I think that instance has defederated with some other highly active instances (like mine) so unfortunately we can’t really help much there.
One of the drawbacks of how the fediverse works, I guess, though discouraging centralization is also good.

An effect that becomes less surprising with repetition. At some point, it’s no longer a “surprising effect” but an entirely expected one.
These fuckers should just release digital first, and physical comes when it’s done being printed and distributed. This anxiety over “oh no a finished game got leaked early” is manufactured drama. If the game is done, then it doesn’t matter when it gets released, except for artificial marketing angst. Make a good game that players want, and it’ll be purchased. Eventually. It doesn’t have to all happen at exactly the predicted moment.
So you can type without making any meaningful points? How is this a comment?
This kind of confusion illustrated by Telegram users is exactly why it was the right thing to do for privacy when Signal removed support for SMS because it’s not encrypted. People still whine endlessly about it, but most users are not very savvy, and they’ll assume “this app is secure” and gleefully send compromised SMS to each other. All the warnings and UI indicators that parts of the app were less secure (or not at all in the case of SMS) would be ignored by many users, resulting in an effectively more dangerous app. Signal was smart to remove those insecure features entirely.
I’m not necessarily disagreeing with your overall point here (I have no idea why people engage with shorts, maybe they do love that format) but I wanted to push back a little on the idea that a product must be popular simply because corporations continue to offer them. Especially with social media, where users are actively discouraged from making their own decisions as much as possible by The Algorithm.
I think there are plenty of examples of things that people continue to use (and often even pay for the “privilege”) despite major aspects of those things being generally reviled by everyone who uses them:
OnlyOffice can also be integrated with NextCloud or WordPress or a bunch of other stuff. I believe it can also be used standalone. Personally, I found it’s interface much more polished and usable than Collabora, though it’s been a couple years since I compared.
Three Body Problem?
I disagree, that’s an ideal time to exert labor leverage and make it more obvious to executive turds that workers have solidarity with each other.
Wasn’t that the Loki show, where all of time is run by a boring dystopian corporate bureaucracy?
Now that I think of it, I guess you’re right, that show probably did do better than Black Adam.
I don’t know that we can necessarily rely on bot creators to never implement automated ban appeals.
Oh you mean like is currently happening right now without socialism?
The small business part of the transition is “easy” (or at least, not any harder than maintaining a capitalist business), people have been and are currently doing this already. They are known as worker-owned cooperatives, and are often extremely liberating to those who make the effort. Depending on the industry (and the government you live under), it’s not even that difficult, roughly on the order of forming a freelancing agency. There are also entire organizations dedicated to assisting with corporate transition to cooperative structure.
Here are some good examples of resources in the US to start learning that process:
Looking through their comment history, they proclaim their honesty quite often, it’s pretty funny when you’re looking for it 😆
I’ve now tagged them so I’ll remember that they are very honest:
I’ve been enjoying Apostrophe:
Both owned by Google, unfortunately, so not a surprise I guess.
Vortex seems to work fine using Lutris now. I’m not sure when it changed, but at some point recently I figured I’d give it a shot again and just downloaded and ran their installer exe and it worked.
Democrats say “vote!” -> not enough people actually vote
If it’s known that voting isn’t effective for whatever reason (including turnout) then suggesting it in the first place is a marker that one is unserious about realistic solutions and should be ignored.
Not all of us are ageist assholes. Shocker, I know.
Oh, odd, I must have been doing something wrong then! Thanks a bunch for pointing that out.
