There's a contingent of threadiverse users who interpret "anti censorship" to mean "all speech should be permitted, even against other's consent" and view any stifling of that to be immoral.

My take is that if platforms permit the loudest voices to overwhelm others, you just have censorship of a different flavor. Piefed is taking an interesting approach to that problem and I think it's interesting to watch!

This is just more "if a company isn't growing faster than the S&P500 it's literally dying" logic.

I have no love for Zuck or Meta but if reality means anything then their stock price is still ridiculously inflated.

True actually it can get quite hectic 😅

The biggest problem with a censorship proof decentralized social media platform is that the instances without moderation inevitably attract the sorts of people that get banned from everywhere else.

Pardon my ignorance but isn't that exactly what Inoreader and Feedly do?

Surprised nobody recommended "Overcooked!" It has really fun bite-sized rounds with four player local coop.

EDIT: It's also $4 on Steam with right now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/448510/overcooked/

Test failed sorry

It seems to have flown under the radar, but it's very high quality with lots of footage and interviews I've never seen before.

Best ereader for KOreader? (startrek.website)

I'm moving on from a Kindle Oasis and looking at the Boox Go 7 since Boox runs android, but wondering if there is a better option out there?

This is total alarmist misinformation. The "evidence of terrorism" was not "using Signal" or "carrying a first aid kit", it was taking part in an armed assault on an immigration facility where a dozen people set off fireworks and shot a police officer with an AR-15.

The prosecution used the presence of the first aid kit they carried during their armed assault, along with actual messages (not metadata) from a Signal chat to make the case that the attackers planned on using violence.

There are a lot of problems with this case, IMO the most dangerous part here is that adds legitimacy the (false) idea that "antifa" is an organization that exists. Something the Trump administration has been struggling to prove. This X post takes small details out of context.

  1. Don't trust anything ever posted to X. Especially something that discourages the use of private messaging apps.

  2. I highly recommend everyone report this this post to your admins and strongly recommend all instance admins ban/warn accounts like OP. If we want the fediverse to catch on it needs to be more factual, not knee jer.

The headline is misquoting him, the full quote is:

“Well, because we all agree that it’s a tragedy having the school hit, and we all agree now for an investigation,” Fetterman said. “What I don’t agree with the rest of my colleagues in the House is that it’s a war of choice, or it’s dumb, or all the things my colleagues have described, you know, this operation. I think it’s a good thing, and I support that.”

Still glaringly stupid, but the headline makes it seem like he's in denial it happened. He didn't say the words ~~"leftist" or~~ "craze"

Edited for accuracy!
