Awww poor Musk. Maybe stop helping Russia by giving them access while denying Ukraine. Also fuck you for ruining Twitter .

Edit - apparently coverage on the Crimean coast was never activated. Still dickish for helping Russia. They're sanctioned up the wazoo and this might come back to bite him. Starlink is a recipient of US Federal Assistance and that can easily be leveraged.

Twitter was never good, it was just popular.

I like that you can follow scientists and authors directly at the source though.

For what? Is your life in any way any meaningfully different? Why is it important to be connected to people that you don't know, will never know, and will never interact with? Wouldn't a better expenditure of energy go towards fostering relationships with people in your community?

[–] nivenkos@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The free exchange of ideas.

[–] aniki@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And that's only possible on twitter?

[–] nivenkos@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

At least it's easier.

I think Mastodon kinda has the same setup too, but they had all the issues with server-level cascading blocklists and stuff that put me off.

I don't want to be blocked from seeing the posts of someone I'm interested in on another server just because the admin of my server refuses to block another server which refuses to block posts from servers where some users have posted "offensive" content, etc. - like it's so many levels of separation it's ridiculous.

yeah the blocklists were a mistake, instead of the interconnected new internet we just got even worse social bubbles and isolation, the only difference from current social networks is that it's not algorithms doing it, but admins.

And you're on Lemmy?

Message board isn't social media. I don't follow any of you fucks. I don't give a shit.

[–] Veneroso@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Then why complain about what another person decides to waste time on the Internet while you're wasting time on the Internet? I'm replying to you while taking a shit so that's multitasking.

Every media that allows you to be social is a social media

[–] aniki@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

That's the dumbest fucking nonsense I'll read all day today. Thanks!

Message board isn't social media.

Social. What we're doing now.

Jazzhands Media!

Facebook is just a message board with different features.

[–] aniki@lemm.ee 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yes. It's called profiles, that you use to generate links, socially, within your peer group.

Not a fucking message board. You don't get to re-define history just because something new came up.

[–] Syn_Attck@lemmy.today 0 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Reddit and Lemmy are just as much social networks as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn. You don't get to stay in 2010 just because you want to pretend you're not doing something you don't like.
