Yup.
The flip side of this, is, of course, that voting with your wallet means that people with bigger wallets get more votes, and that results in the rich always getting their way.

How about "No".
"Embarrassingly parallelizable" is just the term for a process that can be perfectly paralleled.
The current boom is an embarrassingly parallel task meeting an architecture designed to run that kind of task.
Plus organizations outside of the FAANGs having hit critical mass on data that's actually useful for mass comparison multiple correlation analyses, and data as a service platforms making things seem sexier to management in those organizations.
Negative utility is still utility, right?
I don’t want to. I just want to have them in my home feed.
Fair enough. I'm glad there's something out there that meets your need, then.
I like the "antennas" feature a lot
For the uninitiated, Firefish's antennae are saved searches, where you can specify lists of keywords and users and come back to them over and over again. It's similar to Mastodon's hashtag follow feature, only more flexible. Though, IIRC, it doesn't add the search results to your home feed; it keeps them separate, and undiluted.
From an administrator's point of view, Firefish's Recommended timeline is super cool, and is similar to Akkoma's 'bubble' feature. It lets you specify a list of other federated servers to display posts from, creating a kind of "super-local" timeline. It's the kind of thing I'd love to see in Lemmy and kbin.
Firefish is definitely a bit of an unfortunate rebranding. Though 'Calckey' wasn't exactly setting the world on fire, as a name, either. But at the end of the day, we really need to learn to recontextualize fediverse plataforms as software that runs a service, not the service itself. They're website engines that power social websites, not a social brand in and of themselves, kind of like how WordPress is a quasi-static website suite that is used for a huge number of blogs and quais-static websites.
No one shares something from, say, the TechCrunch website, or Time website, and goes "Hey, Iook what I found on WordPress!"
Can confirm. I find Firefish (formerly Calckey) a much nicer, much more refined, and much more expressive piece of kit.
I've liked Akkoma, too. And there's something really comforting about Friendica, with its "Facebook as it should have been" interface.
I need more info! Was it a scoop slam? A power slam? A press slam? A sidewalk slam? A spinebuster slam? HOW DID THEY SLAM IT, GOD DAMMIT?!?
It's not a false narrative at all. It's an ideological difference.
You think personal property is a financial investment. Some of us see it as a home.
You're emblamatic of what's wrong with the housing market.
At the same time, many families got rich off of slave labour, and have passed that ill gained wealth down from generation to generation.
Just because you gave the car you stole away as a gift doesn't mean it ain't fucking stolen. It should be repossessed.
