i prefer using mastodon on public devices tbh idk if public network infrastructures would wig out if they saw all the instance i connect to lol
@fckreddit @yogthos The #UK sounds like an awful place to use modern technology
If I ran a big tech company I’d pull out of the country entirely tbh
@dingus Interesting, I could see why foreigners donating could inflate the popularity of the cause. But do people in the #USA really care that much? Most English language coverage of the event has been both poor and scant, especially here in the #USA. I had to translate French language news outlets to figure out what actually happened
@lenux12343 I’d presume that #Putin will likely pull out of #Ukraine entirely if he doesn’t win soon (within the next two-three weeks), looking at the support #Prigozhin was able to get among the citizens of #Russia
@moridinbg @badbrainstorm First time, huh?
(I’m in the #USA, we’ve seen this circus before)
@Pacifist @TheAnonymouseJoker #Lemmy in general, and lemmy.ml in particular, is known for white-knighting for dictators tho, so this isn’t all too unexpected tbh
Although I guess in most cases they wait for the dictator to die first so that people forget how bad he was
@someguy3 @TheButtonJustSpins Same thing happens to me but I’m on #Mastodon
@jherazob I care more about the effects than intent in this case.
#Meta’s #Threads / #Barcelona / #Project92 doesn’t have the ability to do anything actually negative to the #Fediverse except potentially overload small instances with a flood of traffic.
I don’t get the fearmongering; lots of talk about “breaking the #Fediverse” coming from people who aren’t really doing a good job of articulating how exactly a new #Fediverse software–because that’s all this is at the end of the day–will break an entire network of software that already works with each other.
what the heck makes you think that all the #Fediverse users are just gonna leave for #Meta because federation with it is “annoying”? lol
@MyMulligan @jherazob I disagree.
I think the key thing is to just make sure that you don’t use non #FOSS clients. #GoogleTalk started as a client for #XMPP, people migrated to it, and then #Google dropped support for #XMPP. If so many people didn’t use #GoogleTalk, the #XMPP network would have remained unimpeded.
@fu @GizmoLion @1337tux @DerWilliWonka @TheAngryBad I’m not on board with the selling part tbh, but I like the bot idea, it worked for #Reddit like the guy said
@GizmoLion @1337tux @TheAngryBad @DerWilliWonka I am on board with this
@kamenoko As a #Christian, Jesus is alive (just in Heaven, not on Earth) and yes, He would flip tables over both, most likely.
@const_void Doesn’t #CBN peddle the prosperity gospel and other heresies?
It is sad that he died but I’m not going to pretend that a network broadcast a fake gospel is a net positive for #Christianity.
@JoYo I’m not seeing anything in the article linking #eChirp to the #Fediverse
@LA71 That’s a bit of a joke on the French, they’re good at being freaky and weird
