I agree fully, but would say billionaires are fat cells
And that is exactly the situation in Russia: it's an
- right-nationalist ("rescuing" suppressed people from the evil Ukraine - that one is super ironic because it's exactly the same argumentation Germany used with the Sudetendeutsche)
- authoritarian (arrests for holding up empty pieces of paper, drafting for the war - but only in the poor areas far away from Moscow) regime
- centered on cultural identity (anti-gay laws, "restoring the CCCP", persisting propaganda comparing the Ukraine war with WW2, "we have to defend ourselves from NATO)
It's pretty late, so i don't repeat the exercise for China or bring up more examples - i'm pretty sure that if you try to counter my points someone else will give you more examples.
You ignore 50% of the political compass here - authoritarianism sucks just as much as fascism or unbridled capitalism.
but the only way to break through this is to change the platform. Since both of them already keep their posts equal on both sites, it makes switching easier for everyone; removing their content from Xitter would be an incentive for others to switch.
The ideal way would be to try and band together a large amount of "regular posters" and completely switch on an agreed date together; that would have a pull effect for others to do the same.
It seems that multiple people don't get what you are trying to say, and i would really like to know. if you have the time, could you elaborate?
and we are talking about reasons why people are still there - those two aren't one, because you can read their posts somewhere else too. Except if you meant that people are still there because those two are still there.
It does not restrict them per se, it's just that the mechanics of what to show you are either simply based on posting time, or amount of "interactions" or "interactions/time" or similar simple algorithms. It would be possible to analyze posts for specific content and show you for example ragebait only, but i doubt that pull request would be accepted - you would probably have to make a fork of your fediverse platform and implement it there.
I did something similar, was deep in the gothic scene at the time, put on my best makeup and goth bling, came with my equally goth gf, and behaved pretty out of it. My school time was hell, so it was fair retribution.
i know that it's configured as a D-pad by default, but it's missing haptic feedback - there's not enough of an indicator where on the touchpad your finger rests, and if you lose the central position, have fun finding it again without looking. i often tried it. but it's simply inadequate as a D-pad.
