actually it is the exact opposite. Feds love decentralized organizing that is completely ineffectual. Why do you think anarchist thought is essentially entirely an american project that is never snubbed out? If you actually challenged power you’d be assassinated. See: long history of US agitators that were actually merc’d by the US govt as a direct result of them actually challenging power.

They’re starting to convert the tacoma into an emotional support vehicle unfortunately, with the latest model year. :(

every little bit helps, hopefully the steady “drip” of user growth can take over, in the long run. As long as people stay on these platforms.

Ugh this type of bullshit infighting within leftist spaces is about as serious as debating your tabletop RPG actions, and sends regular people packing. None of this shit matters. Real people don’t care about it and they have no idea what a tankie is. Feds love this bullshit. We’re losing, we lost, the world is becoming a fascist hellscape but apparently somebody has time to make memes about fighting each other. It’s amazing how that always seems to happen, especially now when you’d think most people could feel unified?

the fediverse needs a simple onboarding process like “signal”, to overtly simplify it for casual users. Also, I only heard about loops today and it appears so far it only has a specialized iOS app that requires a special “alpha” mode to be enabled, and no android app. Not exactly ready for primetime.

The fediverse as a whole has missed a huge opportunity here. I never see anyone talking about it as alternatives to twitter or tiktok, only bluesky and rednote. AFAIK we have no alternative to tik-tok that is viable right now, so I don’t know why anyone thought we could manage that one.
