The tough part about something like Friendica is that it’s usefulness very dependent on how many of your friends are on it. You’d need a group of friends to all join together for it to stick.
70% of what?
God damn it, of all the garbage people to quote, why did it have to be LaRouche
You assume that I already didn’t do that, as well as commenting.
What the fuck? No wonder people think we are unhinged. Get this shit outta here. I just want to be able to walk to the grocery store.
I am more terrified of doors than moving cars when I am biking through some areas.
No thank you.
Is this what we are going to do now, anything remotely good say “things like that is why Dems lose elections” as we watch people and our planet die.
Cool. This is great.
You are overthinking this.
Too many people from all with car brain
Or you can take the train, walk or bike. All of which are much much cheaper.
Yeah I will never understand why discord has replaced both forums and subreddits, the form factor doesn’t fit the discussion style.
For me, I hate the influencer culture around many of these things. On paper, loops, and the like, are good ideas, but when you fill it with people with MBAs trying to sell you things, it feels fake and goes to shit. My experience so far with the fediverse is that it feels generally organic and I have no reason to believe loops would be any different.
Just because cars are a problem doesn’t mean we should turn them into a tool of the police state.
The solution to speeding isn’t to tell people they are speeding, it’s to make people feel uncomfortable speeding via good urban design.
That is the most delusional take.
Big oil thanks you for spreading their propaganda for free.
Ideally the solution would be finding alternatives for creators to make money, sponsorships is one, they can make money on those no matter the platform and where they get viewers, same with support platforms like patreon and kofi.
The goal would be to watch videos there so creators have a reason to cross post and then support them in other ways, if possible, mentioning peertube as the avenue you watched them.
Cross posting to a peertube instance should be pretty light weight for creators and we should encourage it.
