I think all propaganda is equally bad. Putting certain ones on pedestals because “At least it isn’t XYZ” doesn’t jive with me, and it distracts from the real issue.
False equivalence and whataboutism is not helping anyone.
Yeah, and they’ve also had more explicit efforts like America’s Army. That being said, while it is propaganda, it’s not quite as deceptive and pro-warcrimes as what Russia’s putting out there.
They’re a small company, they’ll probably just go bankrupt.
They weren’t normally on the same network, but were accidentally put on the same network during migration.
Just call up Linustechtips and ask to collab on a zetabyte project. Probably get the storage drives for free, right?

Moreover, killing Youtube will be harder than killing any of these social media. Serving video content is very expensive.
Ads are making a comeback on streaming services. Not only Youtube, which is now getting more serious about blocking ad-blockers, but even on paid streaming. Netflix has an ad supported tier, Amazon runs ads for its own stuff (so far)…
I mean, even the Skyrim disc for PC just ran a script to download it via Steam. This has been coming for a long time.
Firefox is behind in some areas, but ahead in others - eg. privacy/tracking.
That is generally true, with exceptions like leaking someone else’s private information.
But it implicates the adjacent “right to be forgotten” rather than narrowly defined “privacy”. This could be a real legal issue in the EU.
LMFAO that ship has fucking sailed. They already used Reddit data through 2021 and got everything they needed for free. Huffman is locking the barn after the horses are already out, and setting it on fire. What a fucking dumbass.
Plus they can just scrape the data without using the API. It’s a red herring, just a lie to cover up his desire to kill third party apps.
what practical nonenterprise uses are these speeds going to have?
None. These are very much enterprise-oriented updates. These extreme speeds are so difficult to achieve that it outweighs the simplification of scaling down the number of lanes. It’s better to use a PCIe 5.0 x16 connection than PCIe 7.0 x4 in consumer hardware.
Mastodon is substantially more active than Lemmy thus far. It’s a different type of medium to Lemmy, so what you want to use is up to you.
Personally I use both, but just like I was spending much more time on reddit than twitter, I’d like to spend more time on Lemmy than Mastodon. I have also found Lemmy a little more intuitive to use initially, so it might be worth spending a couple weeks getting used to how the fediverse works before jumping into Mastodon.
Elon Musk made me jump to Mastodon. Spez made me jump to Lemmy.
could result in the social media company’s trust and safety teams being crippled
If they weren’t already…
It’s not sudden, it’s been garbage for a while.
