We're in the Washington Post wheeee https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2018/03/23/the-new-technology-that-aspires-to-deletefacebook-for-good/

With PeerTube approaching a full release, are there any similar projects out there, #fediverse -compatible Instagram/Flickr replacements?

How can a company run by humanoids actually be this bad? How do these ads pass any levels of approval?

SQL is pronounced "squirrel"

So @Gargron , when do we start the crowdfunding to sue @hiveway for license violation ?

Hahahaahahaha holy shit. Hiveway is a fork of Mastodon with blockchain slapped on top, selling ICO tokens, and John McAfee is involved. Wew lad

again a great chance to introduce many new people to the #fediverse.

#Vero is getting hudge attention over #twitter. It's a new social network, co-founded by a capitalist that left thousands of their workers unpaid in a dessert camp, and even stoped food, electricity...suply.

We can:
- make that visable
- highlight the anti-capitalist values of the fediverse
- expand on the beauty of federation and free software
...

-> tweet by using #Vero
-> rt to give tweets higher ranking
-> spread it

So just aheads up since people here have been into it: Vero is apparently run by a fuckhead who at his previous company jsut.... didn't pay a ton of Filipino workers. Also there's only one woman in the company, and she's relagated to customer service.

They also have some VERY dodgy lines in the TOS about their rights to work posted on the site.

So maybe don't post art there out of caution. Here's a Twitter thread with sources: https://twitter.com/_heyheytyler/status/968301107536523265

Like wow, seriously:

You pay
To be advertised to
On an app designed to limit engagement
While they grab your phone number, encourage you to use your real name (irrelevant, because they have your fucking phone number) and sell you content you could just search for. Oh, and the subscription fee basically means they're selling your content (and everyone else's) to each other.

This is a foolish app and a dumb idea and a waste of tiiiiiiime.

The end.

Hey friends, sometimes it's worth taking a minute and really try to understand what someone is trying to get out of a post, and not respond with something which is the complete opposite sentiment...

Thanks in advance!

I should just schedule this post once a day for all the bros. https://kitty.town/media/JU8IXWgdK5b5XMfsU_Q
