  • It’s harder than that IMO. There are plenty alternatives to many bad things but people just don’t care. Just like Linux, for the average person that’s got enough shit to deal with, they don’t wanna add what they perceive like a difficulty and remove comfort by having to start from scratch with less options. Also, being cut from the mainstream trends, and the general social thing.

    Not speaking for me as I’ve been mostly degoogling and demicrosofting, even tho I still partly feeling like that for YouTube that’s been a very valuable part of my life (yes. I do read and go outside. But please stop suggesting that to people in such threads, that’s missing the point), and that I couldn’t let go off yet. Alternatives rn are either totally devoid of content (at least, the one I like), or paid (didn’t gave a shot to Nebula, I’ll browse it and see, but it might be hard to beat both my favorite creators I spent years curating, and the fact that you can find anything on any obscure thing)



  • Molly White, who writes the Citation Needed newsletter and Web3 is Going Just Great blog, described this as “a good proposal,” and said it was “weird to see people flaming BlueSky for it,” since it’s not so much “welcoming in AI scraping” but rather “trying to add a consent signal to allow users to communicate preferences for the scraping that is already happening.”

    That being said, yes, not great

    We probably can’t escape Ai everywhere, let’s face it But most people won’t care like they didn’t care about their data in general before AI

    I’m already using Mastodon in parallel, but I must admit I couldn’t find a lot of people to follow…maybe gotta look harder, but I have to admit it doesn’t seem as easy as it does on BS










  • Ok so I’m going to get hated for that, but trust me, this is just me being naive and knowing nothing about many subjects. But so, as much as this law can get into excesses and seems really bad, and I clearly don’t want it, is it possible to balance the debate and say, objectively, that this can actually be help to help stop narcos which are getting a bit out of hand? Again, I’m leaning left, but I like to see both sides, I think nobody is ever 100% wrong, so I’m wondering what people think about it.


  • AkashicOwl@lemmy.worldtoProton @lemmy.worldProton left Mastodon...

    due to limited ressources

    Is it that hard to post the same thing on various social media? Maybe it is, I wouldn’t know. But that sounds like a shitty excuse.

    It looks like they’re not up to date on X tho, hopefully they drop that shit. And they’re on Bluesky, which, if not Mastodon, is a little bit better I guess.

    I really don’t get the hidden idea behind leaving Mastodon.
