i don’t blame you

Every time i post something about ai, for or against, like, 12 people immediately downvote it.

Do any of you even look beyond the title or do you just see the word “ai” and go: ohh bad!

If you’re tired about seeing stuff about ai, then I am too. I just think it’s a pretty interesting and unique video.

I feel like crowdfunding ads to broaden the Fediverse’s reach is a strategy that would actually work great for Pixelfed, Peertube, and Funkwhale since they’re content focused. But for the forum and microblog like Fedi platforms such as Lemmy it doesn’t really make sense they’re more people focused.

Reddit didn’t need to run ads to get to it’s size, the network effect did that for it.

i imagine that by “ActivityPub for Tumblr” they mean a buried option in your settings to monodirectionly bridge your blog to ap

openvibe

no they didn’t? that’s just a straight up lie.

disgusting idea 🥰

discord forums are terrible though. it’s hardly an upgrade from a threads only channel

I feel like I’d be totally fine with ads that can be controlled user end. Like, what if there was a little switch by the video you’re watching to enable ad breaks, directly supporting the creator and the instance. (As long as they’re not baked into the stream so instances can’t force them to be always on.)

A pretty big flaw of downvotes is they’re often not used as a “this is incorrect” or “this doesn’t fit with the post” button, but as a “I don’t like you” button.

if threads does federate(i’ll believe it when i see it) im glad i’ll have a way to interact with irls who don’t know what a mastodon is without having to make an account on fb’s stuff.

if they ever do anything fishy, and they will. i’ll move instances.
