Somehow even this position is giving the dude too much credit.

Now say it again but replace crytpocurrecy with Website aggregation. Its honestly not that different from leaving the big centralized reddit for the Fediverse… only to mostly end up in a few relatively huge alternatives in the name of decentralizing. Its just… human nature.

Nah the courts can void an arbitration clause and group the claims into a class action lawsuit when such ““exraordianry”” circumstances arise that make it impossible to settle claims through arbitration.

Activity Pub is the open source platform that Lemmy Kbin Mastodon Beehaw and all the rest of the Fediverse is running on top of.

Except… that’s not what they say anywhere. In fact they wrote three nuanced essays that explain in detail their philosophy, and lay out that you CAN be critical of something (i.e. feminism) in a nice way that acknowledges your humanity and the humanity of others, and that if Feminists come in and flame you over it, THOSE are the people who will be getting warnings and bans. They want a mature community that fosters mutual understanding when disagreements arise. So when someone says “feminism bad” like they have a 26 character limit that doesn’t exist, they see it not as disagreement but as disrespect.

I never knew the story behind the downfall of LiveJournal until now. It’s eerie to me how you can draw these direct lines between the continuous cycle in digital spaces and the state of the offline world today.

Lol, I can’t believe what I’m reading. Reddit admitting to the mod community that they have a duty to keep spaces “accessible to users.” They’ve had 20 years to keep their spaces accessible to people who require screen readers and so on. It’s been crickets until this week.
