Anything to make the sequel series more consistent would be better than what we got. Trilogy has gotta be 3 parts to a story, not 3 separate visions 🥲
It's a hard habit to break
I feel like I've heard a lot of bias placed against the idea of government in the US as something that's the source of problems in the country, where private organizations are usually seen as being the solution and not at all related somehow. It doesn't always strike the mark when criticizing private organizations... people will even jump to the defense of billionaires. Agree that mentioning government grocery stores would result in something like "what you want the government to run groceries? they can't do anything right, why would you want them to do that?"
Genuine question, what's the best way to tell if someone is a bot? Just the nature of their content/reposting of articles and such?
Us lurkers are still here (hopefully) but it's easy to go back to the ways of scrolling without engaging
Thanks for doing what you do!
That's a great article, thanks for sharing
I feel like we are seeing lots of these tech companies just clawing at new innovations for profit cause they can't seem to run a stable business otherwise without fucking things up somehow. See the the crypto/nft boom, AI and it's rapid and still somewhat untested and shoddy implementation, etc. We've got strikes popping up in the US as the months go on cause people are definitely feeling the shittification of things in multiple industries including tech and entertainment as of late.
Everything tech companies like meta have been doing in the last several years is looking for their next growth fix to keep their investors happy while running their business like a toddler between sweets.
Elon happened to set Twitter on fire, Instagram is failing to beat TikTok in short form content or even competing with things like YouTube, Facebook itself has been shriveling up over the years, now there's some cool new tech space in the Fediverse and no corporates taking advantage of it - probably looks like early crypto to Zuck if he can swoop in and outpace the open source projects with enough funding.
Is it just user activity that's public? Curious to know about what is preserved on the backend, like if user removed posts/etc get stored somewhere accessible like this too.
Have a nice blue up arrow for support
