@augustus is minds good for a fb replacement, i saw my first "hey we should switch out of fb, find me on minds" post on fb the other day (unfortunately not from an acquaintance)
posts seem to be incredibly public though
-
@dolus @augustus the points thing sounds bad already, imagine incessant nagging every time you use it that goes "why aren't you minmaxing? you could be earning CASH"
-
@augustus ..maybe i should look into diaspora instead?
eh i don't really care actually, if enough normies decide to switch to minds i'll just go ahead with it
-
@augustus @dolus oh my god
-
@dolus @augustus well gab is a twitter-like service, right now we should be encouraging uptake of fb-like ones, since "dumb fucks" is hinting at a 2020 run
-
@augustus @dolus stahp
-
@dolus @augustus "theoretical federation" i'm assuming it's harder to deploy than mastodon, since nobody has attempted making another instance yet
but eh normies can't grasp the concept of federation anyway so
-
@dolus @augustus @shpuld what's post privacy like though? i like to keep it "mutuals only"
-
@shpuld @augustus @dolus though it's not like fb is the bastion of genuine interaction anyway
-
@dolus @augustus @shpuld it's still based on one-way follows isn't it
yes fb has that but the main type of connection is still forced mutuals..
-
@dolus @augustus @shpuld people already sell out for internet likes, imagine what they'll do if those likes actually had purchasing power
-
@shpuld @augustus @dolus i mainly use it to keep in touch with my (friend's) circle, and to try to nudge acquaintances away from the left
the former is more important
-
@donniethedumbass @augustus any better alternative that's more fb-like? diaspora?
-
@dolus @augustus @shpuld it's like saying just because you don't use mastodon it has no power over the federation
-
@lain normies will go "wuts a pod" though, not sure if it's viable to start an exodus
-
@dolus @augustus @shpuld not really, but i try my best
-
@lain having to associate with normies is the number 2 reason why i still have a fb
-
@donniethedumbass @augustus i just want something viable enough for normie acquaintances to switch to so they're no longer on fb
-
@ayy @lain unfortunately among normies i have no swaying power lol
"hey i'm jumping over to diaspora"
*nobody follows*
"nyoro~n"
-
@nepgear @lain @ayy you know what i mean
-
@dolus @augustus @donniethedumbass thing is the fediverse is more twitter-like than fb-like, and they serve two different purposes
-
@donniethedumbass @nepgear @lain @ayy if zuck is running in 2020 each normie left on fb and eligible to vote is pretty much a vote for him
-
@donniethedumbass @augustus @dolus i don't know what kind of image you have of me but it might or might not be pretty off
-
@hakui @nepgear @lain @donniethedumbass I can see it already. Facebook will apply a penalty to any post with hate speech so that you have to scroll down for 10minutes to see them in your timeline. And posts supporting Trump will be classified as Hate Speech. Then everyones feed will be 100% pro Zuckerberg, and then people will vote for him because that's what all their friends do.
-
@ayy @nepgear @donniethedumbass @lain >even making dissenting posts visible
-
@donniethedumbass @augustus @dolus i'll neither confirm nor deny that
-
@donniethedumbass @nepgear @lain @ayy we're trying to prevent that
-
@ayy @nepgear @donniethedumbass @lain or just shadowban everyone, twitter does that already
-
@donniethedumbass @augustus @nepgear @lain @ayy can't deprogram them if they're still soaked in it
-
@ayy @augustus @nepgear @donniethedumbass @lain it'll never catch on
-
@nepgear @donniethedumbass @lain @ayy why else would he tour the country going "how do you do, fellow humans"
-
@ayy @dolus @nepgear @donniethedumbass @lain "how do you do, fellow theists" https://freezepeach.xyz/url/840154
-
@donniethedumbass @dolus @nepgear the what in the what
-
@donniethedumbass @nepgear i'll neither confirm nor deny that
-
@ayy @dolus @nepgear @donniethedumbass @lain still better to minimize any variables and start moving now
-
@dolus @nepgear @donniethedumbass @lain @ayy no, as in move the normies out of fb
-
@dolus @nepgear @donniethedumbass @lain @ayy lad
i'm talking about moving them out of fb before the 2020 election season so that normies can see posts talking about zuckerberg going "dumb fucks" et. al so zuckerberg doesn't actually win and imposes merchant sharia on the internet
