At this point if all these national security cunts are is ‘alarmed’ then they were never looking after that nation properly.

You gotta wonder how far things would’ve been allowed to go if MAGA had said it was communist…

Fuckin dronk that drink!! DO IT!!

This is an interesting analogy. So in your scenario Lemmy World is like a Pub (Public House) where any bludger can mosey on down to ‘warm their toes’ with a little socialising.

To get creative we’d name Lemmy World, The Lemmy Worlds End, an ever popular name for a pub.

My server, being Aussie zone, is like Mercury, a centimetre from the sun ;)

And your server is probably like Yosemite National Park or something.

Yeah, I like that frame. I think I’ll incorporate that into how I talk about the fediverse. Might need to polish my examples a bit more though. 😆

Thats a bit sad.

Looks like a DJ Shadow video clip.

Hahaha!!! Oh to be a fly on the wall in your lunch room! 😆😆

I’ve generally found it difficult to communicate why the fediverse, or even the social web is better than these walled gardens run by private companies. I think a lot of people haven’t had a motivating moment to shift. I’s always skeptical of fb, never really liked the set up, so i suppose i hadn’t had the same investment into the account like others.

Although I gave up Youtube also, and I used that a lot more. But that was more a ‘viewing’ account, rather than social media communication. So different reasons driving that I think.

I guess most people are. I am to a degree, but only with family private message chats. That network effect is like cement. So theres not much chance for someone like me to talk about the fediverse on other aocial media. Maybe this experience is common. I think there was a post asking about this the other day that gor pretty high up the ‘All’ feed.

Yeah, i’ve had a similar experience. Even with those friends running their own servers seem to have a lack of awareness. Considering the strength of the Linux and Foss communities here i’m surprised more information hasn’t crossed over into other forums.

Placement of the events page is wonderfully hard. A lot of effort must have been spent making that very unidentifiable.

I guess thats a “wow! How did they do that?” Moment for me.

I think awareness of the Fediverse, or the social web, is much lower than the people involved would assume. I’d think people in tech would have a greater awareness, but maybe thats not even a true assumption.

Ha! I like it!

I don’t know if this is really effective revenge. An understanding of the software isn’t why businesses outsource to a company like Atlassian. Its convenience. If Atlassian’s product is good enough why build your own?

Thats 8000 people with experience running social media that could use their knowledge and wealth to build the Fediverse and competitively reduce Meta’s monopoly.

If even a small group of them realise the agency they have, it could be damaging to Meta, and an acceptable form of growth for the Fediverse as a whole.

I’m assuming anybody that works at Meta still now must be so signed up to their horrible practices, so i don’t expect much from former Meta employees. I’d be happy to be surprised though.

Sex and … rules… can be fun… ;)

They’re easy to spot. Their last job is always at a phone company.

Yeah that was the one part they were way off on for me

Scrolled through found many recognisable names ladybutterfly, kolanaki, lots of others.

Didn’t see [email protected] shout out required.

Its interesting a lot of the names I see are definitely found in the ‘all’ crowd of lemmy, but theres lots of users who are prolific, but spend their time in more secluded areas of the network that i’d recognise.

When you say dense… what is it we’re… talking about?.. 😏

I was leaning toward, ‘without winning the Senate its a waste of time when there are so many other pressing concerns.’

But no, you’re right, they have to walk and chew pedo-gum at the same time. They have to take action against the ongoing national threat, and they have to move the country on from these people’s dystopic vision of the US. Its a necessary part of the program.

It’d also have the tactical benefit of distracting from the WH regime’s program, and allow political space for wavering Republicans to push back against certain excesses lessening the damage the WH is able to carry out from that point.

Necause you misspelled ‘but’ I then had to read your comment with a Scottish accent.
