no, it won’t, nor will xitter of facebook. it’s delusional to think multi-billion-dollar-platforms backed by big money, the content industry and several clandestine consortiums will cease operation because a single digit percentage of users decided that some hobbyist internet platforms held together by tape and a hail marry are the future. we’ll be lucky if places like this are still around in a few years.

can’t wait for them to realize 10yrs later that they will never wipe their “content” from the web again.

look, the moment you put motherood into the discussion about the pros and cons of prostitution i don’t care about what you have to say about it.

sure buddy, being a prostitute is the safest way for a women to have her body and soul exploited AND it’s very well paid, i guess most of them are just doing it wrong. dig your forced anticapitalist comment, really.

“We encourage women to use their bodies for sport, for fashion, for art, for drama, for motherhood…” - stopped reading there.

AR/VR is a hard line for me that i won’t cross. doesn’t matter if its facebook or apple or whoever. i don’t want it, i don’t ask for it, i don’t see any benefit coming from it. i can accept it as a gaming gimmick, but aside of that, it’s a literal dystopia.

i remember times, when we encouraged women to get out of selling their bodies instead of celebrating it and tell our daughters as a society that it’s fine to do a few years of onlyfans and porn. i miss those times.

also, not technology.

i’ve been on two instances since last fall: one mastodon, one pleroma.

on the mastodon one i found out by accident, that i was “shadowbanned” from it’s own public timeline. inquiring why this happend, the mods didn’t told me. when i asked then that i would like to know what i did “wrong” and if they could lift this, they said “no”. i deleted my account after that.

the pleroma one was even worse because literally on day one i was zerged by some american internet rightwingers because i posted something they didn’t agree with. i deleted my account after that.

what do you suggest, how many times should i move/delete my account until i found an instance that at least gives me the twitter treatment instead of just doing random policy?

proton suite. i’m using it since 2016 and never looked back.

this is never going to happen unless musk looks for a reason to shut xitter down. like so many times before he’s talking out loud what he’s thinking right now, creating a massive migrane among the guys still running the site and everyone who is financially invested in it.

let’s not pretend mastodon is a viable alternative at this time. sure, it’s not an ad-algo-hellscape yet (meta will change that tho) but you’re at the mercy of whatever powertripping admin you have to deal on the instance you’re on. unless you tune into the echo chamber most instances are, you’re not going to have interesting conversations. it’s very slow, has barebone features and there is a lack of actually interesting oc posting people on the masto side of the fediverse.

i can see you put much thought into your argument.

one of the main reasons i prefer threema over signal is that threema does not run on any of my personal data to get started.

yeah, there was totally no lobbying involved and the eu wants this for the greater good and innocent convenience of the european citizens. (btw, standard telegram messages aren’t encrypted in the first place)

why? since neither signal nor i can control what meta is able to fetch from it’s own clients it’s “trust me, bro”-territory. remember when then-facebook promised that whatsapp can keep on doing their own thing? remember when they guaranteed that they won’t use whatsapp data for their ad network? so why would i trust them with something so crucial as encryption, let alone whatever third parties have to feed into their ad revenue network because brussles had another normal one?

the conversation in MY signal would also be mirrored in THEIR whatsapp. also, when it comes to encryption i trust meta not even a single inch.

that might be, but just being into someones phone book is not giving away much, the pattern starts to get interesting when they can track who is actually making contact, when, in what application and so on. that’s the meta data goldmine.

it’s eu, so i don’t even think there will be an opt-out.

germany recently shut down their last running nuclear power plants and basically bricked them so they can’t be used ever again, had both nordstream piplines destroyed, is heavily dependend on french nuclear power and u.s.-american liquid gas and is already talking about “controlled brownouts” - i guess installing millions of high voltage charging outlets for cars (that are not even on the streets yet) when one of the three governing parties actually wants cars mostly gone is rather bizarr, but hey - it’s germany lol

the moment some whatsapper is sending a message my way meta knows my phone number and the connection to the user. i’m not sure if i can stop this the moment the “feature” drops and most ppl would be ignorant to it in the first place. it’s just another attack on privacy in favour of “convenience”.
