You’d see comments and posts from their users on other instances that don’t block Meta.
It’s unclear how many users you would actually exclude, I think a lot of users who are on the fediverse right now don’t want to have anything to do with Meta.
As the fediverse grows, there will be different bubbles with not much interaction between those, mainly because some instances won’t be moderated while others will try to create discrimination free environments.
They shouldn’t just defederate from Meta, they should defederate from any other instances that federate with Meta. Like a firewall against late stage capitalism
I think there should be an alliance of instances that defederate from any instance that federates with Meta.
Hosting it on Google Docs, I like the irony!
The issue with Reddit is not that devs were making third-party apps for it… it’s with the people running the platform.
The issue with the App Store is not that devs are making apps and distribute them there… it’s with the people running the App Store.
People should stop praising “an actual app” as an advantage.
There is nothing in functionality that a good PWA can’t do well for a Lemmy client. It’s cross platform and can be used in the browser of your choice, without the lock-in to a single app store.
People are coming from a closed system like Reddit because Reddit abused it’s power and now they’re asking for apps in a store where another company might do the same. I don’t get it.
In mid-May 2023, the home of one of Kolektiva.social’s admins was raided, and all their electronics were seized by the FBI. The raid was part of an investigation into a local protest. Kolektiva was neither a subject nor target of this investigation. Today, that admin was charged in relation to their alleged participation in this protest.
It’s from May and it’s the FBI, so no, I would say it’s not in relation to the situation happening in France.
I’d say it could lead to some kind of revolutionary movement, but for that it would be helpful if there was already some kind of organized resistance, which I think is not the case. It’s definitely a test of Putin’s power and will show how good repression and propaganda have been. I’m afraid it’s been good and if there is a shift in power, it will just be new assholes with money and weapons, not a revolution. But we’ll see, it’s definitely interesting to watch.
If you’re interested in resistance movements and when they’re likely to succeed, here’s a good start: https://fullspectrumresistance.org/
It’s started by the military, so it’s a coup, maybe a revolt. In my definition, a revolution is done by the people, not the military.
That’s like suggesting calling your phone provider when your phone doesn’t work.
So it’s a browser?
