Like plained clothes guy with weapons start to break into my property? I’m shooting.

How has an ice agent not been shot yet

My unpopular opinion is that we should federate with threads. “Embrace extend extinguish” would depend on existing fediverse users migrating to threads. Quite frankly, I don’t see that happening. In fact, if there’s no federation, there’s more incentive to use threads to have a presence.

Embrace extend extinguish, if done on the fediverse, may cause an uptick in signups on other instances, and when extinguished, a portion of those users would leave.

With the Google Chat / XMPP thing, people were using Google Chat, had xmpp support, it was cool, then google pulled the rug so users seemingly dropped.

I don’t think Meta has enough goodwill at all to even convince it’s own users to return to it’s platforms these days. I think Bluesky is more of a risk as it claims to be decentralised to rope people in, but isn’t.

Why would they protest and make it opt in? The whole point of the fediverse is that your posts are completely public. Literally anyone and anything can scrape it, your server would hand it to them on a silver platter. That’s the point.

What’s wrong with wordpress

I don’t think they do. Probably just go for a popular opinion

I’ve had AI flat out lie to me before. Or get confused. Once told me that King Charles III married Queen Camilla in 1974.

Sky ad technology can be developed out of the good of someone’s heart. Maybe to show emergency alerts quickly. Disaster warnings. But then, it gets in the wrong hands.

We could say similar stuff about the internet. I don’t think Tim Berner’s Lee had bad intentions when founding the World Wide Web. It’s a double edged sword. Same has happened with a lot. I even believe that God’s sacrifice on the cross- an act of perfect love for all humanity- has been misused to control, manipulate and abuse. The guy who created dynamite wanted it to be used for safer mining practices, not a weapon. Many things we make as humans seems to be invented for good, but used for evil

Internet advertising wasn’t initially that bad either. People would pay to have a button for their site to appear on another page. Or a video to play on a streaming site. Then someone thinks “let’s actually make more relevant ads appear. This video is about videogames, let’s show a videogame ad.” Then: “We can see what videos this user likes, so we can get an idea that they like videogames, so let’s show them videogame ads, even on other videos”. And it eventually morphed into “We can see this user visited this videogame shop 1 month ago thanks to our other maps service. Let’s show them adverts for that shop’s sale”. It’s just crazy.

I used to deliberately drop syrup between pavement cracks and watch in entertainment as an ant came up, started drinking it, then went back down and then a whole parade of ants would come up to help drink it.

Still not the technology at fault. Webapps for example are a good innovation. But it’s used for evil as well.

Depends on jurisdiction

Even then, age of consent doesn’t mean that viewing such content would be legal

Not the most related, but if Instagram becomes an issue, there is an Instagram patched app which is DMs only

It’s not the technology at fault, but the advertising industry

At least it’s not 1 16 or 1 14

If you get into a fight with someone and don’t know they are gay, palestinian or jewish, then it shouldn’t be possible to commit a hate crime in that scenario unless if it’s based on something else that you do know

So the equivalent to having your own Wikipedia page?

Yep
