Harder to do if you use Prime for other things. I’ve never watched a single Amazon video but I’m trying to source other purchase options locally so I can finally cancel the Prime shipping, which was saving our household money over the years. That said, if we can avoid it in the future we’ll stay off Amazon.
I didn’t even realize it was POSSIBLE to differentiate those sections let alone remove them. Thanks for inadvertently informing me.
Yet another clue as to why Google search sucks as time goes on.
Gifyu.com is incredibly slow at 100 kb/sec for me (I’m on gigabit). It’s been that way all week and I’m wondering if other noticed it too.
I just want a talking dolphin, is that so much to ask?
It should be emphasized, the above list is accurate for Social Interaction as the discussions and text have indeed waned. It does mention that at the end, but still.
For media sharing specifically, many of those above items are either trivial OR are actually what helps it thrive. Somehow, 30 years later, we’re still under the radar and maxing out connection speeds without having to VPN, seed, share or dodge ISP rules and DMCA requests.

All the tasty data collection and surveillance with none of the calories.
Incredible. He’s really taken the bait that this kid is a genius.
Historical precedent and #2/#3 on my list above make the case for erring on the side of caution. That and we’ve got far more to lose than to gain.

Actually, as great as Lewis writes and as acclaimed as his career is, he completely failed with SBF and fell for the con. He was so enamored with SBF he even told friends to “buy whatever Sam says” at one point. The case later releasing the slack chats contradict his book heavily and while it’s common for Lewis to cast controversial subjects in a positive light (Wolf of Wall Street), this one was over the top and a bit of a disaster.
In fact, Behind the Bastards did a great 2 part podcast this month specifically on SBF and Lewis’ embedding in his camp. It’s fascinating.
Whichever way instances decide to go there’s a few things people should remember:
Sure does seem that way.
You’re just the right kind of evil, that’s amazing.
Thank you, someone finally looking big picture. I see a lot of folks talking about things like “it won’t harm Threads” or “the federation is all about inclusiveness and joining together” and those people, while correct on paper, are missing the point.
Put simply, many instances would prefer not to deal with that unnatural influx, and that is their choice. In fact, the best part of the fediverse is not only that they CAN make that choice it’s that they can UNDO it later if need be. I can’t fault some of these smaller instances for being proactive in protecting themselves when few here really know what goes into running and moderating.
Some very interesting stats. I wondered who might take over as RARBG exited the scene.
