@dangillmor the Internet routes around problems. And pushes capabilities to the edge. But the pendulum always swings between centralized and decentralized. At least in the ~40 years I’ve been in this

@shanecelis @quephird yeah the moment I saw it was a Republican that started the impeachment it was clear they were doing something underhanded.

I should talk about the other half of this...

After about a year and a half of Babka, I was having some discussions with @raf about Mastodon and its structural failures- these included his ideas around context collapse, audience vs community, and my experiences with moderation, etc.

Around that time, I asked the Babka community (which was about twice as large as it is today) to fill out a survey about what they valued in Babka.

Those conversations and that survey turned into the next two and a half years of work by me to make a new online Jewish space that would address the problems I see with the Fediverse.

Just under a month ago that effort went into beta, and it's called Rugela.com. It's still under heavy development, but I already enjoy it more than I enjoy it here.

If you're Jewish, you can ask me for an invite and I'll bring you in. I think you'll like it.

@charlotte I think the joke is usually phrased something like "does the queen use the toilet? no she has people for that"

@itsfoss nice, beats connectwise 😂

The AI companies' control freakery now extends to prohibitions on doing totally useful things to control our own devices. They're pushing us more and more quickly toward local models (running queries on personal devices).

News: Sen.-Elect Stratton continues strong opposition to Sen. Schumer | News 34

"What you just heard from voters so strongly over this last election a week ago, that they want new voices, new energy. They want people who are really tapped into what's happening in our communities and are going to fight for us at a time that we now have the majority and can really deliver for people,"

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).

the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.

another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.

size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

What are behind these conspicuous omissions or conspicuous inclusions are the same thing:

These gentiles appear uncomfortable thinking about Jews outside their own contexts.

Either these Jews are "white men" or else their Jewishness must only exist in relation to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

It's their own biases and discomfort on display. Their "persecutor/persecuted" framework leaves no room for Jews, especially not prominent Jews.
