This is why they want to regulate AI

#nostr

Prediction:
MSM will join bluesky
Alt-MSM will go full-tilt on nostr
In the long run, The fediverse will be the thunderdome of people who refuse to completely toe-the-line between the previous two camps.

@vriska@lizards.live Why do you think that?

@vriska@lizards.live Gab has stuck around, depending on your metric for "big". Tiktok is a huge success even.

@vriska@lizards.live Fair enough, though I think both nostr and bluesky are different beasts than gab or tiktok. The goals are differnt than just being another social media site and I'd bet on both being around in three years (feel free to call me out on it)

In my opinion, bluesky's weakness is if it can attract enough big names that gets enough people to join, and nostr's weakness is probably relay management, and fragmentation as everyone joins their own l33t paid relays.

@vriska@lizards.live You'd be shocked at how many people are fooled into thinking that systems are inherently better if cryptocurrency is involved and many of them are "normal twitter and facebook users".

If you subject yourself to browsing nostr, you would be stunned at how many people think zaps to custodial wallets is bitcoin and not know any better.

Whoah. That's some hard truth there.

@thatguyoverthere@shitposter.club It's overtly part of an ongoing war against general-purpose computing. ...a compiler under lock and key.

Terrible trope perpetuated by those with no understanding of justice.

@parker@pl.psion.co @graf@poa.st This is why we should replace the left/right - auth/lib political compass with moral/amoral - honour/dishonour.Interesting concept.

Don’t use Mastodon. It’s a waste of your time.

The servers are banning each other and it’s turned into a bunch of nasty SJWs on one side and their counterparts, the Nazis and Child Pornographers on the other.

There’s nowhere for an anti-dogmatic Atheist Left-Libertarian with a sense of humor.

Dogma traps people into beliefs that are absolutely insane. And they never justify those beliefs with any evidence. No, things have to be this way “because they’ve always been that way”.https://baronhk.wordpress.com/2023/04/20/a-bunch-of-mastodon-posts-from-mstdn-social-were-deleted-for-fake-news-and-violent-and-harassing-and-i-was-finally-banned-heres-a-few/

@alex@gleasonator.com Time travel CONFIRMED!

It's funny seeing people on substack notes call anti-authoritarian leftists reactionaries because they won't bend the knee to technocratic fascism.

For all the shade mastodon users get, they're usually a breath of fresh air compared to their big tech counterparts.

@thatguyoverthere@shitposter.club
I wrote up a post which attempted to explain that nicely, I have half a mind to screenshot your post and just put it on notes.

@thatguyoverthere@shitposter.club
I wrote up a post attempting to put that...nicely.
I'm very tempted to just throw a screenshot of this on SS notes.

@thor@berserker.town is anything like that going on in any US states?Systematic lowering of life expectancy

@thor@berserker.town
People can fight about the causes, but it's happening.
