Why would say it’s racist when being jewish is a religion? Also just because they’re not particularly white doesn’t mean that White supremacy can be inspired or want to support ideologies like apartheid states. Especially the people they’re targeting happen to be a group of people white supremacists would deem as “unpure”?

He should start charging the users to make up for the loss ;) (praying and hoping this damn site dies soon)

The lives of Palestinians are far less important than our boys in blue. Instead of I don’t know? stopping Israel directly, we’ll just save our people and get out of there.

I despise bluesky but that too

meh, I’d say a mix of lack of ability to advertise efficiently on services like mastodon and lemmy and the fact that Lemmy and Mastodon are still in their “infancy” (I can’t say that about the latter since its pretty old in comparison to lemmy). Also, lack of marketing power compared to something like meta with billions of dollars of resources and all the motivation to try to get people to move away from Twitter and onto their services. This is new tech so I’d rather just stick to being niche for now and enjoy the experience. Its not going to last long and maybe soon by the next year we’re going to see alot progression.

or mastodon/threads mainly

Guy? the article itself said it was a bunch of female officers that assaulted her.

most people follow advertisements right back into the clutches of corpo-controlled products.

The thing is I expect places like Lemmy and even Mastodon to eventually fall to this behavior. The reason I’m even viewing them as services that should be must for the common user is the mere ability to even move out without having to leave everything behind (if you catch what i’m saying) thats the real core difference and hope that I have. The problem is again like anlumo said, defederation is definitely going to be a major hurdle and one where major companies will especially take advantage of.

Defederation is honestly both toxic and history repeating itself i guess. There’s reasons for it but it’ll pass.

I wouldn’t say its a return of traditional forums. Far from it really design wise. I think its more of a return to independence and decentralization. I think we’re done with the whole “Web 2.0. Everything in one convenient place” and want to back to an era where things were much harder to find and communities were a lot more separated and dedicated to their own spaces. The fediverse isn’t the end all be all and we’re gonna suddenly go back to the 90s but to me, it’s an honest step in the right direction that could really change the internet for the better.

There are the alternatives too!

Oh then my apologies. I haven’t used Sync in awhile so I completely forgotten

Unfortunately, not likely. Unless there are some apps that will be able to do that; we’re stuck with this.

Sync actually has this

Thank you!

An idea would be if they allow the option to choose an instance of your choice and seach through there with just “lemmy”

Fair. One day that recommendation will end up being a lemmy instance instead.

twitter blue (X Pro) members

X has finally formally announced X Pro, two days after TweetDeck users started noticing the new branding and paywall.

Shouldn’t this be illegal? Implementing a sudden paywall on a previously free feature without prior warning. LMAO

There is a whole star trek instance conveniently enough: startrek.website

Is there a place on mastadon I can bitch about FedEx?
