    ‘It’s Total Chaos Internally at Meta Right Now’: Employees Protest Zuckerberg’s Anti LGBTQ Changes

    Jump

  • In fairness, do we know for certain what happened in Facebook back then? Maybe some employees did protest, maybe they're the same people protesting now, even. Or they quit. Thing is, LGBT issues make engaging articles. Third world suffering? Eh, it depends.

    Yet, I agree with the overall point because this is the crux of the matter: on average, one of these simply matters more—one way or another, see transphobes cheering—for people of this subgroup. This is us.

    The usual notes apply: good on them for protesting, big media isn't helping, fully ethical employment is like fully ethical consumption.

  • This a shitpost in a humor community, so I'm probably over thinking it... But from the very first time I saw that text, it felt a bit like a heterosexual man joking that his dick would fix a lesbian. Not a huge fan. This version with an anime background somehow makes it worse.

  • No, you can still be fugly on the inside. These are separate and the lack of one doesn't imply anything about the other. You might be able to fix one of them, though... ask a plastic surgeon.

    Jump

  • That's surprising. But this feels like a nice way to frame it, if so:

    ... they are no longer identifying as the gender they were assigned at birth. That makes them trans ...

    The other commenter mentioned this might be casting too wide a net, and I lean towards the "abolish gender" team, myself, so I'd be curious to hear what others think about it, especially MtF, FtM and similar(?) people.

  • Sorry for responding to your serious comment with such a dumb thing, but shouldn't it be queerphobic or something else? I thought transphobia pertained to cases involving trans folk.

    Could ask a search engine, but sometimes communities like this have a more nuanced answer.

  • Don't worry, cheaper solar panels, electric cars and entrepreneurs will save humanity. And by humanity I mean a specific share of the world's developed nations. Discourse on this frustrates me to an unhealthy degree.

    If you promote techno-fetishism laden, borderline tech-bro driven or shitass bill gates financed media, please reply so I may wish upon your remaining bloodline an everlasting mildly inconvenient curse.

    And if you like Kurzgesagt tech videos, please reply so I may respectfully call you a fucking donkey.

    Curious, what countries exactly are you thinking of?

  • Fun requires being alive, requires money, requires work, demands time. Getting fun can get complicated. There isn't a true answer to this conundrum as far as I know—not an inspiring one, at least. Makes me think about what human life is supposed to look like.

  • Technology Connections' thoughts on Mastodon

    Jump

  • Maybe this is part of why I keep bouncing off Mastodon. It feels tight-knit. It's about individuals, about relationships.

    I don't fit in such a system. I've nothing to offer in a relationship, I cannot be a "comrade." Still, I want news, media, and easily accessible knowledge being shared.

    So, I'm a lurker, a consumer. I tend towards anonymous forums and spaces centered around topics rather than people. Or, I seek celebrities, and sellers, and content creators.

    Either sort-of give me something I want, while Mastodon doesn't. Too focused on the people, but without big names to follow.

  • Which marketing and better how, exactly?

    Can anyone please point me an example of Bluesky marketing that isn't word of mouth or large-event headlines on the news?

  • The wonders of ActivityPub allow Mastodon users to interact with Lemmy, actually. Wild stuff.

  • Putting aside control and anecdotes, neither of which would be fair to comment on without more context and a lengthier discussion, this breaks the email metaphor a bit, doesn't it?

    The Fediverse is just like email, where we all talk to each other, except Outlook blocked Gmail because MS and Google had a fight during a meeting so you're gonna have to migrate to Yahoo or learn to self-host.

    That's not necessarily a criticism, I just find it funny.

    Jump

  • Maybe you're already aware, but bluesky doesn't operate with instances like in ActivityPub land.

    I've seen many people I believe are using their own PDS, but yes, discoverability is likely better because a relay is meant to aggregate and share all data it can (look up "bluesky firehose").

    P.S. Mastodon's devs are part of a new initiative to improve this area of the Fediverse. Because it's so recent, we'll have to wait to see how it goes.

  • Speaking of features, I'm somewhat surprised more people aren't interested in Misskey and co., especially compared to Mastodon's overwhelming share of the Fediverse pie.

  • FWIW you can probably report that. While trying Bluesky, I reported some crappy stuff and I can't remember any that was still up when I checked later.

    How did she find my account?

    Just like Mastodon/AP, data is mostly public by default. I assume it doesn't take much to find new accounts to spam. We're usually talking about bots here, not normal user accounts, just to be clear.
