They do know Activity Pub and the Fediberse exists, yeah? Is this just tech bros inventing stuff that already exists?

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Activpub allows too much freedom atproto required 1 huge centralised server that can be owned and used to push their own agenda.

And me I'd like a ~~pony~~ the end of climate change, but I'm afraid we'll both be disappointed.

Lol, whereas I'm an American and now rooting for climate change, or bird flu.

There's just about zero chance that bankers will ever allow such a thing to happen. Just look at the epic shitshow they've instigated after people had the audacity to attempt to actually speak to each other at Occupy.

The epic shitshow being all of social media?

[–] ogmios@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That along with corporate media hyping up every divisive issue they can find.

[–] Gecko4469@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah the two seem to be besties. Funny how people have talked about social media being the killer of ‘legacy media’ but honestly they seem to just complement each other and be used to sow division and FUD.
