considering Elon is killing twitter, I don’t think that’s a viable option. Every assemble…to Mastodon and our savior of decentralized social media!

Examine TikTok’s U.S. facilities, records, equipment and servers with minimal or no notice,

not related. But this kind of reminds me of https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2257 specifically:

© Any person to whom subsection (a) applies shall maintain the records required by this section at his business premises, or at such other place as the Attorney General may by regulation prescribe and shall make such records available to the Attorney General for inspection at all reasonable times.

So, at least it’s nothing new. there’s precedence for it in existing law.

Tweetdeck has been dying a slow death since they killed the Android app back in 2013 (RIP. Still miss you buddy!)

too real

I’d recommend GrapheneOS just because it’s much more private and secure (and everyone should care about privacy and the security of their shit)

It’ll probably never happen because the unemployment rate for autistic people is 85%. But in an ideal world, I’d love to build my own (if there’s any sugar mommies/daddies out there that feel like spoiling someone 🤔):

Just for funsies I just built it in pcpartpicker https://pcpartpicker.com/user/JoshuaACasey/saved/cqjnpg

edit: motherboard seems out-of-stock, so if this ever becomes a reality, might have to make some adjustments for a different micro itx motherboard (plus compatible cpu of course. no biggie, thanks to the existence of pcpartpicker, compatibility is a breeze!)

you’re more than free to, as they say, “fuck around and find out”. I hope for your sake you have the money and time to deal with lawyers and court

(I’m still not sure I really get it)

It’s like email. With email, if you have a @gmail.com address you can communicate with @hotmail.com addresses.

Well, with lemmy/mastodon/whatever they work the same way. Users don’t have to all be on the same server to interact with each other.

Mastodon’s account migration feature is definitely very much appreciated. And I hope Lemmy adds an account migration feature.

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. I’m so glad to see someone else say this.

I just hate the way that Elongated Muskrat makes us autistic people look terrible.

I feel like I’m the only one that doesn’t mind people joining threads. It gets more people to join the fediverse (a good thing), which not only introduces more people to the fediverse (potentially with them moving to other instances) but also potentially gets more people to set up their own personal instances for themselves OR a group of family/friends

to be fair, it was always legal to discriminate against trump supporters since political views are not a “protected class”

yep. he buys things that other people did and then takes credit for it.

Money ≠ Intelligence. Melonhead is undeniable proof of this.

hope they move to lemmy.

But I suspect they’ll either use their own blog, twitter account, or discord (I’m assuming they have one)

as someone that has had a mastodon account in existence for a few years, I’m pretty committed to the fediverse/activitypub. Fuck social media being owned by billionaires or corporate overlords. I’m so over that shit. It’s way past time to put billionaires into the fucking ground (in minecraft…but also not in minecraft)

and there we have. a reddit meme has transcended reddit onto a higher plane of existence.

ok. who are these girls? I’ve seen this pic before. But I have no idea who they are (funnily enough the girl on the left kinda looks like the oldest daughter of my neighbors behind me that is a couple years younger than me. But I’m quite positive it’s not her.)

it’s not a bad idea. it does the following things that I can think of:

1. (as someone else mentioned) gives more content to another platform of the fediverse.
2. doesn’t overwhelm lemmy/kbin instance runners with the needs of hosting video when they intend on hosting a software/platform that is mostly intended for text.
