The thing is, i think social media today has created a lot of censorship out of necessity. There are people out there who just aren’t mature or intelligent enough to have a conversation without insulting or pushing people down.

And because of they, we all suffer. We get over-moderated, we get called trolls etc.

I think I would like a platform where people actually have to act like adults. But that’s hard. Hacker news have kind of made it, but they are also well known for not being open minded at all.

Depends on what you get moderated for. I once posted a question about trans people and I got banned from some Lemmy.ml community because they thought I was trolling them. I wasn’t.

It’s just sometimes hard for moderators to know what kind of person they are dealing with. But someone’s posting history is usually enough to see if they are trolling or not.

Also what is trolling. It’s supposed to mean that you intentionally upset people for fun. How can anyone know if it’s intentionally or not. To some people, asking a question is trolling because they don’t see why anyone would ask that if they didn’t try to upset people.

So… It’s interesting.

For better or worse, the moderation policies of Lemmy.world is seen as “the fediverse”.

Almost everyone decided to use that instance, so… It’s the default choice still.

I’m sorry but how is single sign on with some big tech player account like github or Microsoft considered a privacy feature? It sounds like anti privacy?

Yeah I think that round shape looks seriously out of place. You would never see something like that outside of gnome, in any app.

But alright, it is what it is.

Huge plus!

That’s bad. It really doesn’t look good. Oh well.

Still just experimental fractional scaling…

I don’t think the rounded circles for buttons in the file dialog looks good, but that’s hopefully just the default theme.

Kagi is making some money by providing value that Google can’t. I’m not sure if it would be enough for mozilla, but Kagi is making a profit now.

Sadly, both of these companies still depend on Google.

People can rise up at any time and start destroying the machines that guard them.

It’s not bad enough yet but at some point, people won’t accept it anymore. Probably when they have almost nothing left to fight for.

Phones are ridiculously expensive now. I was always buying the best phone growing up, but now it’s absolutely not worth it. People pay for great cameras, essentially, and then post most of their pics on social media where they are compressed and converted from the original image anyway.

Anything arch based. :)

I tried warp but it was actually laggy and slow. Also I don’t like the account idea, but I was willing to let it slide if they built a much better terminal than what we have.

They didn’t.

As long as their goals suite the company, sure. The endgame of Google is very clear and it doesn’t include a free and open web.

First thing in their privacy statement:

• Searches are anonymous and private to you. Kagi does not log and associate searches with an account.

You can claim that they are lying but I personally do not think they do.

Google is not private and they track you on every web page, building up a profile of your searches, weather you are logged in or not.

I think its been interesting to watch. What has happened is that there is now a super large instance in Lemmy.world, and a handful of smaller ones with above a thousand users.

The promise of proper decentralization didn’t really happen. There are hundreds of small instances but they are not self contained and completely depend on the larger ones to get content.

Defederation seems to be common since admins don’t want to deal with moderating hostile conversations, which makes a lot of sense. But it also makes it a echo chamber to some degree. We see mostly memes and jokes instead of meaningful discussions. So it’s great for a fun time but not so much more than that.

Still, I’m happy it’s an alternative to reddit and those removedty services. I love that it’s run by ordinary people and not tech companies. And no ads or tracking. All good stuff.

Friends don’t let friends use windows man. :p

He was 22 years old. Pretty incredible.

No this looks very primitive. It’s not the 1970s. Add a circle and some colors.

I know, because most people are lazy, ignorant and stupid. :)
