@stux @stux @phillycodehound @antonioserrata Sorry to bother you. Wondering if you plan to defederate masto.ai with threads.net/meta/facebook/instagram. I have a lot of concerns over their policies and practices and that is why I use mastodon, to get away from big corporations. Thanks in advance! (If anyone else knows what the official policy is here, please tell me)

@phillycodehound @softlightwizard @stux @stux I'm inclined to agree on the block the instance at the individual level. Not everyone will feel as strongly about that and there are valid voices there not here. There's value in it. BUT at the end of the day it is Stux call.

There have been many news stories about SF failing to meet its 2024 goal. Have any mentioned that the goal was not just 0 fatalities, but 0 serious injuries too?

@scott Oh they doing that vision zero thing? LOL They did that in NYC and it's been a disaster. Seems MORE people are getting killed by cars because they're causing road rage by making people go infuriatingly slow and just road rage overall.

@scott Ok, well it's still a crap implementation in NYC. SF seems to just be using the same name. Guess we'll see how it plays out there.

@lovelylovely 96 percent win. Biden won SC by 96 percent while the MSM was citing bullshit polls that had him at 68 percent. Meanwhile they were touting Trump's 58 percent win as some HUGE deal, but turnout was absolute crap in Iowa.

@morgfair What's interesting is it's 7.8 million, but MSNBC and CNN reporting 5.5 thus downplaying it and failing to contrast the fact that the GOP is trying to impeach Biden over a 4500 dollar REPAYMENT loan for a truck from Hunter to Joe Biden. Something pretty common with family in general.

“Former county clerk Kim Davis, who refused to issue marriage licenses in to same-sex couples, must pay a total of $260,104 in fees and expenses to attorneys who represented one couple, according to a federal judge’s ruling.

That’s in addition to $100,000 in damages a jury said the former Rowan County clerk should pay the couple who sued.”

This is what happens when you inhabit a fantasy world utterly untethered to reality. You do and say things that are completely unhinged. It catches up.

I know we all feel strongly about our various stances, but let's also remember we can agree to disagree, at least on certain topics. You're not going to win anyone over by assaulting them.

@stefan If anything it'll expose more people to Mastodon and the broader Fediverse. With Tumblr also building compatibility to AP, we may see more of thise over time with Mastodon being a major hub for the fediverse overall.

antonioserrata,
@antonioserrata@masto.ai avatar

@stefan Not necessarily in numbers...at least not at first. BUT if some companies decided they would prefer to spin up their own instances to avoid being Musked in the future, Fediverse then becomes what Metaverse will never be lol. Major outlets having their own instances on Mastodon would be huge. Threads being weak on news info might drive that.

So it looks like we're gonna be able to view/follow/be followed by Threads users soon depending on instances allowing it. Tumblr as well. But Threads close.

@lovelylovely That can be laid at the media's feet. They could do more, but instead milquetoast reporting or bothsidesing if they're not outright shitting on Dems in low key ways with bullshit poll reporting and all that.

23 years ago today, I sat dumbfounded and depressed in my car in a parking lot for hours after hearing the SCOTUS handing down the antidemocratic end to the FL recount that gave GW Bush the presidency over Al Gore who won the popular vote by 500000, about the size of Sacramento.

Silicon Valley billionaires are drawing a line: you’re either a techno-optimist who won’t question them or an enemy they’re ready to fight.

In his new manifesto, Marc Andreessen embraces faith and fascism to distract from the harms the tech industry has caused and justify the power and wealth of the tech elite. It shows why a renewed Luddite movement is absolutely necessary.

@parismarx Marc Andreesen is a right wing fascist. He literally blocks anyone on his socials that invokes his name calling this fact out. I ended up blocked on Twitter and likely other places over it.

@lovelylovely It's all the media can do. I've begun to think they're all in for Trump, they just low key act like they're not. They shit on Biden, Dems, completely ignore his progress and achievements and MAYBE on occasion report on it BUT with a caveat...I mean last year was all INFLATION, RECESSION, DEPRESSION and it didn't happen, now they're looking stupid and doubling down on attacking him AGAIN on other things.

Fortnite OG season is coming to an end tomorrow and today was the last time I'll play any matches before the live event tomorrow with Eminem.

These are my final stats for month long season. It's been a super fun season going back to where it all started in Fortnite. Sad to see the season end, but excited for the new chapter and season that's coming.

@blogdiva Not defending Chapelle, BUT in this instance, he was cajoled into this. There's a video that gives the context of this photo. I mean it's probably true, and his lack of comment on it kinda plays into it. BUT he wasn't there to meet with them. Don't have the full story, but he was there for a different reason.

People working on Solutions are encountering & about their work.

in the past —sometimes paid for by interests— were often misconceptions like is a scam or its threat overblown. Those endure, but now there are attacks on … such as attacks on ; e.g. the myth that cause cancer or birth defects.

@Nonilex conspiracies?! I've seen threat projects. They're just to make open air spaces accessible without a car. The conspiracies are the oil companies that want more people driving for more oil consumption.
