I wish fewer people would "appreciate" micro-blogging and short videos in general. It has too much of an influence on public discourse and the short posts aren't really suitable for the complex issues we face today.

Particularly considering Facebook (I will die before I call it meta) blocked major Islamic Indians on their platforms as well as the biggest Islamic news outlet in India. Standing up your own instance on mastodon/lemmy/friendica/Pixelfed is the best way to avoid getting shut down by billionaires who kowtow to fascists.

Is that due to the war/skirmish/thing with Pakistan?

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 days ago

I think it’s due to the Modi government’s naked Hindu nationalism.

Japan still stubbornly holds on as well. Insta eventually started to take over some things from Twitter, but tons of stuff is still there. I created a BlueSky for the small business I'm starting here in Japan and my wife asked me what that was and why no twitter.

I don't get why more companies. Especially ones who might be concerned with control of their content like I dunno. lets say news agencies and the like. I don't get that they would not want to run their own instances and federate.

Especially when the Canucks account was hijacked by Elon Musk placing his crypto scam video as the top post on their page.

@Sunshine „Das einzig Vernünftige wird immer erst dann in Erwägung gezogen wenn alle anderen Möglichkeiten ausgeschöpft wurden!" Es wäre ja auch zu Blöde wenn man das Richtige macht solange man noch die Wahl hat zu Spinnen, sich Illusionen hinzugeben, Zeit zu verlieren und Geld zu verbrennen.

Tbh I have little interest in either of them
