If I wanted to see ads I would go on youtube or like kotaku or something.

ok, but what about the fact that most of the instances have policies meant to protect these groups, which happens to be most of them if not all of them? Since it is a federated service alot of the instance most users use, will usually defederate from other instances not moderating to their standards once they are aware, but sadly not all of them. That's the point of federation so that one person can't control every single detail of what happens for their own gains. That's why the users on Mastodon broke away from Youtube, Twitter and Facebook.
Sure there are going to be instances that just so happen to exist that might not moderate for or even, appreciate these groups as much, at that point if you were to sign up to such an instance, you might want to switch instances to avoid such content.
Would I go as far as to say, that it is unsafe by design? No i'd say that the fediverse is meant to be safer by design for all people from all sorts of backgrounds with different viewpoints. and depending on where you join, then that will determine how safe the fediverse is for you as a person.
Did you know that if you find an instance that's not within your local instance while prowsing and searching say Mastodon, that you can block that instance from showing up entirely?
also that marginalized groups of people had even had better experiences on the fediverse than on Twitter and other places as some seem to even claimed on your own post here.
just a preference of eating them seperately on the same day together if it is healthy vs on different days
I am proud that one of my posts on this community has reached 100 upvotes.
I did say ai. I said
"ai, but the bots." People in this thread were actually legitly saying their stance on bots. and also on ai. which, if I'm wrong then i'm wrong, I accept the critisism. personally this post could be a meme at this point. 27 downvotes, that's crazy on Lemmy. I hadn't seen a post on this communitywith as many, not sure if that's a record or not. for this community.
edit: now 26 and if any changes further, then that's where the number is .
How did this post get nearly 200 upvotes but fewer comments, then an average post with 75-100 upvotes I mean I get this this news is shocking because it's Samsung not apple, so it is a new leak regarding Gogole, but sheesh a lot of things this week was just about as 'shocking'
The numbers are impressive, so i'm not necesarilly complaining, but those numbers caught my eye. congratulations op
I am proud that one of my posts managed to get to 100 upvotes.
How much money are these companies sitting on, and yet they are still capping peoples wifi down to 1tb, which is a good amount acually but nothings changed for years in many areas regarding data caps, unless you have more money or happen to be in a good u.s state with competition for internet, like Ohio.
very true, i'm supportive of poorer areas getting internet service myself. The point of the internet was to be a free resource, supported by donations when it was invented. Google deserves to lose it's control that it's had and token advantage of for the last 8-7 years they have no right to have as much control. Same with ISPs, just because they so happen to own the pipes we use and with little competition.
actually I see what some of you mean, regarding bots can kill communities, because real users know what stories are worth sharing. When bots do it right though, i still believe it drives up conversation when people aren't posting, when real users engage in conversation in the comments and talk about the article that the bot shared. Which was my major point for bots, but not to really replace real users. which I feel some of you thought I meant it to that degree, of which I did not.
Personally when i'm looking for a community I sort it by top month instead of new because since i'm looking for an active community, it'l sort based on rankings of the posts in the community. (I assume based on the guide)
By sorting by month I feel it's a good balence of good activity in a community vs ensuring that if tides change then fairly over time I can switch to another community based on rankings for the next month or the next and etc.
What do you all do?
This is not a good thing for Linux users, but it is for Windows users. It'l make using the internet for basic tasks more seamless. and I think this is generally what this is going for. Not to make it seamless, but to restrict, but make it seem seamless.
