Which ones? Searched and couldn’t find anything. This MotleyFool article is over 4 years old when COVID was still raging, hardly “recent”.

Yeah BlueSky is a solid side-step. It’s still for-profit and not federated but every BlueSky user is one not on X. And a lot of BlueSky’s userbase is comprised of particularly influential X users so them leaving is particularly harmful to the ecosystem.

I also think it’s funny how the journalists who repeat BlueSkys “decentralized” nonsense thought Mastodon was too weird and technical, and yet are promoting Pixelfed. Not complaining, but it is funny.

Took a long time, but nice to see this topic getting mainstream attention.

This is literally the answer lmao why are you getting downvoted.

Bing and all Bing-based engines stopped being able to show Reddit results.

Not accurate, actually!

OP if you enjoy a fun weekend project, don’t go with a pi-hole. It literally only takes about 5 minutes. Also I recommend the blocklistproject lists https://blocklistproject.github.io/Lists/

Honestly curious what kind of content you believe requires less effort to post than an image macro?

The moderator to user ratio on the fediverse is orders of magnitude higher than commercial platforms. Even Lemmy.world (a large, loosely moderated Lemmy instance) has again, orders of magnitude more eyes on its content than reddit.

This means that even if a chatbot gets invented that is impossible to distinguish form a human, mods will more readily be able to tell if it is pushing a narrative/shilling products.

What bugs have you encountered lately? I’ve been playing around with it (only a couple of days now) and it’s overall been very smooth experience for me.

If the article doesn’t define what “AI” means then the article doesn’t actually mean anything. Market research studying what people know about a vague and undefined term like “AI” can ultimately only produce undefined results.

It’s like asking people their feelings on “woke” or “god”. If everyone is talking about something different then nobody can have more or less understanding of it.

Activitypub accounts are portable actually. Lemmy is not as slick as Mastodon with this feature yet but will likely get there.

The kickstarter is official too, Daniel tooted it recently.

Is something finally going to federate with bluesky?

Surprised nobody’s mentioned this: https://reek.github.io/anti-adblock-killer/

Haha, Ulrich I noticed you on several threads the past few days correcting misinformation, thank you for your service.

In my book a single data point (a phone number) is not “vast amounts of metadata”. Again, I have never seen someone describing Signal as a “paragon of privacy and security”, Signal itself certainly does not say that (It’s presented as an improvement over SMS).

Signal is an excellent alternative if you’re looking for an E2E encrypted SMS replacement your grandmother can use.

Where did you read that they are collecting vast amounts of metadata? Not challenging your claim just that I have been trying to find more info and came up empty. Signal says “we don’t collect analytics or telemetry data” but that’s about it.
