No. Generally I don’t do things that I feel are wrong or unethical, and I know that there are plenty of people doing bad things in society right now and that I’m not one of them.

Alright, I’ve changed my description to “peer-to-peer”.

So far, I’ve tried and enjoyed:

• Mastodon, a twitter-like microblogging platform
• Peertube, a peer-to-peer youtube-like video posting and streaming platform
• Pixelfed, an instagram-like image sharing platform
• Matrix, a federated IRC-style chatroom protocol (not really fediverse/activitypub, but still interesting)
• Wafrn, a tumblr-like with support for Bluesky’s AT protocol too!
• Misskey, a unqiue social platform with lots of features, very popular with the Japanese art crowd
• Mbin, another reddit-like with lots of interesting features and a nice interface.

And there are still plenty more that I haven’t really tried yet! The fediverse is pretty huge!

As for recommending specific sites, that’s a bit harder since it’s healthy that not everybody is on the same server. So I would just recommend picking a reasonably popular server with open registration.

We must protect little Billy from seeing tits, so he can keep laser focus on preparing for the next school shooting.

If it doesn’t have an algorithm aren’t you responsible for what you’re seeing?

I see your local profile here on fedia with no contact. When I try to click though I get a https warning. I don’t have the app though…

Here we go again, tariff schizo 2026 edition.

I’ll not sure Spencer had been doing a great job, but this feels incredibly abrupt and makes me wonder if Xbox’s next generation hardware plans are cancelled in favor of a software and AI approach. The new CEO being an AI suit makes me think they want to take shit it a very different direction.

This sorry sack of shit makes Ajit Pai look good in retrospect. 🤮

But with that said, it probably is good to have at least a little pushback on presidential authority right now

This is as attempt to save Trump from himself moving towards the election.

Prince Andrew is right there, mate.

Porn angle notwithstanding, if nothing else, this should be taken as a sign of the fragility of the Fediverse, and a warning that server communities which are only administrated by a single person (who could get hit by a bus at any time) can disappear in an instance. In order to make the Fediverse more robust against stuff like this, we really need servers and communities to have at least 2 admins with the necessary level of access for handling unforeseen circumstances. A single person going MIA randomly shouldn’t be enough to take down an entire Fediverse instance. (I saw something similar happen with kbin, when one day the site just… went down!)

Now when it comes to the porn side of this, this is also kind of bad news for Fediverse adoption since there are a lot of sex/porn/kind-related communities on Reddit, and now we are kind of without a lot of that stuff.

I do hate unregulated capitalism.

But that’s not the only problem, even people in the non-profit space, as well as the supposed “communists” of the CCP in China are using and abusing machine learning techniques for the purposes of surveillance, oppression and exploitation.

It’s not the technology’s fault, obviously. But at that point this becomes a bullshit “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” argument.

I hate “AI” because it’s been built of the forced exploitation of untold millions of artists and creative laborers, without even so much as consent, let alone compensation…

How is that laptop $3000?

Dipshits spend 15 years dismissing and spreading fud about vaccines, only to beg their people to get a vaccine. Too little, too late.

Yes, many of the Democrats are a waste of fucking space, granted. I get it. You all should be voting in the primaries if you want to change that.

But can be PLEASE for the love of fucking Sweet Baby Jesus remove the Republican fascist enablers from power? Can we at least give it a fucking try this time?

My hope is that sometime in my lifetime people will finally realize that letting go of the rope isn’t a good strategy for winning a tug-o-war. (So far, so bad.)

Same shit he has said every election for 10 years.

I wish people would cop this dumb fuck’s modus operandi by now: he’ll called it rigged if he looses, and he’s also called it rigged if he doesn’t win with 100% of the vote everywhere. Because anything otherwise would send him into a spiral of narcissistic collapse.
