This is silly. The web is not in decline and Google is not at fault. Most of the web is garbage, and Google helps us find the information buried in a sea of ads and repetitively copied/reworded content. We are moving to a world where putting up a plagiarized page with tons of ads will not be profitable. The sooner that day arrives, the better.

I agree. I also notice a constant push to ban anything that is deemed offensive, which in most cases is just a statement of opinion that someone did not like.

Agreed but it bugs me that I need to pay Reddit to not see ads and on top of that they get paid for the content we produce. The fediverse is a better model.

I don’t object to my content being used for training. I do object to Reddit profiting from that data. It’s the reason I basically don’t participate on Reddit anymore. Anything I post in the fediverse I am aware I am offering it up for free to be crawled and used as seen fit as long as it is not monetized without my consent. I don’t consider model training to be monetization.

Yeah, let’s defederate from a major player that wants to participate in the decentralized nature of this protocol. That way we further fragment Mastodon and guarantee its failure in the long run! Good call!!!

En general, yo trato de probarlos todos, pero casi siempre uno descubre que hay unos cuantos que son los ganadores y el resto es más de lo mismo.

The last Bean release was one month ago. I would not judge that as development that is dead.

I do notice that Avelon seems to update quicker and refresh quicker than Bean, but I’m not sure if that’s just perception 

My problem with mastodon is the same one I have with Twitter. It’s very easy to get up and running. You can get a feed filled with nonsense to read but if you’re actually interested in any topic, it’s really hard to get a feed that matches your interest. 

I think most of the stats are deceiving. In my opinion, most of the actual activity or users read, and comment happens on Lemmy, as opposed to mastodon where you mostly just have observers. 

Hiding read posts is a nice feature. I guess they become unread as soon as there is a new comment? Any other clients have this feature?

As I play with all these options, I get the feeling there isn’t a clear winner here. They are all pretty good, but they all have similar features. 

Just installed thunder. It does seem pretty cool.

People always find some objection to everything.

All this verbiage in the article and no indication as to exactly what the tweet was and why X did not rake it down. Just point to the tweet and let the reader make up their own mind.

I have a Keyboard Maestro command to type out the clipboard instead of pasting it. Some developers just love exerting control over everything. I’m sure this one is done in the name of security, which is silly.
