I’m sure what this guy is saying has truth to it but here’s the actual problem.
The people.
Fediverse will never EVER hit critical mass unless the users and mods stop calling everyone they don’t agree with a Nazi. Mods need to actually enforce NSFW shit and do their job. Nobody is going to scroll in their off time when you can randomly have furry dick pop up.
The problem is the people. This place is hostile as fuck to the average user.

Good brands such as Costco (Kirkland) and Wegmans here do that work for you and well. I’ve never had a product that was noticeably expensive without the value.

You’re weird.
Because once you get off Lemmy/Reddit the world is just fine with white labeling.
If a company takes it’s time to build a brand I can trust the product I am perfectly happy paying a little extra. Wegmans does this heavily but in their boxes they have clear and consistent gf labeling. I’m happy to pay a bit extra.
Oh okay I guess things like the Iran treaty being broken Willy nilly is good for politics.
Ahh yes more of this garbage. Does it hurt knowing you can’t make the big tent work and you’re ineffective at making any change?
You’ll have to be more specific. I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

I like apps for stores I frequent. Most people do.
Having 150+ is a personal problem.
I don’t think that’s true in a full scale war. I think it is likely they cease to exist. I feel for them. I do not think immediately and rapidly pulling out will reduce civilian death.
I do think that more Palestinians will die if Iran and Israel go to full scale war.
Yep, international law be like that sometimes. It’s complicated.
Yeah but in the grand scheme of things the Reddit app is good enough for most. Decentralizing content is a good idea but in practice it cause issues for most users. Niche topics have almost zero chance in this environment. The big news subs dominate and duplicate posts from other instances and topics gets quadruple posted. I also don’t like the ideas of tankie and fascists having their own personal feeds to grow. I also really dislike the idea of everyone posting their furry habits on servers. To each their own but it’s a privacy nightmare, but most seem okay with the zero accountability of the instances. Lemmy.world is the only one I know of paying attention to that at all.
Anyway this turned into bitching about Lemmy which wasn’t my intent. I just wish there was a better in-between.
Not like they have bilateral signed and legally binding defense pacts or anything.
I’m not saying the US shouldn’t be twisting those levels levers and at least warning of decreased investment (which I believe is probably going on now for a few months privately) but immediately breaking ties, probably illegally breaking a defense treaty, and creating an immediate and huge power vacuum doesn’t seem like it’s going to save any more lives. I’d guess it would embolden Iran and full on war rather than this intensifying skirmishes would be happening.
You don’t turn around 75 years of investment on a dime.
I personally think there needs to be stabilization and the US/NATO work on improving relations with iran using divestment with Israel as the carrot over the next 10 years. Work to re-establish the nuclear deal and start to pull money from Israel over time.
It’s easier. They developed better apps and ux. It became centralized and instead of 20 forums you have a few apps. BBCode was a pain in the ass.
And yet the world goes on and cameras still exist.
Is your expectation that Apple will send in troops to raid phone stores inside of Russia?
I saw some naked monster out of even art the other day. It’s everywhere on LW as well as lemmynsfw.
