He is a representative in a republic... That's just a fact
It's also not the same as being a Republican

Eventually, they'll get one that's just really tan
- yes, by being a massively bigger instance their algorithm will have a huge impact on the feed algorithms on the fediverse side. If they show a post in their algorithm in threads, it will get massively more engagement due to just being shown to a larger user base
The only "solution" is granular federation - the fediverse side could treat them differently, say by having their posts and comments count less when building a feed... But that's easier said than done. Do they build a "threads ranking" feature into the core, or do they they give admins the tools to build specific configurations for federation?
It's definitely not present in Lemmy, and I don't believe Mastodon has it either. And on that topic...
- they have granular control over their own federation. They're a monolith where the fediverse isn't - if they want to sprinkle in fediverse content, it's much easier for them. If they want to publish only their most controversial content to the fediverse, they can. They can do it at any time telling no one
For example, there was a post claiming they're blocking toots referencing pixel fed. I don't know if it's true or not, but they easily could. And in doing so, they effectively derank those posts in the fediverse (see point 1)
- they could EEE conventionally, by extending the activity pub standard to serve their needs, or by making the fediverse reliant on their content then pulling away
There's a lot of ways they can leverage their size as a weapon. They're not another instance, they're a private monolith running their own code... And they have a terrible track record
They're not really a husk, they're doing all the things they ever did. And a lot more... Which we really wish they hadn't
Reddit is more like a twisted/undead version of a tech company... It's still moving and growing, it just has been taken over by the lust to corrupt the living and drain their sanity
Let's just give them a chance guys. They haven't done anything bad yet. It will help the fediverse grow. We need their content

And to turn dc into ac, you need to rotate a small singularity around the pipes of electricity. That's why inverters are so heavy
Well, you just have to convert wheels to motors. A car runs on wheels, which is 1/4 motors. A boat runs on motors, and has one, meaning it has 4 wheels and is probably street legal!
Fuck dayo. This sure sounds like gate keeping to me
Are you sure about that?
Because when a bunch of rich people lose money, public funds tend to find a way to make them whole
The system is rigged... Private gains and socialized losses. They don't lose, no matter how dumb they play the game
I literally said your stance is the norm, your first comment is still at 2 votes. No one else has engaged
Who are you arguing against?
You're victimizing yourself and shadow boxing in the corner.
You can wake up... That's what being "woke" actually means, always has. It's waking up from being an NPC
Honestly, couldn't CARE less. Autocorrect took a stand there...
Is lab grown meat more efficient? Not really. Is it cheaper? Not even close. Is it more ethical? Maybe?
Embrace the bean. Have a steak now and again... Make it an event.
Bean is protein. Bean is life.
When you put it like that....
I mean, obviously, things are fucked. But if Forbes is calling it out, that means mainstream media is having trouble spinning it. That gives me hope
Remember, the economy isn't real, it's a game of numbers we made the fuck up. We can just stop and play a better game, if even a third, maybe a quarter or less, of people just refuse to play
