This post has devolved into shit and filled with a bunch of whiners complaining about the same dumb shit that isn't a goal of this phone. Might as well whine the new iPhone doesn't cost under $400 for as reasonable of a complaint anything on this post is.

Of course, we have more traditional links and images in our search results too, which we largely source from Bing.

So I wasn't totally right in that it doesn't all come from Bing, but it largely does.

Tbf, if a job posting like that goes out, that is not a company you want to work for. It's a lot more rare for that scenario. The more problematic situation is a bunch of companies simply wanting years of experience but for entry level jobs with entry level pay.

I was gonna say I never heard of "dapp" before. Searched it and only crypto sites came up. I don't even think I like the phrase "decentralized app" as it is being used.

I mean, be careful, your post has violence and may be censored by some ISPs if they act the way you think they should.

I agree it's annoying and hopefully will one day soon not be necessary, but "degrading" is something I don't think ever occurred to me. Is there some aspect to having to get manually approved that is degrading that I'm not aware of?

Ha, you think a billboard in the US can put whatever they want? Try putting up a nude picture (trying to think of something that would be considered "overtly sexual") and seeing how long it stays up.

Depends how strong the movement really is. It can produce a martyr or it can produce a chilling effect. Some assassinations aren't even of overly successful movements.

Tbf, it says "a wolverine", not the wolverine. A wolverine is a real life animal.

Join a different instance. I never see swedish stuff. I still get to see Lemmy.world though.

Probably not. They're getting hit with heavy usage right now so are likely throttling everyone and you just hit that cap.

I think it's silly people are using arguments from pre-launch. If what I'm being told is true from what is being posted there, it's no doubt that it'll get defederated from most places fairly quickly. However, whether your instance federates with it or not will do nothing to address your concerns that are legitimate. You have nothing to fear from the algorithm or curation in any way. That won't affect you, federated or not. You also won't be drowned out either. That's not how federation works. Threads will dominate the narrative for a bit regardless of federation.

And your closing statement about "us" and "we" is culty and creepy. Don't speak for people you don't even know.

You want a server run by "one of you"? Run one yourself. You can do so for well under $100 a month (likely significantly lower depending on how snappy you want it).

I'm kind of tired of folks protesting against people hosting instances for others and entitled individuals making demands that they've done nothing to earn.

This has nothing to do with corporate. If you read what you linked, you'd know that full well. I'm guessing you didn't go more than that one link deep and didn't dive down to read the given reasons for the stance. Lazy.
