Yeah there are like a handful of instances with 90% of the users.

100% agree, and its sad that we never get encouraged to think about all the good qualities people actually have also. Almost every single human being here, from 8 billion or so, are happily living in peace with other humans.

People who dont, are world “leaders” , or in prison.

I dont think this is very true. How do you explain that 99.99% of people are super happy living their lives with just enough money to have somewhere to live and pay for food and some vehicle?

To me it seems that we have like 0.0001% of the population being super greedy and mentally ill, and they are the ones being talked about in the media and the ones turning Earth into a shitty place because of their enormous greed and lust for power.

Well what do you expect when the entire community thinks everyone should sign up for Lemmy.world and make this place even more centralized?

Its really stupid, but thats what it is… Hey look, we have federated technology! Lets all go to Lemmy.world because its the largest instance and users dont know what to pick anyway, so lets just put them there.

Lets make another centralized reddit with federated technology!

Honestly I dont think federation even is a valuable feature. People just want to be where everyone else is. The idea is good, but people dont care about the tech, they just want to use their apps and enjoy the experience.

There are some small advantages to many instances but the trend is to not even federate with instances that you dont like, so… Lol.

Decision fatigue? Almost everyone picks lemmy.world, and the UX is the same everywhere, specially if you use mobile apps.

Thats actually insane in itself that it got that close. Next time they will succeed. :/

People are so stupid to support this. They dont seem to understand that its never about protecting anyone and its always about building dystopia.

Every day, these guys make our life worse and destroy what we love.

Nothing we do changes anything. We can just talk about how they make us feel.

Good luck banning something that any computer in the world can run. You have wireguard vpn built into the Linux kernel. :)

On Linux you can just turn the kernel into a router with a few commands. Its actually very cool.

Yep, marketed as very safe, meeting “standards” .

I didnt say they cant cause harm, I said i like his movies and the guy seems alright to me, since I dont put pro-lgbt as my primary reason for liking a person in this world.

I think if you want to live in a democracy, you have to be OK with people having opinions you dont agree with.

Some of them will be bigots but perhaps have other qualities that are making up for it. Some will not like lbqt and thats something a lot of people dont like outside of Lemmy. So I dont know, I just dont look for these heroes that are perfect in my eyes.

Some of the pro-lgbt people here are most likely not very good people as well in other areas. Its just how people are…

I think the best we can do is accept that everyone has their own path in life, and their own purpose. We may not agree with that but they are here for a reason, just like you are. As long as you can remain non-hateful against people you dont like, I think thats a very good accomplishment, since everyone is trying to make us fight eachother over opinions.

No I dont watch that stuff. Alex Jonas is constantly screaming, not really interested in that content.

I havent followed at all what the guy says. But his movies were cool in the 80s and 90s.

The guy is just an actor to me. I dont care about what he thinks. :) Actors make movies and thats it. They are not more worth listening to than any random person on the street, unless they are Matthew McConaughey… He is an interesting guy for what he says, not his acting skills.

I guess this is accurate but people were different during these eras too. Leaders did bad things but there was a sense of ordinary people being mostly good. At least I had that feeling.

No, the 80s and 90s were fantastic. I would go back if I could. I thought it was bad that there was wars and corruption but I had the feeling that leaders tried to do the right thing. Maybe they didnt but I felt like they did. Not today.

Yeah, thats not age verification…

You cant operate in Europe without following the gdpr. There is a difference, thats why American big tech doesnt like Europe.

Good thing women dont have huge egos and always communicate clearly and say what they mean. Phew.

Isnt that what the entire YouTube community is doing?

Its because the largest instances have bots that take content from those places and puts it here so there is content. They also have simular style of moderation. And they totally dominate the feed.

So yeah, I dont know. But without the content, this place would suck even more. At least here, there is no ads and nobody gets rich from our activity.
