Now you’re roughly getting how I felt reading the comment from OP!

80% over 24 is pretty solidly an “old people thing.”

As an old man I demand those 20% get off my facebook and turn down that 101 gecs!

I am so glad I left this bubble for a spell, because it’s fun to come back and see all the great new propaganda tactics being floated. Blue maga is hilariously internet! Love that for you.

Anywho, blaming the dems for trump winning, and ignoring all the people who voted for him is not coping, but pointing out that cities are liberal havens is?

I guess I’ll get back to focusing on my job instead of lemmy nonsense, because this place has always been completely unreasonably biased nonsense. My job is in a blue state whose taxes pay for the welfare of the rest of this shithole of a country, after all, so if I don’t do it, those trump supporters can’t buy his merch!

It’s not. My family is anti-trump, and mostly harmless these days.

But blaming the democrats for the people who voted republican is a stupid online trick that both sidesers like to use.

The fact is, if the democrats were “more in touch with this country” they’d all act like Trump. That’s what this country wants. That’s what this country deserves.

Darn, the world is getting shittier and shittier and I’m all out of Claridryl!

Or it shows that when you are truly awful, racist, homophobic, transphobic, idiots, your children move away from you to the cities where they don’t have to talk or interact with you, which concentrates the intelligent and worthwhile portion of the population into blue centers that aren’t evenly distributed across the electoral college?

That’s why I take Claridryl!

A mild copyright violation based on a system designed around the constant distribution of copies of things is NOT a parable about sexual violence, people.

I feel like this extremely insensitive rape take is the fediverse’s version of the Godwin Law.

Probably like this stuff: https://lanua.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/La-Nua-100ml-Naturally-Flavored-Cucumber-Aloe-Water-Based-Lubricant-Front-Gray-BG.jpg

This reference is so old, that Johnny 5 must be dead by now.

Keep pants on! Got it!

Today I learned I’m a fabulous dish!

Why bother with that? If you need shoes to dissolve, regardless of the materials, just subject them to my foot sweat for a few months.

I think it was a one or two day thing, but it was glorious!

The fediverse has a built-in search engine?

I can only comment on my experience searching for communities in lemmy and people to follow on mastadon, but in both cases I am not sure I’d say “works quite well” would describe my experience.

But also that’s not what I think OP was talking about.

They want a search engine for a random fact like google. It’s been long true that you need to add “reddit” to the end of any google search to find the info you needed.

It’d be nice to have a fediverse alternative.

The link seemed to work for me from lemmy. I see three posts there when I click it at least.

Those well-meaning-but-terrible-in-practice consumer protection laws are probably a good indicator of why the EU isn’t a hub of technological innovation.

They’re at least a symptom of the same underlying outlook on the industry.

I don’t know the answer but they pointed this out further in the press release:

However, it’s also important for us that Mastodon is one of the few, if not the only social media platform that operates out of the EU, and we would like to keep it that way.

I’d assume that this is for a reason, too. If it were advantageous to run your company out of the EU people would probably do so sometimes.

It’s not the reviewer’s fault! When they asked ChatGPT to peer review the paper it found nothing wrong.

You are describing the current situation in the fediverse, not a problem caused by the idea proposed.

Allowing for federated identity would also imply allowing migration of identity, which wholly prevents what you just described.

The current system is guaranteed to have larger instances where people won’t want to leave because doing so abandons your identity.

If I could move around the fediverse freely I would do so, but that is not a feature that is supported so I stick to the largest instance which happens to be the one I chose. I am not unique in this. Obviously, or this instance wouldn’t be so large.

Offering federated identity is only a better situation than today.
