Also looking at the projects he has created, saying that he has not delivered anything seems a bit… Imprecise.

Every project I know of on the Fediverse is a work in progress, and it’s always a question of prioritization. But Dansup has created, and continues to create, some amazing stuff. Even if he sometimes gets a bit ahead of himself in advertising stuff.

No need to worry about loneliness – Zuck is working on some really sophisticated chatbots for that. As for the future, I don’t think there’s much of it left to worry about at this point. ☀️

It’s on the elbow of the guy posing with a cigar and a handgun wearing sunglasses indoors in a pub, next to a bartender who is poking himself with a knife.

It’d be a decent parody of toxic masculinity if it wasn’t for the fact that this guy has, in fact, tattooed a confederate flag on his body. So I’m worried they might be serious, which makes me question a number of things.

(more on topic, I’d probably just get a pair of Fjällräven Keb Agile, but I know OP wants to explore other options)

Lots of posing with machine guns and confederate flag tattoos going on there for a European company. I guess they know their audience, but gosh what a turn-off.

Steal a little, and they put you in jail. Steal a lot, and they make you king.

My bet would be tax evasion and money laundering. ;)

It’s hard to wrap one’s head around just how freaking rich the mega wealthy are. The 1% is not even the enemy at this point, they are closer to most of us than they are to the billionaire class.

I think it must be seen not in light of the monetary blow, but in light of the fact that the EU is pushing hard for these actors to change directions and to end some of their abusive behaviour.

Traffic fines are made to bankrupt drivers or to finance the state, but to encourage people to drive safely.

I just put together my first feed today, collecting more than 60 US protest communities into one feed: https://piefed.social/f/50501

In the drop-down menus on top I can choose between either the communities I’m subscribed to, or the feeds I subscribe to. I can subscribe to public feeds compiled by other users, including users on other PieFed instances. I can also make a private feed if I don’t feel like sharing it.

It’s pretty great. Would absolutely recommend.

There are two main instances:
https://piefed.social/ and https://feddit.online/
There’s no mobile app/APK support at the moment, but it’s coming soon.

I think everyone is always interested in improving, but there are a billion different ideas of what improvement looks like. Especially with content moderation.

What is a brilliant way to handle some issues might cause new problems that may or may not be difficult to predict. A lot of people have a lot of ideas, and people feel strongly about it. And most importantly, it’s a lot of work to implement and typically not the most fun work for developers who tend to be be underpaid at best anyway.

It seems every fediverse service that gets big enough has people chanting about a hard fork because the developers don’t care enough about content moderation. I believe it’s probably more that it’s extremely difficult, and that developers facing the reality of the situation might come across as dismissive when responding to ideas and suggestions.

The Lemmy developers initially included a filter for numerous slurs - I have a hard time believing they don’t want content moderation to be their own vision of as good as possible.

In the end our strength is in fragmentation. I believe, no matter how little moderation tools improve, the small instances I’m on will never get as awful as Reddit. And if they do, I’ll migrate to another one that’s more trigger-happy about defederating. :)

That said, not sure whether you’re wrong and absolutely not correcting you! Just my five cents.

Mbin is very community oriented in it’s development, collective decision-making and all that. Lemmy is more subject to the ideas of it’s creators, for better or for worse.
