On the bright side, even #Reddit mods might get their leg over this way:
"Hyper-sexual '#Zombie#Cicadas' that are infected with sexually transmitted #Fungus expected to emerge this year..."
"...Once the cicadas emerge from the ground, they molt into adults, and within a week to 10 days, the fungus causes the backside of their abdomens open up. A chalky, white plug erupts out, taking over their bodies and making their genitals fall off..."

What does it mean to federate your Flipboard profile? In the simplest terms, it means that whatever you curate (aka share) on Flipboard will be "syndicated" out to the fediverse with no extra effort. @miaq tests it out and breaks it down.
I'm not OP, but #Flipboard seems like a sort of a link aggregator (called "flips"). You can keep your own links (publicly or privately) and follow other people's curated links, and comment on them.
A little bit like a #Reddit or #Lemmy - except the links are emphasized more than the conversation.
I didn't know how to federate my links, though. So this article is interesting!
Et si on rédigeait un article de presse sur le fediverse et qu'on le publiait un peu partout dans la presse ? Pour le moment on a pas une image super positive car 3000 serveurs c'est compliqué, que l'ui est austère...ça me gave.
Le tout en passant sous silence ce qu'on reproche aux réseaux sociaux capitalistes : cambridge analytica, transphobie, déni du rechauffement climatique...Et ça fait pas bouger plus que ça :bugcat_what:
Pourquoi ne pas faire une tribune pour inviter le gouvernement à suivre l'exemple de la commission européenne et des institutions allemandes qui sont sur mastodon ? :)
Pourquoi ne pas imaginer un immense dossier de presse sur les réseaux sociaux : ferme à clic, les modo de facebook, le contenu violent, le genocide des meymar puis on aborde le fédiverse avec l'interview des modos, des admins, des hebergeurs...et on présente quelques instances françaises, francophones.
Ça me brancherait bien comme aventure et qu'elle soit portée collectivement. Pas facile mais mon reve serait d'aller à la gare et de lire plusieurs grands titres sur le fédiverse. Et de donner envie à d'autres personnes de nous rejoindre. :)
I wonder what going public will mean for Reddit's nsfw communities. How long it's going to take until investor pressure forces them to crack down and bully or outright ban nsfw subreddits one by one.
Reddit is somewhat unique in that it's one of the largest remaining sites, or perhaps the largest since the Tumblr nsfw purge, that are fine with nsfw content and that recruit a considerable share of their users via nsfw content.
#SocialMedia#ContentModeration#Reddit: "How do you put out a dumpster fire? Don’t call in professional firefighters; let volunteers show up with buckets and get to work.
This is, in essence, how Reddit, the 19-year-old social media site, turned itself from one of the darkest corners of the web into something of a model for how content moderation should be done. The San Francisco company rode that transformation, which relied on an army of volunteer monitors, all the way to Wall Street this month, when it pulled off one of the most anticipated tech offerings in years.
Its shares rocketed to $74 in its first days on the Nasdaq exchange after debuting at $34. The stock gave up some ground to just under $50 at Thursday’s pre-Easter close, valuing the company at $8 billion (£6.5 billion).
Reddit’s arrival on the public market marked a remarkable coming of age for a company that once revelled in its status as a free-for-all chock full of internet trolls and “not safe for work” posts. The latter included the infamous episode a decade ago when unauthorised nude photos were shared of celebrities including Rihanna and Jennifer Lawrence. The response of Reddit’s then chief executive was to leave up the offending material. In a post entitled “Every Man Is Responsible For His Own Soul”, he explained that the firm was not so much a website as a “government of a new type of community” — a community that happened to have a rabid belief in free expression." https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/7d352b65-464e-4dc7-906d-62c014b88679?shareToken=00aeb577b8820278fd9a02e8761f70ca
What are some other good sources for news, maybe rpg discussions?
One thought I had while browsing is how it would be nice if all those sites allowed you to login with your own made up identity that already exists. Like if I could log in as my mastadon randomwizard to go leave a comment.
Some 7% of Reddit’s free share float (or more) has been sold short so far, according to an estimate from the analytics company Ortex cited by Reuters. That’s something the social platform was worried would happen, noting in its prospectus that retail traders in its subreddits (and particularly on r/WallStreetBets) could...
Tengo que echar un ojo dentro de poco a @detun3d y @detun3d por si alguna de las dos redes o ambas hubiese mejorado sus funciones y compatibilidad con el resto del #fediverso.
En su momento me hicieron bastante ilusión como alternativas a #Reddit pero terminé decepcionado especialmente por lo mal que federaban.
