Yeah, same principle as pinhole glasses, but these look way better.

Bro nobody in the history of mankind ever thought too hard.
And/or US gov and their allies. Centralization makes surveillance and manipulation easy.
I don’t think it’s spez. Transparent and decentralized social networks go against the interests of many people.
So much for the luck of the Irish, right.
Where I live it’s much more complete than google maps, especially in the countryside.
I don’t see a scenario where google or the likes would be allowed to fail. So moot point.
Hypothetically it would open a window for open source services to sneak in.
Middle term? The phasing out of personal computers, and moving toward a system of servers/terminals where noone owns software.
You’ll rent computing power or storage space, you’ll only pay for the interface.
I’m still angry about it.
I use it from time to time. The tech is getting better.
But it’s very hard to find anything interesting on it.
They REALLY need to focus on implementing content filter and discovery tools.
Right now it’s a lot noise and reposted videos. The search function doesn’t work at all.
I think the platform could be viable with a decent, verbatim search function; a tag-based browsing system, and the ability to visualize the federated instances and browse any of them as local.
It’s still possible to find interesting videos by browsing an instance focused on a specific interested as local.
I think it’s a survival reflex. People pick up on popular trends, and follow them so they don’t get lynched. It’s hard to unlearn this kind of conditioning, even if you move to a relatively safe environment.
Or a side effect of censorship. ,
edit: or if you want to be just a little bit paranoid, like i am, they’re making the official chatbots sound less natural, so they can continue to use AI mascarading as humans to influence people and parasite social media.
