This is how parliamentary governments work, they figured out how to resolve the bug in the US system that always tends towards two major parties. However the two-party system, so I’ve read, is actually a tad bit more resistant to the fascism bug, as parliamentary systems can have outright fascist parties winning a minority of the vote eventually grow big enough to take over and end the system entirely.
Musk, people still on twitter. It’s absolutely rife with crypto people. And here musk is, stating before courts that he owns your account. I’m sure it works out great for him!
The fediverse as a whole has missed a huge opportunity here. I never see anyone talking about it as alternatives to twitter or tiktok, only bluesky and rednote. AFAIK we have no alternative to tik-tok that is viable right now, so I don’t know why anyone thought we could manage that one.
Interesting that it’s the same web3 proponents that are the first to say they own your entire digital identity and you have to like it
the fediverse needs a simple onboarding process like “signal”, to overtly simplify it for casual users. Also, I only heard about loops today and it appears so far it only has a specialized iOS app that requires a special “alpha” mode to be enabled, and no android app. Not exactly ready for primetime.
