You could spin one up this evening if you wanted. Or go use catodon.social.
That's not the point. The point is, there are reasons Mastodon is being rejected, just like there are reasons you seemingly cannot pay people to use a Misskey-based or Hubzilla-based website.
It's not where the people are going, and the public or semi-public figures are going to follow the people.
Open source options exist. We just need more people using OpenStreetMaps and shit.
No, no. Let him pace this out. The more it's drip fed, the worse PP's chances are.
So, think through how this looks in the long run. Hell, just think about what this prioritizes.
You have five communities covering the same topic. There's, what? 500? 1000? 2000 people active in them? Enough that there is a steady stream of posts and comments in all of them. They're all housed on separate websites, and those websites maybe have different goals and different rules. So, people start lumping them together in aggregate feeds.
What does that look like? In practice, how do users treat this?
They treat it as if they're all one community. As if they're all in one place. All managed by one cohesive set of rules (or, realistically, most people treat all spaces as if none of them have rules, and then put up a stink when they're met with the consequences of this).
Then, they start expecting to not see duplicates. So, which community's posts do they see when there are multiples? Oh, that's easy: all of them! They will start expecting comments to be merged. So, now you have people treating all of the communities not only as if they're interchangeable, but as if they're all one.
This is a backdoor to not just homogenization, but to quiet hostile takeovers of smaller communities by larger ones. All because users are too damn entitled to just pick one that most closely meets their needs and contribute to it.
We don't need meta-communities. We need people to get over their fucking FOMO.
Parliament also is not "we the people". And yet, it is Parliament that elects the Prime Minister. The they are under no obligation to elect someone who is a sitting MP. They never have been.
Yeah. The ones holding the cables started shouting Stop Talking to Each Other and Start Buying Things. And when that worked, they figured out how to make us stop talking and start buying.
Why switch to Mastodon when there is Misskey?
Why use Misskey when there is Hubzilla?
The NDP also did jack shit about NSP during it's term as goverenment.
Because you're giving such thoughtful and reasoned comments yourself.
We're a country of mostly trees and fields, so there's no lack of nature. Or remoteness.
I would try to find a map of areas serviced by fibre optic internet, and use that to target regions to look into.
Do note, though, that basically anywhere between the Rockies and, like, Fredericton gets right proper cold during winter.
It doesn't, actually! The lyrics are not saying "we have command of true, patriot love", but rather "Canada commands true, patriot love of us".
The English lyrics can be rewritten in prose as:
Canada, our home, compells us to feel great love for it. With great pride, we see it gain prominance, as a powerful and indendent country. From all places, Canada, we will defend you.
Please, God, we ask you to protect Canada's beauty and soverignty. Canada, we will defend you. Canada, we will defend you.
You have misread their comment and understood it backwards. AP's saying people on Mastodon are engaging in Lemmy discussions.
There is no way to follow Mastodon users from Lemmy. Lemmy simply does not work that way.
