    Fediverse sounds gross

  • TikTok being banned is good. Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter should be banned as well. Closed, source, manipulative and harmful algorithms should be banned and these apps all use dark patterns in their design.

    The fediverse and open social networks where the algorithms are open source and well understood and the user is allowed to choose their own algorithms is the only safe way to use social media.

  • It is political, every other Democrat doesn’t want to be punished by voters for being the party that banned tik tok.

  • They don’t want Trump to get the credit for overturning the ban. So. Ow they are trying to rush it so that Biden can try to take credit.

  • I Ditched the Algorithm for RSS—and You Should Too - Joey's Hoard of Stuff

    Jump

  • I mean you have to subscribe to a feed to be able to see it and I don’t see how RSS could sync a feed you don’t even know about. I suppose if someone started a platform that everyone used to sync their feeds then people could uncover content from the RSS feeds of other users but that seems to take the really simple out of really simple sync (RSS)

  • I Ditched the Algorithm for RSS—and You Should Too - Joey's Hoard of Stuff

    Jump

  • The problem isn’t the algorithm just because it’s an algorithm, even chronological sort is technically an algoritim.

    The problem is closed source algorithms with no user choice that implement dark patterns and other addictive and psychologically abusive tactics to make users engage with their app as much as possible

  • What is hexbear?

    Jump

  • They are two of the larger instances so you will be negatively impacting your own experience.

    To answer original question, it’s my understanding that hexbear was a refuge place for elchapotraphouse when it was banned from Reddit for harassment. So many users are trolls that intentionally antagonize anyone outside their instance that isn’t left enough. Lemmy.world almost immediately defederated from them so I haven’t seen a hexbear user in like year and a half. You won’t miss them.

    Some people also don’t like lemmy.ml because of the admins and some of the more antagonistic users but for the most part, I find most people on .ml perfectly agreeable of the topic isn’t politics. I would just block users and communities from that instance as they come up if you don’t like them

  • Why not ban both if we are concerned about the harms of algorithmic content?

  • US finalizes rule to effectively ban Chinese vehicles, which could include Polestar

    Jump

  • China subsidizes their infrastructure and industries which is why they are able to produce cheaper than domestic.

    There really isn’t a good answer in these kind of trade wars other than outright banning, tariffs, or heavy subsidies to your own industry.

    In these cases countries are determining national security concerns outweigh environmental concerns. Not saying it’s right or wrong but that’s where we are

  • [Gamers Nexus] Investigation: GamersNexus Files New Lawsuit Against PayPal & Honey

    Jump

  • I think we can agree that modifying a cookie such as that Honey does to steal commissions and blocking a cookie in its entirety as a security or privacy measure are material different actions.

    So I find the concerns that Honey getting sued and having to pay damages could open up ad blockers to getting sued overblown.

    You can quantify damages equal to the amount of commissions paid on purchases actually made in Honey’s case (and on the consumer side with the difference in discounts provided by Honey withholding the best coupons it claims to provide)

    You can’t quantify damages made by blocking ads or tracking cookies as advertisement and tracking doesn’t directly translate to sales

  • [Gamers Nexus] Investigation: GamersNexus Files New Lawsuit Against PayPal & Honey

    Jump

  • There is no reason why the complaint can’t be specific to modifying just attribution and commission cookies. And ad blockers mostly work by blackholing DNS request to ad servers and manually editing DOM and removing elements that load content from known ad services. If an ad blocking extension modifies cookies it’s typically just blocking them entirely (something every browser has built in) not editing them.

  • Free Our Feeds: "it will take independent funding and governance to turn Bluesky’s underlying tech—the AT Protocol—into something more powerful than a single app"

    Jump

  • Or you can bridge your account using bridgyfed and be on both with one account. This what I’m currently doing to access some a bluesky and make some of it accessible to me on mastodon. I really wish more people on bluesky would opt into the bridge at least, technology connections is one of the few that are interesting that have bridged. (He was on mastodon but decided to forego that to just bridge his bluesky account to the fediverse
