Hopefully Threads can tank all the lawsuits from Twitter, so that Mastodon can operate in peace lol.
I wonder tho, how much Threads has copied from Mastodon
Mastodon is a bubble. You have primarily highly educated, tech-literate nerds on that platform.
Obviously people are more civil and polite there, than some raging uneducated losers and trolls on facebook.
As the fediverse grows, the userbase will obviously lose this current isolated tech-wizard school vibe, and feel more like going into a random pub in a big city. Regardless if Meta joins the fediverse or not.
When I used Facebook a few years ago, my feed was mostly memes, ads and personal posts from friends and family.
Maybe I never got the ragebait political stuff, because everyone in my friend circle wasn’t keen on being the sad guy that publicly yells at clouds on facebook.
Popular hashtags on Twitter and to some extend even on Mastodon, just makes you feel bad for the mental health of these perma-raging users tho.
Political spaces in general on every social platform are just magnets for misery.
“Ragefarming” and “algorithmically filtering for rage” just means sorting by thread activity. Mastodon already does this.

American drivers licenses are basically just EU style ID cards. For new licenses you even need biometric data. State IDs and the “Passport Card” are (somewhat obscure) alternatives.
Europeans only need to apply for ID cards at around the age, were the average American gets their driver’s license.
A young American adult is probably almost just as identifiable by their government, as a young European adult would be by theirs.
Seeing regulations like the REAL ID act, I would say that America is headed towards more identification, rather than less.
Doesn’t every American have a social security number? That’s basically a national ID, just without any security features tho.
They live in Japan, so the worst that could happen is them getting banned I reckon
For me it’s American Gods by Terry Pratchett
Tbh pirating closed source software is as easy, as installing forked code. Maybe you could add a non-competition clause to a new open source license, so that the original FOSS software company has the legal high ground over anyone that undersells them.
I only reread, when reading a book to a child. Otherwise rereading is very rare for me.
I do like to read some very generic fantasy genres, like for example Isekais/Portal Fantasies or fan fictions. Novels in that area are so similar to each other, you may as well count that as reading the same thing over and over again. Each novel has its own twists and strengths though, so it always feels fresh.
LastPass is just producing bad news after bad news. Incredible how incompetent these guys are.
