The main thing keeping people from using Mastodon is the lack of an algorithm. The very feature they should be using it for. The problem is your normal average person needs to be told by someone or an algorithm who to talk to or what to do. To go out and look for people to connect with on their own. We share interest. Or simply have work that interests them is too much effort. You need to show up in a little box on their interface otherwise they’ll never find you.
Like when they stopped trying to Outsource to India or other places where the labor was extremely cheap. But all the code that came back from it was useless and had to be Rewritten by the remaining software engineers still at the company anyway. They’ll never learn. They’ll simply find a new anti-worker efficiency to Chase.
Oh absolutely. However that might imply they didn’t actually read. Or might be being disingenuous. Not sure. You were very clear in your post who you were talking about.
What part of any of @JiveTurkey@lemmy.world 's post is racist? Also. One correct use also doesn’t excuse all the BS uses.
You singled it out. Which was incorrect. Hatred of minorities is common in every culture on every continent of the Earth. It’s a basic human nature thing. And America isn’t special in that respect. Hell when you get into large monocultures like China Etc the racism and hatred of minorities gets even more extreme and specific. In fact a lot of those hatreds have been imported from all over. The Koreans hatred of the japanese. The Japanese is hatred of the Chinese and vice versa. Various Indian sects hatred of each other. And the colorful bigotry of Europe and the Mediterranean. But one thing it is also produced here in America that is a little less common than elsewhere. Are people that actually are much more tolerant and supportive of minorities. Unfortunately they’re not the ones in control but they do exist.
Not significantly more than anywhere else.
And better yet China will turn around and weaponize this against us. Forcing companies manufacturing over there to sell off their interest in the manufacturing plants Etc. This s*** can go both ways and everyone’s about to learn the hard way.
Yep. Leninist aren’t communist. And never will be. They use the term ironically like magats use the term freedom. They make it their identity despite being opposed to it.
Yep, just like the Internet was only for techies.
That’s the joke yes. Among others here. 😆
You mean mainland Taiwan? Never heard of this China.
It’s a start. And still a doorway into the fediverse. The average person doesn’t care about reddit Lemmy or mbin. They care about Instagram pixelfed and twitter mastodon bluesky.
They will quickly find bluesky enshitifying out of necessity. And the fediverse will be there to catch them.
100% it wasn’t my intention to imply otherwise. Just to point out that celebrities are still just people and people have pretty dark sides oftentimes. So many people get lulled into traps thinking that someone famous or well known is safe. They’re just like any of the rest of us.
Oh definitely. But those of us that multi-messenger were definitely the exception not the rule.
No one should ever be put on a pedestal. We all have our demons. Though many of them are semi innocent or only hurt ourselves. It still sad to hear another celebrity abused their celebrity.
Do they need to? How did people decide on MSN vs AIM vs ICQ? Google vs Yahoo? Ventrillo or Team speak? Skype vs Zoom vs Discord. They will go where their friends are primarily. And what suits their needs generally. Federation isn’t anything truly new. The massive centralized servers were. The fediverse is a return to form. Only better. Be on the service and server that suit you. No missing out.
Good ole wimp lo.
Initially no real reason. Eventually you discover ones with administrators you vibe with and communities and users you like. But till then, maybe server capacity?
Why not just post screenshots? Not give anyone reason to accidentally give them traffic. People can still see what you wanted, win win
