By we he means, them and their wealthy friends, and the celebrities they paraded during the last campaign. Struggling people can eat dirt.

The dems were never left wing in international standards. otherwise you would already have had universal health care.

You don’t win an election just with vibes.

Kamala didn’t bring as much substance as what the left electorate was expecting from her, and couldn’t differentiate herself from Biden and the current term she is serving under. The whole democratic party went under because all they promise is vibes compared the current economical struggles people are facing.

Mozilla keeps digging Firefox’s grave, and seeing how other opensource projects like Gimp struggle to even keep up with their own release schedule and very slow development rate. I fear we will be left with only chrome to use.

They removed russian maintainers that are associated with sanctioned companies

Your are voluntarily spreading fake news and you are getting upvoted for that !

They have removed every person they suspected to be russian or have a russian “.ru” domain name in their email from the maintainers list.

I wasn’t referring to racism. Race and Nationality are almost the same thing, people can’t chose in what community they were born in. and not everyone has the means to move.

don’t be pedantic, what about the Chinese, south-Africans, north-Koreans, Cubans, …etc

So the Rest of the world should trust CIA, NSA contributions but not Russia’s FSB ? come on , opensource should be tolerant towards all espionage agencies no matter their skin color.

I took full advantage of invidious while it was still working, now I am anxious of ever going back to YouTube. It won’t be long before they requiring giving them your iris scan before watching a video on that shit platform.

Corporations and commercial interests taking over the internet is inevitable. the only free corners left are the darknets with tor/i2p. but because the normies can’t bother use that isn’t falshy and trendy, there might not be any other chance to replace this decrepit boring dystopia.

According to your handle, it might be you who is intersted in that sort of shit, but you are instead reflecting it on others.

You kinda intentionally ignoring my point, I was asking for suggestion of different models, even different protocols if they exist. not instance - community - moderation based ones.

Do you need to pay for those relays, or register with those relays like you to on lemmy to be able to post ?

can you move your account from one relay to another ?

Are ther modded communities or subreddits like they are on lemmy ?

Do you need an app to be constantly connected in the background like briar messenger or all content is hosted on the relays?

No I want people to be able to block my post just as I can block other people’s posts, but I don’t need a moderator to block either my posts or other people’s posts to be seen by everybody else engaging in that discussion, thread, theme, hashtag, what ever you name it.

When blocking is done at an individual level it doesn’t silence or shutdown views or ideas from the discussions, every individual is free to not engage with people or ideas they don’t agree with, but they shouldn’t have the power to block those ideas for everybody else.

No this federation experiment is at the end for me.

I don’t believe in the federation model anymore. I was looking for a p2p protocol like a big bitorrent swarm, something more decentralized where no one has power over the discussions. I want to filter the content I want to consume. I dont’t need someone else to decide what I should or should not read. I was hoping for an open network where every node have the same leverage and you only mod your own feed.

You can’t escape moderation and censorship in lemmy. If a moderator of a certain big community has a certain heavy bias towards a subject and moderates accordingly. you are just bared from such discussions. communities suffer from the same network effects as social media do. I can take heat and shitty people but I can’t stand silencing.

I might check nostr. is it app relient ??

Western countries especially US UK Germany France CANADA, are all complicit in this genocide happening in Gaza.

Statcounter numbers are to be taker with boulders of salt. you can look at many metrics and especially when you filter by country. you will see a lot of erratic unexplained changes. jumping down and then a few months lather up by sometimes up to double digits.

will there be hunger games at the ISS if supplies run thin ?

thin laptops and LED Disco Cases killed CD-readers anyways. it’s a shame to loose a cheap way of making media archives, but it is what it is.
