The more things change, the nore they stay the same.
Nope. Not buying into that.
It could have been really good.
Comcast's internet service is like if you ordered a pizza and they told you it'd be there between 4pm and 12 midnight, but then it never comes and the next day they bring you a cold calzone that doesn't even have the toppings you chose, and while delivering it they ask you if you want to upgrade it to a warm pizza
"This has all happened, before. And, it'll all happen, again."
Happy Solstice amd first day of summer, everyone.

Is anyone working on something more like Diaspora* with ActivityPub?
.@Blender's videos on #YouTube have now come back, but they are also being told by Google/YT that they HAVE to monetise them. #Blender are considering refusing, which presumably would mean the videos being taken down again:

Whatever they once stood for, #Google's aim now is exploiting their users' content for maximum profit.
If you don't want your videos to be exploited, it is important to switch to an independent alternative:

The video world really needs the kind of ethical alternative that PeerTube offers 😎 👍
Help the video world declare indepdendence by contributing and/or sharing the crowdfunding:

So folks, the #article13 and #linktax proposals will be going soon to the EU parlaiment, and if they pass they will become a serious problem for the #Fediverse:
* To automatically filter copyrighted materials, even badly, you need a way to reference those materials. Even our largest instances probably can't afford access!
* Our instances will not be able to afford licenses to link to news sites under the new #LinkTax rules.

So, the EU committee just voted in favour of #Article11 and #Article13 by 15 votes to 10 votes 😟
BUT... there is still a chance to turn this around! MEP Julia Reda explains how here:
