Well firstly, virtue signaling is not fundamentally a bad thing. Devil is in the details.
Second, that’s kinda rich coming from the guy who’s been nothing but virtue signaling towards the upcoming Trump admin since his failed assassination attempt.
I have investigated the idea and came to the conclusion that immutable distros are essentially a research project. They attempt to advance the state-of-art a slight bit but the cost is currently too great.
Perhaps somebody will some day create something that’s worth switching to. But I don’t think that has happened yet, or is happening with any of the current distros. Silverblue might become that with enough polish, but I feel that to get that amount of polish, they would have to make Silverblue the 1st class citizen, i.e. the default install of Fedora.
Interesting way to be wrong. While thinking you’re being correct.
All of these applications (yes, also Lemmy and Mastodon) are feed for the AI machine. That’s where the money is.
And ads probably.
I mean it kinda already is a Twitter, just 5 years in the past.
His grand vision remains to leave Mastodon users in control of the social network, making their own decisions about what content is allowed or what appears in their timelines.
So uh… Mastodon will not have a moderation team?
I mean this makes sense, but how exactly is after-stopping-moderation Meta different then?
Then stop doing that, ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
There’s a marked difference between being the only non-anonymous person in a group of anonymous people and being a non-anonymous person in a group of other non-anonymous people.
In other words, no way am I even pretending to be that brave.
Perhaps a) social media should not be anonymous and b) death threats should be illegal. I know I’m stating super obvious things here but given how this is still a thing…
If those people could follow logical trains of thought, we wouldn’t have any of these problems in the first place.
Good call.
How to delete is not the problem. That’s the trivial part. In fact, you don’t even need to delete your account. Just stop using it and it’s practically the same effect.
The problem is how to get your friends and acquintances out of there. Lots of things are there and only there. Like for instance, it’s my jujitsu club’s main place of information. If I quit FB, I will no longer know what’s happening there.

Sure that would be a much better situation than the current free-for-all and practically no control possibilities for the parents – short of never giving them physical access to devices.
Ah, right. It’s possible yes that this would make it easier for them, but my understanding of technology is that it was pretty much possible like 10 years ago to track practically everyone who isn’t actively doing a countermeasures against it.
This is a terrible idea, and only makes it 10x easier for surveillance capitalism to track, profile, and propagandize the entire population.
I don’t see how that follows. Can you elaborate?
