It would be if there wasn’t a very simple way to completely disable pocket

There have been testflights (Apple betas) for the pixelfed app, so it’s in development. Unsure about the quality of 3rd party apps though

Yeah, like pretty much all platforms on the fediverse, they’re not owned by large companies, and don’t try ads or selling user data for profit

I don’t like when people say “AI just traces/photobashes art.” Because that simply isn’t what happens.

But I do very much wish there was some sort of opt-out process, but ultimately any attempt at that just wouldn’t work

“Our logo is our most recognizable asset. That’s why we’re so protective of it.” -Twitter’s (Currently Outdated) Brand Toolkit Page

Ah, that’s fair. Do you think you’ve changed your mind on it, or do you believe that it’s sort of a con of these platforms?

Ah, I’ve used Photopea for years now and I never would have thought it would have functioned on mobile. Thanks for the tip!

I hate living in a world where undercover agents are sent to all ages “Drag Queen Christmas” events

Yeah, it is very possible for us to not let Meta win. Acting like the Fediverse is doomed isn’t productive at all.

Beehaw said that they blocked some instances like lemmy.world because they were getting lots of trolls and hateful people from those instances, and they don’t have the moderation tools to ban each offending account, so their best option was to defederate from those instances.

Beehaw admins did say though that they were willing to refederate, and I believe are working with some of the admins of the other instances to refederate.

But I also believe that the job of the Beehaw devs shouldn’t make the platform that is the easiest to migrate too, but instead should be to make the platform that is best for their community.

A big similarity being Twitch and Reddit don’t create the content, they rely on users of the platform. Hope this becomes a message that users can’t be expendable
