Stay tuned for more useless language facts!
It feels like people only watch pornography in order to satisfy their sexual desires by viewing someone sexually from an external position, while people watch violent shows to feel the thrills of the person from an internal point of view.
Of course, but the entire purpose of pornography is kind of to reduce people to sexual objects, isn’t it?
I dunno, in a lot of conversations amongst men it seems like women are simply thought of as sexual objects, with the rest largely forgotten. Does not seem very healthy to me.
So much this. Federation doesn’t necessarily mean that other content has to be treated identically to one’s own; if everything is just a big mix small instances don’t make much sense for the user. Federation was supposed to make small cozy communities possible through freedom of movement, not kill them by drowning them out with generic content.
Slightly off topic: I kinda wish Lemmy would set the first link in text posts as the post link, that would really help integration with other platforms.
Fair enough, thanks for the response. I highly appreciate your work!
But I mean, Laurens Hof… And additionally, Mastodonians are not unfrequently exposed to Guppe groups, which work on the same mechanic.
As Flipboards Magazines do not easily map onto the structure that other fediverse platforms use. The closest analogue might be PeerTube’s Channels, which also don’t federate.
Has Laurens never heard of kbin?
“i am an instance admin/mod on the fediverse. by signing this pact, i hereby agree to block any instances owned by meta should they pop up on the fediverse. project92 is a real and serious threat to the health and longevity of fedi and must be fought back against at every possible opportunity”

You can follow Threads accounts after clicking through a warning.
People who don’t follow those same people won’t see their posts.
You have to manually approve followers from Threads.
Basically, it puts Threads in quarantine, without cutting off all connections.
Oh lol they changed the interface. Just a day ago or so the colours were the opposite.
edit: proof
It’s important to note that XMPP is used no less than it was before Google messed around with it (I for one use it). It’s just that it was going to get mainstream when Google got into it, but then Google did Google things and killed the project, making it seem like Google killed the entirety of XMPP.
Tumblr’s plans, too, are met quite warmly, just as federation should be. Corporate players are very unlikely to destroy Fedi due to its distributed nature, and are generally going to improve reach and strengthen the trend of federated social networks. It’s just that people and admins simply don’t want to have anything to do with the absolute shit show that is Meta.

Personally I’d never join such an instance, but I think it’s completely understandable for admins to do so since it makes moderation a lot more manageable.
Or simply in a third-world country kept in extreme poverty by global capitalism.
I don’t think so. ActivityPub only fetches content if someone follows you, which you would have to manualy approve.
Hey – they’ve got trains! But on a more serious note, I do think there are people who want to see the more in-depth political discussion on there. And I’m just saying, it makes joining quite a bit more complicated, and seeing how many people are put off by the sheer existence of different instances, I think it does decrease the ease of entry for many.
I am quite young, so most of my knowledge of the social conditions of the past comes from literature, which is of course a pretty bad source. But it really seems like it is much more normalised nowadays for men to view women as sexual objects.
