Conceptually what does this offer that the fediverse/threadiverse/lemmy/piefed doesn’t?

What then does it say about the actual value of this company and others like it?

Somehow I don’t get the feeling the owners of Digg are going to be happy with the level of income Metafilter brings in to its owners however…

“We kind of opted for … let’s just keep building this plane as we fly it,” explained Digg CEO Justin Mezzell. “That means that it’s going to be very lightweight, and we’re just going to be aggressively shipping every week and just giving them new features as we go,” he added.

Ok, what content stream in what medium when viewed in a bulk popularity view like that isn’t 90% memes or equivalent?

I agree, I think something that has been lost in conversation about progressive politics and leftism more broadly (in US-centric circles at least) is that as much as people on the left disagree about absolutely everything, in general (with plenty of exceptions) politically left movements and cultural spaces tend to be far better at identifying common values and truths that are universal and holding individuals and communities to those values and truths.

Whereas on the right the endless stumping about valuing freedom of speech turns out to mostly be a mirage when it comes to innocent, vulnerable people being physically murdered on camera by the state, on the left institutions and individuals are much more often held to a standard of values and called out if they fail to reach it.

When people enter a space where progressive and left voices haven’t been systematically silenced and it is a new experience for them, they often react negatively and feel rebuked. I know some of my first encounters when I was younger with actually left spaces initially made me bristle with how willing they were to say no to things that weren’t healthy, to challenge oppressive structures even if they were so normalized they were invisible to me… it can be an uncomfortable process but ultimately more often than not leftist spaces actually try to do it and it that is a good thing.

I entirely agree with people having agency to decide when politics comes up on their feed and when it doesn’t, but the idea that we are all just being a bit too negative and obsessed with the news and we should cheer up is honestly insulting in 2026 given, you know gestures at everything. Everything is political, if you have the capacity to complain about being subject to “too much politics” be thankful for your capacity to experience that state of choice.

Also, and this is on a personal note, talking about politics doesn’t make me depressed, it helps me feel less depressed and anxious because I know other people feel similarly and the more educated I am about what is happening the less scared and confused I feel.

Why would they be doing it otherwise?

If passed the bill would create a new utility category called “consumer-regulated electric utilities” (CREUs), with companies who build their own independent power infrastructure falling under this new designation. In order to qualify for CREU, the utilities would have to be completed disconnected from the main grid and built solely to serve new electric loads.

What conservatives want is for us to treat them like babies with tiny little fragile baby beliefs that we have to coddle.

I don’t care if you think differently than me, what I care about is babies demanding we take their hateful and irrational ideologies seriously while they simultaneously target vulnerable groups with at a minimum hate speech and harassment.

If we coddle conservatives this place becomes less welcoming to new people, that is how it is.

I love how competent and thorough you think the people creating AI are.

AI is a self selecting industry of serial bullshitters, I am sure they claim to do all the things you say, but I am zero percent convinced of it until I see proof these kinds of anti-AI strategies don’t work.

What if we figured out the right prompt to get an AI to regurgitate its memorization of reddit and just copied that? Is that still theft if it was already stolen twice?

1. More then Reddit this place is an echo chamber for the far left anti capitalist crowd. While I don’t mind a discussion, everything over simplified to EAT THE RICH was getting tiresome.

That must be so difficult for you compared to all the wonderful corporate platforms full of rightwing hateful trolls who genuinely harass people.

Edit Actually after taking a step back and looking at how many thoughtful comments and conversations have happened on this thread, I am heartened.

There is a lot of passion here, we are just fighting against unbelievably strong currents.

Their business is B2B now.

That and mass surveillance such as with Palestine and Microslop’s Azure used by Israel to obscure individual culpability in deciding who to murder next.

Do you honestly think blanket restrictions on alcohol and cigarettes etc… actually work? In my experience they don’t.

Further this is a moral panic and distraction from actually addressing the problems, it will do nothing to keep kids safe and will just backfire when they search out even less safe alternatives.

Edit it is so perfectly fitting for the Linux community to respond with mostly criticisms and negations to these flowcharts I shared without a single negative commenter actually suggesting a different similar helpful resource for newbies to Linux who feel overwhelmed or adding something productive and helpful to the conversation.

Do better y’all.

You can’t condescend these resources and pretend with a handwave like there are better ones out there, you gotta prove it. If you are going to pick apart these charts then you gotta make a new chart or link me to a better one, I don’t care about your condescending minor criticisms of the specifics of the flowcharts, that is irrelevant input unless you are going to edit a flowchart and make a new one or add something else productive.

I feel like I am inside a meme making fun of Linux users right now lol.

Is this what hearing Vogon Poetry is like?

Republicans obviously take majority responsibility for this turd of a deal and the corrupt shifting of TikTok ownership to Trump’s buddies. But it can’t be overstated what an own-goal supporting this whole dumb thing was for Democrats, who not only helped Trump’s friends steal partial ownership of TikTok, they saber-rattled over a ban during an election season where they desperately needed young people to vote.

As I’ve spent years arguing, if these folks were all so concerned about U.S. consumer privacy, they should have passed a functional modern internet privacy law applying to all U.S. companies and their executives.

ActivityPub is extensible, though. As part of our E2EE program, Mallory, Tom and I adapted the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) standard as an extension of ActivityPub to make the MLS over ActivityPub specification. The protocol fits the great MLS E2EE system onto the ActivityPub API and federation protocol.

But a protocol specification is not enough; it must be implemented. That’s why we’re so happy to announce that the Sovereign Tech Fund has commissioned work with the Social Web Foundation to coordinate two new interoperable implementations of MLS over ActivityPub. This investment by the Sovereign Tech Fund will help move the Fediverse towards more privacy for social web users, no matter what server they use.

I gave two conference talks this year. In fursuit.

If that isn’t a flex I don’t know what is
