I wonder what that looks like fleshed out a little, though. Is that a mandatory or voluntary payment? And by paying for what they use is that per message or per month like a subscription?

Exactly.
But do we trust entities that depend on our governments for funding? It could be argued that they’re fundamentally compromised.
Maybe within whatever bubble this article is aimed at, but I think it will be the vast minority who get that. But, we should push for it all around the world.
Upvoted bc VC eventually means enshittifiication. But with xz getting back-doored recently, what is the middle ground that keeps these things sustainable financially and operationally?
True, but the format is unique. The post format breaks up the flow of chatter into easily discernible units of conversation.
IRC, Discord and others have the continuous stream of thought with no beginning or end. On the other extreme, Instagram and TikTok require an image or video to post at all.
So I would say that FB groups have a distinct utility / identity separate from just other users being there.
Does that third also take into account any differences in manufacturing them? In other words, the entire lifecycle.
I don’t understand how the eye movement camera fits in to the experiment. I was wondering if any stories, even audiobooks and TV series have the same effect but I’m no clearer from reading the article.
It is. I’d love to see it without the text too.
Best skin I’ve seen on any social site. Nice job.
Just because it’s not tailored to your personal preferences doesn’t make it “shit”. For anyone who doesn’t want to manage code, Wordpress is worth considering.
Personally, I’d like to maintain Wordpress locally and offline. Then each update exported to the server as a static site. I just haven’t found a thorough enough tutorial online yet.
I’ve been seriously thinking of building an LGBT bar. Does anyone know where I can purchase gay bricks?
The only people arguing for it omit moral considerations, which is sad to see so widespread. There’s a certain price not worth paying for our toys.
I’m not having a conversation that compares people signing up to their favourite social media channel with people who suffer systemic discrimination every day in their lives.
It’s not being mean to them. Calling them names or something would be mean.
And they are not oppressed. Oppressed people don’t have choices.
But you support/validate the service by interacting with your contacts.
If a Mastodon instance was run by someone who allowed a genocide to be fuelled by their platform, and earn money from the advertising, I think we’d defederate in a heart beat. It just doesn’t seem consistent to federate with them.
But they are inseparable.
Threema.ch already do this. Maybe that’s the answer?
