The Quuuuuill

i see you found it already, but this reminds me of ohip’s challenge

“failing” implies that’s the goal, when we know that meta promotes disinformation because it benefits them

ban elon’s characters for a guaranteed boost in ratings

i have the legal right to stand on the street corner and call everyone who walks by a stupid slut.

that does not mean i will at no point get punched

fwiw, they only don’t shed the caps during birth rarely

yes, if for no other reason than that they’re tricking you into thinking they’re more fun than they are. you can have more fun playing other games with actual mechanic designs

A lot of regular people get swept up into the default

this is the terrifying thing about hegemony. the ruling class uses it to convince people to think things are normal that aren’t. racism is only 400 years old. across the globe societies had trans and non binary people until colonialism arrived in their place. so called “barter” societies that predated currency weren’t using resources in inefficient systems of trade, they were just sharing with eachother because compassion and love for our neighbors is far more default and natural to us than religious leaders want you to think.

i know there are. that doesn’t change the fact that only 46% of americans support israel. not a majority. i’m not using lemmy as my basis, i’m using the best most up to date data available, and that indicates a majority of americans do not support israel

the majority of Americans don’t support israel. it’s a superwealthy minority who dictates policy. the issue is too many americans have been propagandized to believe they have no power, no voice

it’s called “racketeering”

I agree and also don’t at the same time. It’s coming from a genuine place of you get more driveby contributions on Github than you do Gitlab or Codeberg, but at the same time, people will ultimately go where the projects are, and I think the more open source code we host on Codeberg the more users we’ll get on Codeberg, and the more Codeberg users we get the more driveby contributions projects will get on Codeberg. Like I get where an individual project is coming from preferring Github over Codeberg, BUT where we are currently where everyone is preferring Github over codeberg is ultimately just us strangling ourselves. I think when Microsoft bought GitHub and a lot of projects moved to Codeberg, and then again when Microsoft started pushing Copilot hard… IDK, I guess what I’m getting at is WHAT IS THE HOLD UP PEOPLE! Move your projects to Codeberg! And when you’re looking for solutions to problems you’re having, look on Codeberg first. For one thing, it’s actually lowkey nicer to use at this point, and it does have enough traction that you should get enough driveby contributions to be worth your while

(i agree entirely, but i have to accept a lot of people just go wherever the most users are)

if that happens, people should migrate to gitlab or forgejo. gitlab is a Ukrainian company, and forgejo development is primarily driven by Codeberg in Germany.
