Somehow read invertebrate, which kinda checks out given that arse doesn’t have a spine.

no worries. I wish I could, but I’m on disability benefits and below poverty line so I can’t exactly afford to host anything expensive.

I don’t have to own a peertube instance to be allowed to say it’s sad that video sharing is monopolised by billionaires.

(If I misunderstood your reply, I’m sorry, I’m just used to getting snarky comments here on lemmy)

It’s sad that to avoid twitter, owned by a far right billionaire, the alternative is the telegraph, owned by rupert murdoch, a far right billionaire.

“deep into russian territory” is quite an exaggeration. Biden only okayed it for the Kursk and neighbouring regions.

The U.S. official, who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly about the decision, said the U.S. is allowing Ukraine to use the weapons to target in and around Kursk — the same region where some 10,000 North Korean troops were recently deployed, according to the U.S. and its allies.

My mother in law who is an english teacher in Japan says the social media the children are consuming is distracting from their studies 😂.

The two main reasons people attack LW is:

1. people who criticise it because it is by far the largest instance, and thereby means lemmy isn’t as decentralised as it could be, I think this is a fair point, because it has caused federation issues with for example aussie.zone in the past.

2. Tankies who get mad the average lemmy.world user does not share their admiration for China, Russia, North Korea, Stalin, and Mao. Thereby accusing the whole instance of being “libs” and “bigots”.

Philosophical ramblings to justify my existence, which according to capitalism has no value because I don’t have the ability to work.

I’m thinking this too. Like I currently have a disease with a high mortality rate, will my partner, friends, family properly spread the word if I die, or are there some people I care about who it’ll never reach, I wonder.

The fuck is happening in the past few weeks in china? Loads of these kinds of incidents all of a sudden?

I mean it connects to lemmy, kinda like mbin.

That’s a good shout. I think I’ll do that in the coming weeks :).

I am bridged, but I prefer not to share my handle as my Mastodon and Bluesky accounts are have full name, while I want to keep the lemmy ones anonymous.

This is really cool.

Which of these make their data publically available?

Because the greatest scientific contribution would not be hording the data so you can publish your paper, but making it freely available, so any group of researchers can look through it and contribute to scientific knowledge by analysing the findings in different ways

And, social media, these days nearly as important, if not more important.

You (very understandably) hear a lot about state-sponsored (especially Russian) astroturfing, but very little about billionaire and company sponsored astroturing, which is very much a thing.

Not sure exactly what you’re asking, but it’s opt in.

So since I opted in, my mastodon account is shown as a bluesky account on bluesky.

But I can only follow bluesky accounts from mastodon if they’ve opted into the bridge, which seems to be a decent number, but still a small proportion. And the replies to my posts that are on bluesky, will only be visible to me from mastodon if the people replying have opted into the bridge.

I’m not using mastodon much anyways, because there are too little people there who care about what I post, but I use a service to post which automatically posts on mastodon / bluesky (and until last week when i opted out, twitter), so I’ll still be posting to mastodon even though it’s only for a handful of people compared to my 8k bluesky followers.

Yeah it works fine. My mastodon account has gained 40 followers from bluesky even though I have a bluesky account too!

perhaps. but the open source moderation list feature seems pretty cool, hopefully it’ll help.

Also they only follow a single person??

Like how do they expect their feed to be customised and filled with stuff they enjoy, when all they do is follow 1 person and make political posts and posts such as “bluesky sucks, mastodon is best”.
