a shopping arena…

Thoughts on pinboard's viability?

Been using Marcin’s beautifully created bookmark manager since yahoo killed delicious. It was yahoo that bought it right? I digress. Anyway, I’ve been paying for his service since he mentioned it would be helpful if the old users also contributed BUT the site’s downtime has been rough and unpredictable lately. It’s just...

Thanks for the suggestion!

Ohhh! Another good suggestion. I really appreciate it. Thanks.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. I know the DNC administers the electors* in the college and have always been under the impression they’d not be for RCV, either.

edit: Oh fuck you, whoever is downvoting. Quit being a triggered cunt. I asked a good question, got a good answer, and shared what I know. Nothing I contributed to this thread is downvote worthy unless you’re just a triggerd narrative controlling parasite. Fuuuuck you.

But why would I? If I said I was only under an impression based on their direct management of the electoral college, isn’t it pretty clear I was speaking for myself based on my own opinion? I obviously didn’t state it’s fact.

He’s helping remind us just how much worse the Trump presidency would be.

@asklemmy What do you think it would take for people to drop Twitter & Reddit and move to the Fediverse?

People are “lazy” and only social, today. They want to log in, info dump, and not think.

Before the nadir of social media, when reddit and twitter were coming up, the people online were predominantly young millennials and new tech was exciting. That was a time where netizens were more curious and accepting of online platform learning challenges. In fact, if it was beta or even just more hands on and generally nerdy, that often made the platform more appealing. Then everything became standardized. Mega social media squashed innovative smaller fun projects. Competition got absorbed. And with the mass standardization of the internet came the younger generations who came up just expecting shit to work as they’ve always seen. Streamlined and with an inclusion of 15 minutes of fame. But, in honesty the biggest snooze is the lack of innovation that drove the old internet drives today’s general malaise.

Times are different. People are bored with internet tech and are therefore less curious. My younget gen z and y co-workers glaze over if I even so much as mention irc or playing around with your own web server. Gen y understands but doesn’t care because Twitter and IG governed their highschool experience. Gen z doesn’t understand and are kinda boomer-esque in terms of any software comprehension. I’ve had to teach my interns what Excel even is.

Times are different. Everything has being standardized, monontonized, monitized, predictable, and generally boring. I think the fediverse would have to become mainstream to appeal to the mainstream. And today’s mainstream aren’t interested in new platform learning curves unless there’s something fun, compelling, and of entertainment value to them.

Just my old millennial lady take.

Yea… and I realize how harsh it sounds but like, I put “lazy” in quotes because I don’t think it’s really laziness. Maybe more boredom? The environments’ just been designed to not invite exploration. Everything is just automatic and instant now. Innovation is driven by need. The need has been engineered away, for the most part.

Those still exist at this time.

It’s more like they will miss fully having to rely on the library and their family owning a collection of encyclopedia because no internet.

I am shocked I had to scroll down this far for this one.

It definitely has that Front Page feel. I straight up just blocked .world after they took a pro Meta stand.

They “forgot” what Russia did to Syria fairly recently.

TacoButtPlug,
@TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works avatar

Right? It’s probably less about foreign enemies and more about hiding genocide.

Oh. The Octopus Murders. US gov is so fucking vile.

I hope someone digs into his case. I wonder if he had been getting any weird phone calls or feelings like he was being tracked, leading up to his death.

That might be the only thing I miss from reddit

I’m sure I’ll catch heat from this but I try and avoid instances that don’t block threads. I know it’s generally futile but, to me, it shows where the admin’s priorities are and that’s somewhat important to me as well. I imagine a leopards might popup here or elsewhere one day.

White Rural Trump Supporters Are a Threat to Democracy (www.thedailybeast.com)

In the popular imagination of many Americans, particularly those on the left side of the political spectrum, the typical MAGA supporter is a rural resident who hates Black and Brown people, loathes liberals, loves gods and guns, believes in myriad conspiracy theories, has little faith in democracy, and is willing to use violence...

It’s weird because the leaked Parler account maps showed the density of membership was in red parts of cities. Less in rural.

How the fuck do you spend $69 million in a year running reddit? Reddit isn’t a box office movie production.
