  • At the moment federation between platforms is not useful. The only advantage is federation between Instances. I’ve used my sister at a test for what the average woman would think about it.

    Aspects she thinks is cool are that it’s owned by people and designed for people, that its left leaning and inclusive.

    Aspects she doesn’t care about are privacy, lack of ads, federation between instances, federation between platforms.

    Aspects she doesn’t like are her friends aren’t there, none of the accounts she like are there, no recommendation algorithm. She also hates the name fediverse.

    I think that we need to stop being boomers clutching our chronological feed and word of mouth discovery and embrace algorithms. That’s not to say we can have chronological feeds it’s just that we should include and option and serve some form of content recommendations.

    I also think threads will be a major player in drawing people in. Its easier to convince people who use Instagram to switch from Twitter to threads than Twitter to Mastodon. Once they’re on threads they can start being a part of the fediverse and then eventually they might decide to try out one of the instances.








  • 25% Camel case, 25% Pascal and 50% of the time flatcase. It drives me insane when I try and autocomplete a folder only to realise it was Downloads instead of downloads. I keep telling myself i will go through and make it all flatcase but I put it off because i tell myself i will rebuild my computer next week every week.









  • No. The strikes from Hezbollah came before Isreal began their war on Gaza and were specifically because they thought Arabs were doing an all our war to exterminate isreal. They were not at any point limited to military targets.

    You are so disingenuous trying to paint this as Hezbollah striking military targets and Isreal striking civilans ignoring that Hezbollah operate from within civilian areas and have never ever stated or shown that they are only targeting military installations. If they were targeting only military targets they would be aiming majority of their attacks at the major isreali population centers.

    You hold Isreal to such a high standard and then put a blindfold on when looking at the actions of arabs. You use the exact same line of reasoning as anti immigration racists in the US and UK and its gross.
