Not looking to debate or stir up anything. But, I will say despite anyone’s thoughts the anti-meta fedi pact at least allowed people to have some information on where instances and people stood on federation with Threads. Some decisions were able to be made based on that information. I think if it doesn’t exist there should be one also regarding AI, which is a polarizing topic especially on fedi. I believe similar to the Threads issue it would allow people to make somewhat informed decisions one way or the other. Are there current lists, sites dedicated to this? If not what are you guys thoughts?

Are you asking genuinely or are you asking to get defensive and argumentative with those and points you disagree with?

Recently started the show and I’m on this episode, it’s so good!

Nah you’re not in position to state that. If the alternative wasn’t worse enough then you are to blame. There’s no perfect candidate. Ya could’ve voted in mid-terms, gave low approval ratings, voted for your preferred candidate during the next DNC primary. Not when it’s against Trump and project 2025. That’s choosing a nuclear bomb over a run of the mill bomb; sure both are bad but one is catastrophic. You’re mad that people chose a less severe bomb because it’s a bomb but your anger allowed something significantly more catastrophic yet you want to sit on some high horse. Sometimes you’re choosing against two bad things, choose the less terrible thing.

If there’s an unavoidable situation where people will die 10,000 v 100 I’m going to choose the least damage. You’d let 10,100 people die

That’s your opinion there’s people that believe it is. There’s people that don’t believe anything that isn’t ActivityPub is a part of the Fediverse which is strange because the term was used well before ActivityPub. But I get what you’re saying from a protocol perspective I can more so agree from your angle

I think people get the wrong idea about Nostr. To be honest I’ve seen a lot worse and illegal content on the Fediverse. Depending on the client and relay there’s a ton that can be filtered & muted.

I wonder if there’s any entities that they do partnerships with that have provisions in their contracts against this, curious if the sports leagues do. They’re notoriously protective of their IPa and rights

Hopefully they go to court to get an injunction. Hopefully, they also go to the powers that be in the EU, those same powers have been so focused on the Apple App Store they failed to take into account Google can do something like this with the Play Store. It would be a shame for the F-Droid project to end but it is completely avoidable.

Except when it comes to women and girls, he’s absolutely wrong

[–] damon@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

That is a rare case. If people actually cared and kept their word most non-maga owned news outlets would be out of business. Yet, people still watch, read and subscribe to those outlets despite them constantly posting about how crappy those orgs are. People are creatures of comfort. I imagine most that cancelled their subscriptions turned them right back on once they heard Kimmel was no longer suspended. Most major retailers and companies that dropped their DEI policies saw little to no loss.

Companies respond to big money, if enough people turned away from those companies they’d behave very differently

Holy smokes this is one of the best responses I’ve ever seen on the internet. Thanks for the information, breakdown and sources. One of the problems I’ve seen since the mass use of social media is that no matter the persons background so many people do the bare minimum. What I mean is they fall for clickbait headlines, only read the headlines, fail to check multiple sources. I get not everyone is a researcher but since we have computers in our hands it takes literally seconds to do searches. Your research helped piece so much together and I hope the family absolutely destroys this company and make it a deterrent for others to misuse these treatments

[–] damon@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

So, much of what you stated makes my head spin, maybe it’s due to the fact that it’s early but I highly doubt that’s the reason.

[–] damon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would argue that’s centralisation. Instances are inherently centralised, they own the user identity, relationships and data. A user “migration” which isn’t really a migration it’s an alt account on another server, if that server is blocking or is blocked then that users social graph can be significantly impacted. There’s no way to really migrate their content.

 

I was thinking how people are upset at Remake as they feel it deviates too much from og. The creators have said that it will remain true to the original but maybe they weren't referring to the ideas but to the core themes of og. Seeing Sephiroth introduced so early in FF7R, the whispers, different worlds etc. It got me thinking about what Sephiroth said at the Temple of the Ancients. He said "It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury... What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha ha ha. And at the center of that injury, will be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with all the energy of the Planet, I will become a new life form, a new existence.Melding with the Planet... I will cease to exist as I am now... Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every soul." Remember he is in-between alive/dead as he has not be absorbed by the lifestream. The planet uses that to heal itself. If he casts Meteor he kills two birds with one stone. He kills people and mortally wounds the planet. When the planet goes to heal itself he will absorb the life energy. The worlds merging benefits him as maybe it takes two planets worth of life energy to become a god.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/10462412 Q&A on ActivityPods and Its Integration with Memory for the Lemmy Community**

Q1: What is ActivityPods and How Does It Relate to Memory?

A1: ActivityPods is a framework that combines ActivityPub, a decentralised social networking protocol, with Solid Pods, personal online data stores. It allows for unified data management and control across various platforms. Memory, built upon ActivityPods, leverages this framework to offer users a more integrated, secure, and user-controlled experience.

Q2: I'm New to the Fediverse. How Does ActivityPods Enhance My Experience?

A2: For newcomers, ActivityPods offers a simplified yet powerful way to engage with the Fediverse. Instead of managing multiple accounts on different platforms (like Mastodon, Pixelfed), you have one centralised profile and data store (Pod). This means easier management of your digital identity and activities across various platforms.

Q3: I'm a Current Fedizen. Why Should I Consider Using Memory?

A3: As an existing Fediverse user, you'll appreciate the enhanced data control and portability that Memory offers. Your data is stored in your own Pod, giving you full control over it. Plus, you can interact with different Fediverse platforms using a single account, streamlining your social media experience.

Q4: For Fediverse Admins/Mods, What Are the Benefits of ActivityPods?

A4: Admins and moderators will find that ActivityPods simplifies user management and enhances security. Since users control their own data in Pods, there's less burden on the platform for data storage and protection. It also opens up new possibilities for cross-platform moderation and community engagement.

Q5: As a Fediverse Developer, How Can I Utilise ActivityPods in My Projects?

A5: Developers can harness ActivityPods to create more user-centric and interoperable applications. It supports semantic web standards for data, ensuring compatibility across different platforms. This means you can develop apps that seamlessly integrate with various parts of the Fediverse, enhancing the overall ecosystem.

Q6: Will My Username and Identity Be Consistent Across Platforms with ActivityPods?

A6: Yes, ActivityPods aims to provide a consistent username and identity across different platforms. While the specifics can vary based on implementation, the general idea is to have a unified digital presence in the Fediverse, making your interactions more cohesive.

Q7: How Does ActivityPods Ensure My Data Privacy and Security?

A7: Your data is stored in Solid Pods, which you have full control over. You can set permissions for who accesses your data and how it's used. This decentralised approach to data storage means enhanced privacy and security, as your information isn't held in a central server controlled by a single entity.

Q8: Can I Move My Existing Fediverse Data to Memory?

A8: The portability feature of ActivityPods should, in theory, allow you to move your existing data to Memory. However, this process might depend on the specific platforms you're currently using and their compatibility with ActivityPods.

Q9: Is Memory with ActivityPods Suitable for Non-Technical Users?

A9: Absolutely! One of the goals of Memory built on ActivityPods is to make decentralised social networking accessible and user-friendly. Even if you're not technically inclined, you can enjoy a streamlined and secure social media experience.

Q10: How Can I Get Started with Memory and ActivityPods?

A10: Getting started is as simple as signing up for a Memory account. From there, you'll be guided through setting up your Pod and connecting with various platforms in the Fediverse. The process is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly.
