“average user posts 100 times per day" actualy just statistical error. average user posts 0 times per day. Feddi Georg, who lives in cave & posts over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

I've seen it suggested that this was staged by Putin to dissuade more earnest coup attempts. However that theory relied on Putin looking like a strong-man at the resolution of this, which doesn't seem to be the case.
I do wonder if it would be healthier for the fedditverse for instances to really narrow their magazine/community footprint. I.e. "This is an Anime instance" a "Science instance" etc. Making off-topic magazines could either be discouraged or outright banned.
Not looking forward to having dozens of "news" and "technology" magazines sharing the same stories,
Same, though I'm lazy enough that I was waiting for linuxserver.io to have a kbin image. I haven't looked at the documentation yet, but if it's straightforward enough...
It's also just silly to think CPP would bother censoring Tiananmen square on /western/ websites.
Maybe within the firewall, and maybe try to influence coverage on contemporary issues, but I don't think they actually care about redditors sharing images from their history textbook,
I've gotten a lot more serious about playing TotK every waking hour, but to each their own.
I know christians (or any religion) find interpretations of their religious texts to confirm their biases, but it's not /easy/ to read the bible as anti-trans. Link
I know christians (or any religion) find interpretations of their religious texts to confirm their biases, but I can't for the life of me think of a bible passage that can be interpreted as anti-trans.
It's like the "religious" rejection of COVID vaccines. Conservatives complain about the "race card", but this "religion card" is some bullshit.
There's a joke here somewhere about flying to the coup
I use Tusky on my phone but Trunks on my eink tablet. Really none of the apps are "good" on eink, but Trunks is the most usable.
I'm not sure blocking Meta is worthwhile in the long term. Say what you will about email, you still have some degree of choice over your host. I want better for the fediverse, but that's still a marked improvement over mainstream social media.
In the short term, Meta wants to kill Twitter by collecting all its A-level users. I think this would be good for the fediverse, these are news outlets and poltiicians and etc making posts most people want the option to see in their feed. These are also users who want no-fuss platforms with some amount of "customer service", and mastodon.social is simply not ready to provide that.
The issues it poses to re-centralization are an inevitable threat as the Fediverse grows. Unless there is a concrete plan to build protections and this is a stop-gap effort, I'm not yet convinced it's worthwhile.
I agree 90%, downvotes shouldn't have that much weight. That said, comments which are abusive or hateful probably should have long term consequences for the user, even if they are themselves not worthy of a ban. Maybe reputation can be a "strike" for number of reported comments.
To be clear, here I'm thinking of "dogwhistle" comments which individually are plausibly fine, but in aggregate indicate this person is up to no good.
