i think their point is if you want to comment make a google account and comment… or dont.

personally, it boggles the mind why anyone would want to do that.

beauty. this should make leaving to other fediverse platforms more attractive to that audience.

yep. people just don’t understand how big the universe is.

i didnt not vote non-fascist because of dejoy

thanks, dude

ive been waiting 30 years for them to end the ‘war on drugs’. or enact ‘universal health care’.

notice they let the post office get brutalized with irrational fiscal policies and have done nothing to stop it. hell, biden still hasnt removed the guy that was put in place to fuck it all up.

college costs an arm and a leg because the let student be victimized by student loans. they arent trying to stop that loan process. just clear out some old debts. half-assed at that.

theyve done almost nothing to simplify the tax paying process despite every other modern taxing country having it be automatic.

so many little bits they just dont give 2 shits about because money. because corporate interests.

be the change you want to see. offer alternatives to subs pissed about over moderation, ads and bot activity. some instances still let you create your own communities, like mine https://moist.catsweat.com

id go a step further and say you need to draw a sub to a specific community. its hard moving users though when reddit actually attempts to prevent it by banning you for trying.

A firehose relay takes TB’s of storage

which is similar nonsense which ActivityPub has with replicating whole datasets everywhere… cept its one company controlling the whole shebang. its a failure of design.

ive been asking about this for a long time. ive yet to be presented with a non-bluesky controlled relay instance. this is a lynch-pin of the protocol and prevents true federation.

happy to be proven wrong someday, but bluesky is just twitter with user-contolled nodes. they can decide to remove nodes at their whim.

i freakin love fast food, and as soon as covid hit i had to start a ‘blacklist’ of places that have gotten so bad (chipotle/tacobell/bugerking), its just not even kind of worth it.

fiveguys is one of my favorites as it did not change in any way.

theres also a critical ‘relay’ component required that so far only Bluesky runs, so not-so-federated.

there is no such thing as a 100% independent bluesky install to which people can attach also independent nodes (PDS).

you runnin your own relay or is it all ‘except the relay and appview’?

go lookup the tax rates in the 60s/70s. we used to

that friend from highschool you lost touch with but find out theyre a meth head living on the streets.

is this where we get to explain again why its not really ai?

dictators dont steal or take control. its handed to them.

i had this exact issue until i wiped my machine this summer and it refreshed into a full win11 after the crowdstrike debacle

i hate ms with every fiber of my being, but teams has gotten better. it used to be practically unusable. now its just mostly so

yeah that entire series was kind of mind fuck. i loved it
