nothing has changed on twitter since they left, only worse, why
“We’ve decided to mingle with Nazis again”
It’s important to use clear language.
@owenfromcanada it’s such a low risk principle. If they break on this imagine what other things they break on. Completely untrustworthy and incompetent organization.
Idk it depends. Can’t evangelize the better way here because we know, those at X might not. FOSS is still a niche.
Those at X don’t care.
*most humans dont care. I’d say 90% have zero clue of the fediverse, and do not realize why big tech centralization is horrendous for humanity.
Tell me how many folks have converted to Lemmy or matrix or peertube from their corpo counterparts. Of my hundreds of fb friends, I have 2 that I had to basically twist their arm to use signal. 2. The rest go “oh haha idk what that is maybe I’ll look at it but everyone is already on fb I can’t leave”.
Its a losing battle and I’ve basically stopped trying. People refuse to change and will give all their info and data away without a thought.
Pretty much. We’re out in our own little bubble here. Which is both good and bad.
Basically, yes. That’s why the issue is with lawmakers, and going to shitty platforms with the excuse of “it’s to reach the people there” is like when “left” parties shift to the far right to try to reach their voters base.
Sorry but your comment is rather silly. You want to see this change on a legislative level? Okay sure, so do I, that would be great. But you also don’t want to reach out to people so that they care to make the change? Either because they culturally care or to write their reps. You should realize that those are connected and its why my fellow lemms don’t get to make real change as they not pragmatic about results.
I understand why you and others here feel that way. You are not wrong, but you are also implicitly surrendering your cause without firing a shot.
The people that understand are already here. The people that need to hear this are on Reddit/Twitter. Granted many don’t care. Just as many also don’t know to care one way or the other. By not reaching out to where they could be they will never know and become your ally. Therefore you have surrendered your cause as no one knew they could join it.
People have been screaming about these things for decades.
What was before coming from lack of awareness, is now caused by an increasingly wide gap between “sides” and it’s becoming an ideological war.
The ones that are not convinced by now, are convinced by the opposite side and aren’t going to switch. We need to stop thinking that we need to increase our numbers or whatever, and just act. Let’s not fool ourselves, a handful of moronic nazis able to change the world for the worst, it doesn’t take that many people to actually change stuff. It just requires stubbornness.
People have been screaming about these things for decades.
True. Guess what tho, not everyone heard you then and there are new people today that have not heard.
@InternetCitizen2 @owenfromcanada and to whom are they evangelizing on twitter? I’d genuinely like to see their growth campaign here because 100$ says it’s non-existent.
I have personally done twitter growth in the past and there’s nothing there unless you’re selling scams or shitcoins.
Most ppl know about twt/reddit not mastodon or Lemmy. That’s where newer users will be and you can drop comments to let them know about us here.
If us Lemmy/Mastodon users want more people, we could do our own “marketing” by creating engagement rage bait conversations on those posts … But do we want to? Probably not.
But do we want to? Probably not.
Fair, but then we can’t complain about why the internet is becoming less open.
It’s a legit argument either way honestly.
With the advent of LLM, we could (or even just a few of us, given the knowledge base of our atypical users) just start promoting our communities more aggressively on other platforms, and include onboarding tutorials and assistance.
But, I’m not going to be on the tip of that spear. I have other stuff going on lol.
It’s one thing to continue using the fascism pedophile app. It’s something else to leave and come back.
“the internet is changing” like all of a sudden neonazi techbros and their platform where they make genAI child porn are cool and okay again, according to Mozilla. absolutely bonkers shit take
To come back by practically apologizing!
Yeah if the only reason they came back were daily doodles of a firefox pissing on Trump or Musk that’d be fine, but they’re not doing that!
Why the fuck did they think coming back was a good idea? The internet is changing for the worse and xitter is one of the places that is making it worse, abandoning that shithole is a step into making things better
Why the fuck did they think coming back was a good idea
Money. It’s always money.
Man mozilla is so embarrassing these days.
Did a reinstall recently and noticed you can no longer delete the FAANG search engines from the browser, now you can only toggle them off. Made all the worse by a fun little pop-up with the redesign saying “Same settings, new look”.
So depressing watching them enshitify.
I guess Mozilla didn’t like seeing Mullvad get all the attention for supporting fascists, they had to do something!
What did Mullvad do?
Disappointing, but yet another reminder that corporations are not your friends
the mullvad ceo donated millions to a far-right Swiss party that supports views like remigration. and when I say millions, it’s not an exaggeration. he was their biggest donor.
remigration
To those that might not recognize the term, ethnic cleansing.
donated millions
Millions of SEK, which is around 600 thousand dollars. Which is still a lot because last year they had 20 thousand (dollars)
Why do they always seem so out of touch, it saddens me
What? They’re still run by the AI child porn generating nazis.
Usage of 卐 is approval of it. Embarrassing.
Why are you bringing Hindus into this?
Why is everyone acting like they’ve never seen a ninja-star?!?!
booooo fuck the site formerly known as Twitter.
@wraptile@fosstodon.org Wayland is the future, stop flirting with X, it is dead dead dead!
I lol’ed, thank you.
Please donate to mozilla so that they can buy a spine.
Great, they finish ripping MV2 out of chrome and here’s firefox ready to be whatever the fuck they want with impunity
not even gonna read the other comments, because
WHAT THE FUCK FIREFOX/MOZILLA
FUCK YOU!!!
They are positioning to inject CSAM generator Grok in the browser.
