Exactly. And may I add to your point the privatization of public communication by social media ( especially Instagram ). It’s becoming very hard to find information about your city public action without an account on Instagram; now to be a citizen is required to have an “social media id”.
Also, business are becoming hostages of Instagram: their only way to communicate with the customers is through this mediation. I think is very very important to platforms like pixelfed to become more popular and indeed brake these people free.
“It’s good to be proud of German culture, German values, and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything,” Musk said.
They want Germany out of EU to fracture the block. Then, when Europe is fragmented and weak they can provide ( sell )“the solution” again.
Yes! We need a better interface between them
Damn, that computer is hungry!
I don’t even have X, but everywhere I go there’s an Elon’s tweet
These non-stick pans are usually cheaper then stainless steel and cast iron, so people with lower income are more prone to buy it. Consequently, considering that low education is associated with poverty, poor people are buying more of this type of pans and not using it “properly” so getting exposed to possibly more harm and not knowing about it.
Also, " just discard the pan if flocking occurs", is everything that this industry wants: you’ll continue in an indefinitely loop of trowing away pans and buying new ones for the maximization of their profits. Thus is expected that flocking will occur more soon than ever.
I know, why? But looks cool though
That’s a great point you made. As the fediverse grows it will become much more harder to control… The good thing is that the suggestion algorithm of Mastodon is more based in the community you build by following others
I agree completely. That’s the purpose of urbanism that we have privatized: now the social interactions happen in the shopping mall or in the online shopping mall ( social media). These places are made to stimulate over consumption and to dry out any cultural movement or community identification; it’s an sterilization of thought. In this way the same model can be replicated worldwide to maximize profits
Zuckerberg going full nazi… That’s one of the many reasons we can’t have Mastodon and Threads in federation

I don’t have any idea, but hey - cool project!
I know but I see it as the special part. In this way we can communicate not about ourselves, but about common interests. Stuff like ticktock and Instagram are too focused on constructing an idealized “you”
I get it, but each instance could have a community called “chat” or something, and people could talk about a specific topic. It’s not a proper conversation but it’s something… I know that we already do that, in some sense, but it’s always more directed to commenting a news article, or a meme.
Recently I saw that some people gathered to read Das Capital, and they had scheduled each week to talk about a specific part of the book. That’s something awesome and a great way to learn.
I don’t feel that people really talk with each other here on Lemmy, what’s your opinion? It seems that we just share preconceived opinions and that’s it.
These days, it feels like every gathering place on the internet is so crowded with content that’s competing for — and successfully grabbing — our attention or trying to sell us something that there’s barely any room for the “social” element of social media. Instead, we’re pushed into separate corners to stare at the glowing boxes in our hands alone
True
Classic!!
She’s right. Always.
Cool, thank you!
It’s very scary indeed, and add to that the “new” policy of “fuck the planet, let’s pollute” by one of the most polluting nations in the world.
