Ole Brent is going to find the terms of entry a lot less favorable.
Attempting solidarity pragmatically.
I don’t believe in imaginary property.

It’ll get more support with some time. For now it’s a nice browser to keep separate for not polluting what you doing mind putting out in public. I’ve had a lot more smooth experiences with PWAs I load through the ddg browser.
Actually one area I think it’s got an immediate edge on firefox while the wild wild fediverse sorts out is just how many fewer attack vectors it’s presenting with the pared back features.
Important to note there are options.
I’ve been relatively pleased with the duckduckgo mobile browser. There are a reasonable amount of chromium forks that aim for privacy oriented browsing as well, although I don’t have a specific one to endorse.
I guess in defense of Mozilla: it isn’t really playing a different game in the browser space, they’re just trying to mitigate some of the toxicity of ad revenue as a foundation. They’re still a non profit hiring from the same pool as the tech industry money printing machine.
There’s still a limited pool of support they have to pull from, and I like it better with them around so the big 3 don’t have a total monopoly on browser architecture.
That said it’s maybe the best example the model is flawed at the jump.
Thank you!
I’m not immersed enough in the specific code to load images and would like to know as well, but I can attest it’s definitely a problem in email architecture. @dessalines@lemmy.ml is probably the party you want if you want first hand info.
Also a stellar example of why I wish we could actually work together a little more. The ideological opt out of raddles software shows there are indeed legitimate concerns on platform privacy, but rather than work to harden it we’re behind walls hucking pejoratives. Hundreds of years of team red vs team black, and I am exhausted with it.
Drops in a bucket.
The sad reality is your average tax cheat will fight tooth and nail for every penny. Because even if right up to 99.9% is clawed bank, it’s all profit. Somehow it’s still hard to sell the right on having refs powerful enough to police the game.
Edit: stray word
I’ve checked the frontpage from time to time just to monitor what’s changing, but I have yet to log in.
My, if it isn’t the consequences of his own actions come to find Elmo again.
Wow, I didn’t think they’d implement anything more cancerous than various site preferred paywalling. This reeks of needing some good numbers to blow out headed into the IPO.
If it’s this bad already, get ready for a circus.
I used Feedly before defaulting to reddit as sites slowly collapsed RSS functionally.
Curious to know as well, but most of the time I see a couple sites mentioned that I haven’t been impressed with their ability to sift the trade mags and studies I was in it for.
Good to see Streisand in full Effect!
When the barrier to entry is technical in nature you get a selection of the competent in that space as your representation. It’s not perfect, but it beats zuck, musk and Huffman.
If we didn’t live in a universe of an obviously (over)reactionary electorate this might be the ideal.
The problem is consensus building takes time, as long as political wins are narrow you’re reinforcing the outage cycle.
More importantly the issue was tracked and resolved publicly.
The issue of trust in corporate spaces gets used to bury these things, this is a good model on how to restore it in the open.
I think some of that devolution going to be inevitable or you’re going to face charges of censorship from some corners, which is just it’s own cycle of rage. The network gets bigger, people click what they click and the aggregate of what our animal brains react to has a lot to be angry about.
What I worry most about is the acceleration of that cycle because we gradually gravitate towards instances with our preferred moderation or slant, which I can already see happening anyway.
I guess, at best, that It might be a cure with some side effects because it’s necessarily going to play with in/out crowd dynamics.
If this is at an instance level… Fine? As long as it’s visible.
I’d worry you’re promoting some amount of information siloing if the current general purpose instance structure doesn’t hold though.
Probably true. it’s the agencies who are desperate and likely to be looking to chatGPT to outsource ad copy who are going to be looking to capitalize.
No community is really above being targeted, because the good campaigns done by people in the niche tend to be indistinguishable from good posts.
This is near inevitable if this platform takes off.
Advertisers gonna advertise.
From a lifetime of small message boards It’s easier to drive engagement in smaller groups. If there’s less overall exhaustion with the basics in any niche, splitting the new members is a good way to keep differentiated material. Also growing communities can end up boxing out their regulars. It might be hard to get started, but the small communities tend to be resilient at some point, they just migrate service to service.
Most of the people who moved here were especially motivated to overcome the barriers to entry to, so I’m not sure the numbers still hold.
I’ve seen the cubs win the pennant and gwar talk to/about Terri Gross. Expecting horsemen any minute for the checklist.
