When all those gurus say you are a lion, they mean a different thing…but I love your approach! :D

Side thought: what are they gonna do with content that violates the site’s rules?

For example, knowing Tumblr audience and current rules, many will rush for uncensored NSFW content, and Fedi’s got plenty of that.

In all seriousness, and if you didn’t figure already, productivity culture is a massive con.

Humans cannot and should not be busy with work/study 24/7. Your procrastination is a sign of burnout, not some “laziness” to overcome. Think of what could help you get a good rest (spoiler alert: this is not scrolling your feed) and return to business with passion.

Looks like you’re all set to repeat that

Ordi might be wrong in their approach to the correction, but our communications are, indeed, littered with words that are meant to emphasize something, but are instead so commonplace that they don’t mean anything anymore.

Fucking. Literally. Really. Actually. Insane. Unbelievable. Bizarre. Big. You name it.

In an era of everyone constantly screaming on the Internet while sitting there on the couch with zero emotions, it would make sense to step down and revisit the way we approach the language - and our experiences when facing such content.

The joke would absolutely be better off without the word “fucking”.

They are trying hard to block all known adblockers. And if they ever do, this will become a serious problem.

I see, thanks!

Fair!

Fedi is mostly hostile to the idea of crypto, which is why such projects are commonly a no-go for this audience.

6 years is a fairly long run, so I hope tokenomics was somehow figured out.

Advertising is something commonly rejected; I too see this as a strong negative. Paid boosting of genuine content is not great, but I’ll take it.

Question: what advantages does it have over hosting your own fedi server? Anonymity? Not having to invest in hosting to get more control? Not having to build federated connections and rediscover communities?

True

Reading more about it, I see it’s based on a blockchain, with Pocketcoin token serving as a currency to incentivise node operators.

So, do I understand it right that every action and piece of media is distributed around all nodes, which are incentivised by crypto to keep going? And that user doesn’t normally operate a node per se, but has an account, similar to a crypto wallet, on this blockchain? Also, do node maintainer rewards come from users or the emission pool?

For now it looks to me like a terribly scalable and wasteful system with potential for monetary enshittification. Also, financing is unclear: if it’s on users, barely anyone is gonna pay for everything they publish. If it comes from the pool, even if it is diminishing like with Bitcoin, what would generate demand for the token? Governance?

But I might not see everything

To serve you relevant ads, Meta will use your activity on Threads and Instagram, the posts you interact with, your email address, and “your activity from off Meta technologies,” according to a support page.

Do I read it right in that they’ll try to follow you around Fediverse, aside from monitoring you on every site they already have a nose on?

De-fe-de-rate.

Does it matter? The screen still has to display it, and GPU render it, even if no RT is involved.

What are the advantages over Mastodon? Is it compatible with ActivityPub?

Unlike Threads, I kind of even don’t mind

Tumblr is generally cute, and while we should be on the watch still, I think it could enrich the Fediverse community.

Finally, Hannah Montana!

Glory to the heroes and all that, but gloating over the destruction is never cool.

Particularly terrible when Russians do that, but always bad no matter who says it.

And so do I

I was the one to downplay the salute.

Then I saw Elon not doing anything about it, and if he doesn’t give a damn so hard then it is bad enough as it is.

Swasti-car manufacturer he is.
