@Vivaldi have you blocked bird.makeup? Trying to figure out why my news postings stopped a few days ago (if it is the domain or our instance). Thanks! :vivaldi_red:
@maikel
Do you about any of this? I'm just now seeing these. Had heard rumblings of Fediverse drama, but had no idea this is what was behind it.
I don't want to be associated with anything that supports Kyle Rittenhouse
Do you know anything more about this? I was really hoping that would be my last migration. 😒
@riversidebryan that sucks. I'm sorry. It would be nice maybe to have an instance run by a non-profit (like Signal) so that it is more transparent, run by a board, and more stable. If I win the lotto, that might be a thing I'd do.
@tsyum@AbandonedAmerica@tom4okstate if they brand it as "the Fediverse" and users see that the app isn't fully baked, it could give an uninformed user the perception that the Fediverse is uniformly that way, which would then poison impressions of the Fediverse. I don't think it is likely, but I don't ever put nefarious activity beyond Meta's boundaries
#Strava is pretty good, but #privacy invading and costs for extra features.
#GoogleFit is free, but less powerful and privacy invading
There are some good options on F-Droid.org though, but they store data on your phone and not in a cloud, and they're graphically a bit more clunky. Currently I'm using Google Fit for my #running
As a status symbol which earned them more views and clout, to us non-elite it always was a badge of shame. The elite are now stripped of their privilege and now want to pretend to sympathize with those they looked down on before.
Shame on #Twitter and #Meta for doing this...shame on the former blue check mafia who only cared when their #privilege was lost
