Yeah but the tomato pureé you guys make is way more delicious than the tomato paste that comes out of tubes this guy is referring to.

Except there are a lot of people like the first half of the parent I replied to that have a “Israel reaped what they sowed on October 6” attitude. But somehow don’t have a similar “they have reaped what they sowed” attitude towards Gaza right now.

Which isn’t quite right.

No one wants to share their toys since 1917. Both sides have alternatingly done ugly things that are, to our modern sensibilities, probably war crimes and ethnic cleansing. Previously, it was just war.

We did the same/worse things to Native Americans. Spain and Portugal did the same/worse things to the Aztecs and Incas. Britain did the same/worse things to almost everyone.

I just don’t think either side is justified but pretending like Palestine is any more or less of a victim than Israel in this whole mess doesn’t really seem to ring true if you look at the whole history.

Not for nothing, but pork bun has been great for me.

Smart, put your headquarters somewhere that takes freedom of speech seriously, just like…. wait, where did you say they were headquartered again?

Pretty good is not at good as good.

Yes, but also fuck spez.

I think this places too much blame on mods. Reddit is a corporation and they were going to do what they’re going to do.

Power users cared about 3p apps, the average redditor probably didn’t even know they existed.

It was never going to “succeed” if success was that Reddit backtracked from their position. It would have made spez look too weak.

I think it did cost them a lot more than they suggested in the short term, and I think it’ll cost them more in the long run too.

Lemmy is going to become a real competitor. And it probably never would have previously.

Oh interesting. I thought it was.

Oh interesting, I thought I had read that it did.

No question they’re scumny. But because I’m not browsing their instance logged into their platform, they can’t see what i grab. Maybe they can fingerprint requests my client makes to load images, but the text of posts is going to be grabbed from the federated instance I’m logged into.

They won’t inherently be able to tell me from any other lemmy.world user I don’t think.

Of course anything I post that goes over there as part of federation will be tagged to my user, but they won’t be able to track me across the entire internet from that the way they can if I were logged into their service.

I don’t know the exact privacy implications but I do know that I haven’t accepted their privacy policy which certainly limits what they can do (because they haven’t gotten me to agree that they can do anything they want).

Unless China blocks all activitypub traffic, that’s a losing game of whack-a-mole. Or I guess they could scrape the federations of the instances they want to block and add them in real time.

But yeah, you’re right it isn’t designed to evade state level censorship.

I mean maybe. Part of the beauty of this is that I also get to consume Threads content without being subject to any of their data collection outside of what I post and interact with. I can consume their content, they of course can consume mine, but they can’t actually track what I consume.

As of yesterday, the largest is of course Threads. Not sure if it’s actually mastodon, I assume not, but it does use ActivityPub and is part of the fediverse.

Or maybe not as a lot of people have pointed out that it isn’t actually federated with anything yet, so maybe it isn’t activitypub.
