it used to be just for nice social bubbles
now it’s for political disinformation bubbles and the two cannot be untangled. users will not do it voluntarily
real identities and moderation in the form of fact checking are the only way on all social media
native wild flowers and grasses make for a very pretty garden imo, and benefit nature a lot
true and the lunatic leftist fantasists have been put back in their box, but the population is less than 5% of what it peaked at in the early days
oooh another how is lemmy doing post
meh it’s ok, look at the graphs the numbers are massively down but making a very slow recovery maybe
so there’s about 40k active users, so it’s quiet
no you’re not missing out on anything
these servers were some of the first which is why they appear to have a lot of communities
all the communities have moved on or been replaced on other servers so these servers are now a tiny fraction (faction? hoho) of the fediverse, exactly for the reason you experienced
amazing good maths
next they’ll be writing articles about “if i vote for jill stein becaue palestine. why do fascists stay in power” level maths
this whole post should be in fuck_motorbikes
i use it like a search engine or example generator
i don’t trust anything it creates just like i don’t trust anything on the internet without validating it
i take you point about being wasteful tho, AI is like the oil of computing; incredibly wasteful for what it does
i think the users might actually be slightly increasing but the doomerism is dominating
lol
reading the top comments on this post, strikes me they reflect the founders of lemmy
maybe we’ll get more joy from the piefeds
i think this, loose change and jfk fucked peoples heads up for generations
P2P will be back back BACK
the original fediverse
you start losing energy because your attention and effort are being thrown around in too many directions, you don’t have enough time to do it all and any feedback mechanisms come to nothing
you’re locked in a frustration/stress spiral and your body and mind will eventually give up or crash
oh and you should have time to rest - at work
feels like brexit in that they will no longer have influence or discussion with their sworn enemies
they will just circle jerk on their marxist island
honestly it’s really not
careful you don’t smack youself in the face with that knee jerk
Brave does not collect user data at all by default, and any opt-in system, such as Brave Rewards or premium VPN, blinds us to user id, no record linkability either
is that THE cambridge analytica? i assume .org is something using the name in irony
problem is OP you don’t just bring down/destroy/disappear capitalism
capitalism is an umbrella term for the economic system that emerged from the most basic early trade/money systems/financialisation
so in reality you start with capitalism and change it to enable things you like
anyone that doesn’t start answering your question with capitalism is a bullshit fantasist
judging by the other replies you’ve had that’s what you got. that’s why these transition plans to communism are so threadbare and disfunctional. they are just hand-wavey dreams
this post made me realise i can’t remember
time to go to the theatre darlings!
