He’s going to Threads??? They have finally launched the metaverse and no one has told me anything??? I don’t see any other rational reason to do something like that.

I’m not going to discuss it with you, because I’m not a doctor nor is it the issue, but the health authorities (at least the European ones) do not agree with your statement.

Estoy de acuerdo pero para mi hace demasiado calor, yo soy del norte y me gusta el calor pero en este caso es excesivo.

Empiezo yo mismo. Creo que el lugar que mas me ha impresionado ha sido la mezquita de Córdova. Es impresionante tanto la parte de mezquita como la catedral esa que tiene incrustada en el medio y medio, precioso.

Personally I think that financing a platform like this with premium subscriptions is illusory. I could be wrong but what are they going to offer as a premium?

I think it may be interesting to note that Spotify is closing its first green year in its history this year, for reference.

Ok. You are in a situation of harassment and you believe that giving your data and delegating your security to a private company that responds to economic interests is a viable long-term solution.

There are things that one cannot argue against

I will count it as a victory when my government’s communication channels with me are not private property. A government-owned Mastodon server for official accounts would be logical (the EU already has it even though it barely uses it)

Well, I am not a systems engineer to answer your question, in any case smaller Hitlers equals Hitlers with less power. Dividing power is not the definitive solution to authoritarianism, but it usually helps a lot, especially if the agents are also competitive. “If you are too Hitler, I’ll go to this other server that is a little less so” is a valid incentive to avoid the Hitlerization of the admins.

I don’t think I’ve ever used the name Hitler so much.

Ok, I haven’t denied that, the tools are different (I don’t even know Twitter’s tools very well), I debate whether that is worth enough to accept that it is centralized. If over time they consider that something else is more profitable, they will change the moderation tools, have no doubt.

Ok, if for you the API is the most important thing, go ahead, I’m worried about more companies doing “things” with my data, everyone has their priorities.

P.S. Unlike in BlueSky in Mastodon you can be 100% sure that the API will never be closed, in Bluesky it will depend on variable business interests

Ok, if it’s good for you I’m glad, maybe over time it will happen to you like vaping and you can completely switch to decentralized networks

Are these details really that important? Is it really that difficult to manually block 50-100 users? I don’t know, everything you are telling me are, at best, marginal improvements that do not justify selling all your personal data to a private company seeking profit from those data/contributions.

It has a single owner who makes the decisions and makes profitable the contributions of the users. It is a social media model that has been over for me for some time now, if they are open the better for them, I am not going to join anyway.

I left Twitter years ago, but I think you could also block whoever you want, whether people do it more or less is independent of the site, the moderation tools are the same. 3

What’s more, I am 100% sure that if in a few years Bluesky considers it economically beneficial for its shareholders that these tools “have occasional failures” this will happen without a doubt. This is something that if happens in Mastodon, changing the node you are done

Yesterday I read on mastodon that leaving Twitter to go to Bluesky is like quitting smoking to start vaping. Changing a centralized place that lives off your data for another one. Right now Bluesky does not have hate speech like Twitter just because it does not suit the current accounts of its shareholders

A private company wants to make money, that’s not possible. Mastodon is funded by donations. It’s good as a user to know how everything works and choose accordingly.

I agree, that’s why in my first comment I said that if that were the scenario it would be a good scenario for Ukraine. The title of this news is what it suggests, how realistic it is, this is another story

After the rise of fascism in Europe, many wondered how such collective madness was possible. Each country had its own motivations, but they all shared the lack of opportunities to prosper materially (that lack of opportunities could be real or perceived, it doesn’t matter), that led to desperation and made it easier to buy into the discourse of “someone else is to blame for your ills, attack him and prosperity will return.” That’s why things like public healthcare were established throughout Europe after the war.

When fascism rises, blaming the people solves nothing, blaming a system that doesn’t care enough for them usually gives better results

I don’t know, it could be, my experience in military strategy is summarized in having lost many times in the Europa Universalis. What I do understand a little more about is politics and international relations and I know that if Russia presented itself to negotiate with a deal that said “if you give me Crimea I won’t ask for anything else” Ukraine should accept without hesitation.

It may be, but in the case of Spain the party has not moved, it has always had those positions, both economically and socially, not so much perhaps against immigration, as on abortion or religious issues, they have always been the version most radical of the European PP
