Yes. Those are good points.
- Comment on The inarguable case for banning social media for teens 1 day ago:
Why is that?
- Comment on The inarguable case for banning social media for teens 1 day ago:
Initial meetings and other communications like where to meet in person, etc.
- Comment on The inarguable case for banning social media for teens 1 day ago:
I don’t believe you read the article nor gave this any thought before you made your flippant comment. Also, you give no reasoning for your dogmatic statements.

Right? Use Firefox or a derivative (ex. LibreWolf). Ladybird will be coming out in the future so that may be a viable option.

Also, it isn’t ‘decentralization’ in the strictest technical sense. That’s what the Decentralization Scoring System is trying to show.

It’s meant to explain what decentralization is and is not. That’s all.

more people need to self-host, or at the very least we need more mon-and-pop style datacenters.
most would rather offload hardware costs and, more importantly, security, to those more knowledgeable.
running one’s own hardware is extremely time intensive, nevermind power and equipment costs
These three points that you’ve made are NOT accurate. I could go into great detail as to why this is but I won’t waste our time nor embarrass you.
The problem, unfortunately, always comes down to money.
This isn’t a technological problem.
All of the popular widely used corporate platforms gain more users because they have the money in which to market/advertise themselves.

- Comment on Bluesky may soon add blue check verification | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
Copying a comment from Reddit:
Yeah. This is good. E.g. an account claims to be a NYTimes journo, it can then be verified by the NYTimes account. Or an account claims to be an NBA player, that gets verified by the NBA / team account. And each of those verifications will show who granted it.
Contrary to the predictable FUD in this thread, it decentralizes control. Makes it meritocratic - i.e. you earn the privilege to issue verification by proving to be a known and credible source.

- Comment on Which Browser Should I Use In 2025? 1 week ago:
As stated by @furrowsofar@beehaw.org Firefox or a derivative. I use Firefox Developer Edition and have learned how to turn off all of the spying crap. Otherwise, I’ll LibreWolf every once in a while.

We must have better moderation tools if we ever want this instance to grow.
- Comment on Bluesky’s Quest to Build Nontoxic Social Media 2 weeks ago:
I understand all of that. What I’d like the OP to address is how Bluesky could turn into something resembling Twitter if it’s, technically, very different.
- Comment on Bluesky’s Quest to Build Nontoxic Social Media 2 weeks ago:
Did you read the article? Do you understand, technically, how Bluesky differs from Twitter (X)?

Yes. This is the best explanation of why people choose the platforms they use.
- Comment on X’s dominance ‘over’ as Bluesky becomes new hub for research 2 weeks ago:
I don’t believe it has anything to do with people’s fear. More money means more marketing power. It’s that simple.
