...even if you consider Hong Kong, Tibet, and Taipei colonies instead of autonomous religions analogous to states, the US has literally more than a dozen territories. The US is the master of colonialism, to this day it still holds the most extra territorial colonies.

What should we expect from people who voted in a rich, old, white guy as their savior.

Sounds like they're actually rolling out a for you feed in the near future

I dunno about iPhone but for Android the loops app isn't on the app store yet because the whole thing is still in dev. Once you get your invite email there's a link on the site to download the APK for the app.

I don't want TikTokers on the Fediverse, thankyouverymuch.

[email protected]

A site goes to shit when everyone and their grandma hops on it. At the risk of sounding elitist, I would prefer to a part of the userbase that hasn't been Eternal Septembered into the lowest common denominator.

Fediverse and decentralism confused me initially but then I learned I can just sign up at lemmy.world and use it normally without having to know the backend.

We've been here the whole time

[email protected]

Lemmy website is decent for me on mobile and PC alike, what are your complaints?

[email protected]

I do! Their opinions affect us; the fediverse reduces a social problem.

[email protected]

you can defederate with groups but gatekeeping the entire fediverse feels wrong

All right then, keep your secrets. But then let's promote a normie instance to Grandma so she doesn't get brainwashed.

What mobile app do you use?

I've tried a few, none of them are great for various reasons.
My favourite is Voyer

The up-vote buttons are hidden on comments. Very annoying

The default website is terrible, it looks like the social media app I built in highschool for a project. You have to click into every post to see it properly,

So be it. Tiktok is one big slop pool of content. The fediverse doesnt have to be. Tiktok needs to be. I'm okay with advocating for that separation, sorry.

The internet use to be about discovery, not convinience. The reason big companies like TikTok can exploit people so well is because the barrier of entry is so low and people would rather get their content quick than to have any involvement in how it works. When someone created a fediverse or a server, it's not plug and play. Work goes into that, so yeah, if you want simplicity, stay on X and Facebook and Insta. If you want control and more clarity about how these protocols work, welcome.

This anti-China sentiment is just dumb our politicians are just holding everything back, when we should be working with China for the betterment of the planet. They've always been responsible for making technology accessible, and every day.
