how to block meta from mastodon

Reply in thread

The idea is that at first threads.net will seem "normal", like all the other fediverses

Then they start adding features that either break against other servers, or straight up aren't supported, making threads.net seem more enticing just because all the neat features aren't on the other sites.

Think how Internet Explorer killed Netscape with all the Page Load errors caused by ActiveX, yet everyone wanted ActiveX sites.

Once they've walked through the path of least resistance and grabbed the bulk of the traffic, they just defederate from everyone.

Why is this so difficult?

I think Americans in general don't see it as a difficult choice to support Ukraine

Politicians find it difficult because Republicans are pro-russian, and both parties are heavily aligned with Israel. So Ukraines the only one really seeing any push back.

[db0] Reddit is a dead site running

I think reddit will keep going for awhile longer, mainly just because of how big it is

But the damage has definitely been done, and the problem is I don't believe reddit has any capability of patching up the damage long-term. Everything still looks good now, but it's not like Twitter immediately looked bad when Elon got it either. Instead we'll see them continuously, over and over, having to fix things that looking back were caused by this.

Charles Littlejohn: Man who stole and leaked Trump tax records sentenced to 5 years in prison

Reply in thread

So the judge is in with trump. Hope none of his cases go that guys way.

Like yeah, he broke the law and needed to be punished. But it wasn't government secrets, which i'm pretty sure is already legally coded separately from this guys crimes, and also neither of which are treason, which would be the capital attack.

So the guy blatantly spoke against his own legal experience for a political swing.

Anon misses the RTS genre

I don't think RTS was even big when RTS was big. SC1 and wc3's custom map scenes were way bigger.

A lot of the games that killed the RTS genre were even games from that custom map scene.

(That all being said, it didn't exactly die. Just it didn't grow the way Moba did)
