Isn't this equivalent to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braess%27s_paradox

Wait, gfycat collects user data whenever I use one of their gifs? https://media.giphy.com/media/5eFp76zhsq3uw/giphy.gif

What I read before is that the plan was for facebook to introduce cheap instance hosting at the expense of making it a "franchise" they can control, monetize, monitor...somewhere between a self-hosted instance and a reddit sub.

Yeah, no kidding. Elon drives things into the ground for his amusement, while Zuck is 3X.

I think the only widely used site that has miraculously avoided enshittification has been wikipedia, because of a rock-solid ethical foundation.

Welp, I guess I only have 3 videos left on youtube then, it was a good run. Then it's off to invidious and when that goes, probably peertube will have enough content :)

We'll live. Long live the fediverse (and old-school forums)

BTW: was there ever or is there any sort of listing for all sorts of hobbyist or thematic forums? The main reason I never used many of them was because I never came across them and admittedly it was pretty easy to do that in reddit just by typing r/doesacommunityforthistopicexist

edit: is there some similar listing for mastodon? I'm having trouble finding a type of technical-oriented crowd.

We are the ERA, and r/spez thought it was just going to go through, but we exploded and reacted to his fuckery alright...

Ok, when I said worse, it was from this point of view: in some subchans, I've seen some smart conversations and advice there among the 95% neverending jungle of slurs (they probably see that as a feature, not a bug). In yt: never, the medium simply doesn't work to make people talk.

He's going to make a big announcement...but given his history, it may actually have to do with some artifacts he wants to find down there :)

I only disagree with one thing on that: youtube is not a social media platform. It is horrible for discussions, topic discovery and organization, the comment sections and chat are worse than 4chan. It is a video diffusion platform, but not truly social media.

Some entities are more deterministic than others. A rock is more deterministic than an animal and a human is less deterministic than an animal because its "causal inertia" (the opposite of free will) is weaker: it can be influenced by more factors than the rock and is more unpredictable. Some people lead more deterministic lives than others.
