Wow the ads for this app keep appearing! It will be another blue sky in less than a year
Oh come on. Another centralised social media service that could be compromised. Wtf is wrong with these people
I think it’s hard to host a video-focused social media on the fediverse, I imagine it would have a high cost to maintain.
Build it on top of Bittorrent. If you like a post, you’re seeding it. When you want to stop seeding it, your like goes away.
Then popular things will have a large pool of seeds mitigating much of the bandwidth cost to the instance host.
With the side effect of making manipulating the voting algorithm with bots a lot more expensive.
I think people would be pretty quickly upset by the batter and storage drain from this. I have to imagine if picking an instance is a barrier to mastodon, most folks are not interested enough to learn the mechanics of why likes suddenly use system resources, and see it as a failing of the app.
Is “remain ‘impartial’ to political agendas” a dogwhistle for “tolerates Nazis” or have I just become too cynical
No you’re not too cynical. You’re paying attention
Ahh the topic for zero Lemmy/Fediverse fucks given.
Not federated. Nothing stops this app from getting worse in the future, right?
I trust my palestinian brother who created it
If they’re brown, they can’t let you down.
Idpol in a nutshell
I wish we had a good term to describe making assumptions about how an individual will behave based only on their nationality, race, or ethnicity.
Kanye never fails to entertain…
They’re leaving like redditors to Lemmy. There’s dozens of them!
It’s more like Twitter to BlueSky, which was a pinch more.
… and just resets the cycle
There is always Loops
Sadly no way to host your own instance yet, but it does look promising.
The git repo has a server installation guide.
IIRC that’s old news and you can now self host and there are other instances up.
Is there any discovery or list of other instances?
They are switching in huge numbers. Literally dozens!
I looked it up in the App store out of curiosity and holy crap that app almost as bad as TikTok for privacy. Though I suppose people jumping ship from TikTok aren’t too concerned about data privacy or else they wouldn’t have been using TikTok in the first place.
So, from the old brain rot to a new brain rot? Cool!
It may just be a hype but I’m upvoting it.
So when it was owned by China with the same spiral of destructive propaganda it was fine? ok
It will get worse than in China. It will be a tool to protect dictatorship in the usa, the american gestapo and protecting Israeli genocide
Presumably when China asked for your immigration status or sexual orientation, which they didn’t, it wasn’t to send you to the camps.
So yeah, for Americans it would be worse.
Was tiktok trying to prevent people from talking about the PedoTUS’s best bud Jeff, even in DMs? Or is that part cool with you?
I’m not that deep into MAGA lore that I’d knew what PedoTUS means or who’s Jeff and I’m sure TikTok sucks more than ever, but my point is, it always sucked infernally, from day one, and never should have been used in the first place.
PedoTUS
The president (POTUS)
Jeff
Epstein
never should have been used in the first place.
Yes, and now its much, much worse.
The president (POTUS)
The pedophile president, you can’t forget to address Donnie Diddler by his proper title
I prefer rapist/child rapist to describe him, a bit more direct and accurate.
Especially since people like him aren’t primarily pedophiles, because we all know that for the orange fuhrer it’s about having power over a human being that can’t defend itself, not because of attraction - he’s only attracted to gold.
Also accurate, and those titles would have been acceptable as well. We just have to remember to use them.
User has strong options on topic they know very little about, news at 11
How is the change any worse than the current state? Isn’t this all just propaganda anyway to tank the value after the change?
TikTok is now US-controlled media. They’re doing basically the same thing China does, using it to spread propaganda and suppress critical news. That’s why Biden wanted it gone but Trump, as usual, undid all of the progress that was made and used it to increase his personal wealth and power.
Isn’t this all just propaganda anyway to tank the value after the change?
What?!
Larry Ellison bought it last week, bad things you’re hearing isn’t “propaganda”…
It’s people who know what is happening, or even just who Larry Ellison is
They’re blocking the word ‘Epstein’ in DMs and also asking people to list their immigration status.
idrc since the algorithim sucks on all, tried desperately to make my feed only show me edm and 3d modeling/animation content, nope, I see the same controversial low effort garbage everyone sees
Hopefully jumping between different model but same shit highlights the bigger picture. And maybe just some of them may even say enough is enough.
