I'd appreciate it if everyone could just stop burning fossil fuels, please. Thank you for your cooperation.

  • That's not how it was as of yesterday when I signed up just to see what all the fuss was about. (I don't think I'll be participating.)

  • Bluesky, the Fediverse, and the future of social media

    Jump

  • Bluesky: You are immediately and automatically welcomed into the warm embrace of an algorithm that entices you into a parasocial relationship with the synthetic community it has created.

    Mastodon: If you're lucky you'll stumble across a warm welcome for new users explaining how posts are called toots here, likes are called florps, and our version of Grok is called Garfiald.

  • What’s the difference between Mastodon, Bluesky, and Misskey?

    Jump

  • It's the culture of an instance that makes the difference, not which software it runs, but there is often a correlation. Misskey tends to get more people who appreciate cute emoji and comfy vibes.

  • I thought maybe it was just my imagination that it's been really slow since Wednesday, but you can see it clearly on the charts at the bottom of the page there.

  • We need to overcome those obstacles, otherwise we'll get so soft and stupid and distracted by nonsense that we willingly opt for fascism.

  • What do people that are for the first time moving to a place where is snows need to know?

  • Cross-country skiing is fun! I think so, anyway. Take it easy, don't expect to be super good at it right away, et cetera, but maybe try out whichever winter sports appeal to you. What everyone else said, but also don't forget to go outside and enjoy yourself sometimes.

    These are interesting times. Never before have we seen a nazi rally with Jews, Blacks, and Indians as speakers

  • Fuck paraphyletic groups

    Jump

  • Believing people who say that sort of thing about the meaning of perfectly cromulent words like "fish", "bird", and "berry" is like going to the butcher shop to learn about horsemanship.

  • Bipedal forehead-aliens rate, per series

  • Airport introduces time limit on hugs

    Jump

  • This airport tried to be cutesy and put up a sign limiting "hug time" instead of a more generic time limit. Have you ever heard of a "full English breakfast"? We'll tell you all about it. There's a café in Tokyo which discourages socializing. Find out why! People in China have pets. Isn't that cute! Here's a great tourist attraction in Turkey! Not into that? How about a video game museum in Kyoto instead? Or a theme park in Orlando? But why stop there? Here are some other links to random news tidbits.

    It's like one of those daytime TV talk shows in text form.

  • What is the first good thing that comes to mind when reading this question?

    Jump

  • Athena, goddess of wisdom, olives, and weaving.

  • How Will Lemmy and Social Media Handle Advanced Bots in the Future?

    Jump

  • Did an AI write that, or are you a human with an uncanny ability to imitate their style?

  • Tantacrul mentions onboarding problems with average people learning to switch to the fediverse as an alternative to Facebook

    Jump

  • People have to understand the concept of the fediverse

    That's the argument. Do they, though? I sure didn't when I first signed up.

  • Tantacrul mentions onboarding problems with average people learning to switch to the fediverse as an alternative to Facebook

    Jump

  • Okay I watched the few seconds of video at the end of a three-hour long video apparently about Facebook where he mentions "federated social media using open decentralized technologies such as activitypub" as it is known. The ratio of time and effort he's inclined to devote to each topic speaks for itself. My understanding of what he says: "Sounds complicated. I'm not touching it until all my friends are already there."

    Jump

  • I'm not saying you're a nazi, but if you think the main problem with social media is that everyone calls you a nazi you should consider the possibility that you might be.

  • Thought this would be good here

    Jump

  • Okay then. Thank you for resolving the dilemma of remaining ignorant or having "wolf erotica" in my search history.
