You could put your website behind a cloudflare anti bot check. But realistically, your website is public facing and these bots are scraping the public web. They will eventually get the data from your website.

Bluesky did a lot right. I really hate it because of that. I think its going ot eventually win out and become exactly the same as twitter.

I dont find them addictive, just useful.

I dont want corporate platforms to be the only ones to implement recommendation algorithms. The problem with the platform is its a blackbox not that it has algorithmic recommendations. And the fediverse will do it, there is already the beginnings of recommendation algorithms.

Those arent the steps. There is a 6th one because you have to go find content. Whats served up by default is random and not very good compared with the algorithmic feeds of other platforms.

probably lemmy.ml

I like discussion and hearing different point of views. Lemmy is great for one side but i’ve supplemented it with reading HackerNews. I find the discussion on there way more good faith and even though its stupidly pro AI I still like reading why people like AI and posts about how they are using it.

Mostly im just hear for Tech and Linux and memes. After leaving Reddit I barely ever return. Sometimes i open up a sub to scroll the top posts of the month to see if anything was missed

Anime thighs = good

Every other religon = bad

Simple really

ok defed them all idc. Defed .ml to if you want to use the bar analogy.

There is already a ton of open fascists on this platform. Our instance is defederated with some but not all of them. This is due to rule breaking behavior

obviously but until they break the rules the whole instance shouldnt be defederated. I highly doubt an instance called magaland is going to last long though.

Good, the more people on this protocol the better. If they behave then they shouldnt be defederated. But most maga beliefs are already breaking every rule.

Its hard to replicate because it requires a shift in culture of multiple generations. The simple fact is Americans dont trust government or institutions and they are actively ignorant on most subjects and will not agree on anything.

Safe storage laws, licenses and responsibility for anything that happens with your gun. No public carry laws. Removal of gun owning rights for people that commit violent or drug related crime. These are like the bare minimum needed to have a society with guns.

Police vists for people acting unhinged online and check they dont have any illegal weapons. Different classes of licenses with increased scruity.

Polish Dancing Cow song is upbeat and catchy but the lyrics are about a man struggling with his cocaine addiction.

I wish we could emulate this. Even on a small scale and just grow it but we have actual ghouls in control.

You have to draw your own lines. For me I dont focus on all the bad choices, I pick something im interested in and then look at the options and try pick the choice I like the most. One thing at a time and before you know it you’ve made major choices in several areas of daily life.

I need this i’ve been struggling to replace spotify.

Yes but we like mastodon because they’re open and if they fuck up we can move away at any time. Bluesky is completely closed except the protocol and the network is fully centralized. They’re just waiting until they have enough marketshare to enshitify.
