This really underscores that “The Company Town” is very much alive. Also move over East India Trading Co.
We’ve let the Internet too few big players. It used to be more diverse, more federated. Now it’s just the New TV for Advertisers to shit down your neck.
I’m not even sure if we can go back without inventing new technologies not captured by bureaucratic establishments.
This is by design. The primary email relays have been captured for snooping. The spam lists are just a tool to solidify “winners” who comply with giving up your data.
First I heard they even had a fedi.
Step 1. Built Internet to get away from TV
Step 2. Corporate Greed TV moves over and ruins Internet.
Step 3. Build New Internet to escape Old Internet Ruined by TV bloodsuckers.
Step 4. Go back to step 2 and replace tech names with next itteration.
So using tags am I to understand this is a
Qt, Linux Phone, Desktop, FlatHub, App for Lemmy and Kbin akin to Tuba?
That’s not what Darwinian Selection Pressure means.
I didn’t cross that bridge, you lazily drew conclusions about my position that were wrong.
How about this instead: a Darwinian selection pressure that causes people to learn how to think instead of what to think.
Its not like we don’t use Firewalls because we are playing whackamole with the idealism that DDOS shouldn’t exist in a ideal world.
Get smart. Get good. It’s time for humans to adapt and evolve to this new world.
They want to make it TV
Agreed, IRL people say the same thing and stuff like eww The Fed.
Not sure what he’s supposed to do about it now, even PixelMail could have done the thing explaining that its federated
The need for decentralization & federation is self evident.
Flawlessly accurate, everyone seems to always work an angle, the current system has no way of navigating this reality.
Content moderation should be “opt-in”.
Each community should have overlapping moderation teams – the user can subscribe or unsubscribe to the " filters" those moderators create.
The user should be put at the middle of the world and the user should be given supreme authority over which blocklists, content filters they subscribe to the same as which communities.
They should be able to discriminate against users whose profiles contain various emojis or flags stating their affiliations should they so choose.
If the user wants to avoid content from evangelicals and activist groups they dislike they should be given the tools to hide posts from those people.
None of this should be decided for them, they should decide for themselves.
Upvote/downvote system turns content to a “popularity contest”.
There is no way to categorize content by " funny", “insightful”, " serious", “scientific”, " helpful", etc…
Steam is a good example of this done right, comments can be given Trophies, misskey does Emoji’s IIRC
That would be like Gmail blocking Yahoo, it defeats the purpose of a Fediverse especially when users can already block content from domains they dislike.
If Email was sorted into “public” and “private” it could be.
Theoretically a RSS reader is similar tech where it fetches all these sources, so in this case fetching public email account data.
Of course upvotes, badges, etc would need to be handled by a 3rd party service unless you made them public and added them to the email chain.
Offtopic but this certainly was interesting

The concept is solid but the version could use some work
Since it’s punching up I’ll allow it.
Problem is Reddit content and votes aren’t all human so unless they kept a record of which parts are just chatbots and which votes were faked its not exactly useful to train on in a pure sense.
Considering the disinformation wars and botnets between the big countries its hard to even get a idea of what people really think and what is bullshit and what isn’t.
In any case I’m glad reddit has fucked themselves. This small corner of sanity is a bastion in a shit blizzard.
Boost for Lemmy un-bolds* the old ones
