Now let’s look at Who those 10% of world population are:

Right! mostly Americans and our rich westener friends. propably contributing 100 times more than a fella from Zimbabwe does.

My dad listens to AI generated stories. I still don’t know if he realizes they are Fictional AI stories, or if this is his way of killing time by this instead of listening to audio books. I guess audiobooks take commitment

It has already changed a lot of things in my life to the worst. that I am scared what it would look like once It changes ‘Everything’

Why do you people insist on mischaracterizing what other people say?

In economics, Free money refers to money borrowed at low interest rates. and I made it even more clear when I talked about the need for more competition and the depreciation of the dollar. There is already too much money in circulation and borrowing at low interest rates gives room to corporations and the wealthy to ramp up prices, buy up more property and and make the lower class compete for limited products, instead of corporation competing to earn their customers dollars.

If the question of free money isn’t resolved than inflation will always outpace wages to a point where it might feel like going back to the feudal times.

Ten years too late.

This could have had a far greater impact when whatsapp exodus or controversy happend in 2021. I bet they have reached a stall in the number of new accounts and donations are drying out.

I have also read rumors about them thinking about tying this to a one time payment to prevent bot registration

inflation is caused by free money. This as much as it is welcome for the people impacted by crazy costs of life, will only keep ramping up inflation.

They need to stop giving free money and make everyone compete. if you have any savings turn them to gold, the dollar will only continue to crumble

Russia is the most unreliable ally one can have

Please Stop using statcounter as a reliable source. Their numbers are absolutely wack.

Look at the recent surge in win7 pcs, that no economical data can back up, if you look at win7 stats of some countries you will find some weird spikes that died out this last month. why go from an os that has lost security updates to an older os that today’s software can’t run on anymore

the internet needs to be burnt to the ground and built back up for humans to humans. I hate this timeline were are living in

Maybe you should curb your enthusiasm a bit. have you seen what it take to unlock the bootloader from most manufacturers? you might even need your grandma’s birth certificate before you’re allowed to do so in the future

While your own people can’t afford treatment and die of treatable illnesses, weird choice of fight.

No one has time for family in Japan

When I watch yt videos about people leaving the workplace at 10pm, I wonder how suicide rate isn’t way higher

I don’t think Africa would want its appendicitis back. it has enough problems as it is without the Florida men.

It was obvious to everyone and their cat.

The internet is a massive US PSYOP for which it’s going to fight with all its might to not lose control over.

it will be the year 9999 and we will still be reading about the “Man in Florida”

The one thing that I like about the fediverse is that it somehow unintentionally has a filter to keep the low effort people from poisoning the well.

I have been on the fediverse from 2019 and these types of arguments have been floated times and again at each exodus wave. they expect to be offered everything on a silver platter. they come into a new platform maintained by hobbyists and good will people and they expect it to offer the same features, experiences and user base or even better than the once on proprietary media that spend billions of dollars to acquire that user base. they get screwed by one company and hope that another for profit won’t do the same. Lemmy is even easier than email, as you don’t need to know the handle of people of communities you interact with you just search for them or explore the public feed. We don’t need them here.

there are many aspects the fediverse can improve upon. decentralization or federation isn’t one of them

The USA is in panic mode, they thought they could undermine China’s development just like they did with ball-sucking Europe, now there is a need for other nation to come up with their own models, and show the US they should stop underpinning monopolies.

If an instance doesn’t want to grow they turn off new sign-ups, some growth might help instances stay afloat, as not only it might help with more donations, but also signal to the maintainers that there is appreciation for their work.

there is a protocol used by HubZilla called zot, it allows for true nomadic identities. where you can even login to your account from any instance.

I don’t think ActivityPub (Protocol that links all mastodon, Pixelfed, lemmy, peertube instances) developpers have any interests in implementing that, or it isn’t so high in their priorities, also to note that ActivityPub developpment has stagnated since its early releases.

Now the hard part is to get Friendica to integrate it in its base code, and somehow prompt users upon sign-up to choose their user interface !

I understand though that friendica devs might be reluctant to integrate it if they can’t get assurances that this UI project will be maintained into the future.
