with the Fediverse being a couple million people

Yes thank you as I never see this being mentioned around here. I believe the last monthly active users was 300k? While it’s not nothing, meta doesn’t give any shit about a one time acquisition of 300k users who don’t want to use their platform.

We aren’t even “worth” extinguishing right now. These decisions are being made at a level far above us. We just don’t know why yet. I’m expecting them to use ActivityPub as a tie in for Threads/Insta/FB.

Next point equally dumb: no one owns the fediverse, sure. But if enough instances say no, that means they are not welcome. Democracy and all…

If you want to talk about democracy, technically they would have the most weight as they have the most active users.

that means they are not welcome.

Also to this specifically. Not a single CEO or threads user cares.

I can see a social media implementation of a communities section and feeding off lemmy that way. Essentially cloning reddit through their users and using lemmy communities content as a Kickstarter tool.

war against Hamas

lol sure against Hamas

Realistically this graph wouldn’t include Snapchat, as it’s less of a “social media” than the others. Most people nowadays use it strictly as a messaging platform.

Spam implies it’s useless but it seems I can read my content from Reddit on that instance? While also staying on a single app and getting my regular lemmy threads.

Not sure why it’s a problem other than resource intensity, if the users have the option to block an instance as a whole it’s fine.

I don’t agree with them creating bot accounts and commenting on other instances posts though. Everything should be maintained within the instance.

The app experience is much better than the browser experience imo

Not OP but mostly for when content on one gets DMCA’d.

I only have Eweka and haven’t had any trouble finding any TV series or movies. No experience with audio books though, but I’d expect similar results since audiobooks are probably less strict with dmca than movies. I also don’t think Eweka respects dmca takedowns.

This is actually the problem with mid sized communities. If there’s two political communities and their content is 70% overlapping then you’re obviously going to unsubscribe from one as your feed becomes cluttered. But then you’re missing that 30% of content from the other community.

Ghost cities are largely American propaganda and most have filled out to well urbanized areas. You can read quite a bit about it on the wiki

Right now the US military and NASA is in agreement that UAPs exist, there’s thousands of citizens interested in UAPs/NHI, yet not a single scientist in the past 75 years wanted to find the answer to what these UAPs are?

Science in itself is debunking trivial bullshit until you find a rock solid solution and right now we don’t have a solution.

Ofc they do but they’re compartmentalized as hell.

Why do you think Bill Nelson himself is a career politician, not a scientist? These are political figures in these positions, not scientists.

Unfortunately NASA is not being transparent here. They created a UAP task force and would not reveal who was heading it and when it is released it turns out to be someone who’s spent his career with the DOD/Defense contractors. Not a scientist. Why are we not letting scientists handle this matter?

NASA also says they want to work to destigmatize UAPs and NHI, yet Bill Nelson slanders Grusch (highly decorated US military serviceman) and speaks down on anyone promoting more transparency here. The minimization of Grusch’s testimony all while the DOD is withholding Grusch’s security clearance and essentially stonewalling congress. Lots of reasons enough for us to be suspicious of foul play behind government figures here.

Is it a for you based on your instance or based across all mastadon instances?

Have you checked out Health Sync? That’s what I used to sync before just syncing directly to Strava/Fit from Polar Beat

Ontop of this, that’s totally aside from safety, things just get done much much quicker due to less bureaucracy. Take any sort of rail system for instance, they’ve built ENTIRE rail systems (light and heavy) in the time it’s going to take Seattle to build 2 miles of lightrail.

It’s both cheaper and faster, while I don’t know the safety statistics I certainly don’t see train derailments happening left and right.

It turns out when you don’t cater to businesses and can relocate residents at their whim it has some advantages for better or worse depending on your perspective.

One single god God, perhaps what makes a god a god? I do believe we form a network or web of connected consciousness. Who’s contained within this web and how interactions work on it is where it gets interesting.

I think the problem with IPFS is it’s terribly inefficient with large and or dynamic data storages, the exact problem bittorent tackles(large not dynamic).

IPFS does seem to provide great p2p functionality for small static files though, albeit pretty slow.

Really your only answers are going to be based in economics.

A society can absolutely thrive with a 1:1 ratio, but not built around a capitalistic mindset. Quite frankly China’s probably the best person to have this problem and they ignore the whims of capitalism for their countries residents quite often.

Possible non-economic considerations could be not having enough people to build a military and lack of cultural exportation. Both of which China doesn’t really have any problems with.
