This feels like clickbait - I find it hard to believe the writers of this piece are unaware of the protests. The better question, perhaps, is "why does media refuse to cover the protests", and the answer to that is obvious - the media (damn near all of it) is controlled by the very oliarchs we're protesting.
Considering it's shipped by default on the fedi, on ghost, discourse, bsky and loads of other very hot upcoming and established tools, it's very much alive. Just because xitter and facebook and google failed to find a way to monetize it and therefore tried to kill it doesn't make it dead.
I'm a huge fan of RSS, it's how I get 90% of my media now.
I believe my first impressions of bsky when it finally opened was "oh, it's like twitter from 2006. but why?"
I know so many people flocking to it, and I'm just not getting it.
Can't think of any times when "undesireables" have been sent to prisons/gulags in other countries. Nope. Nothing springs to mind...
A little disappointed that the 'solution' requires so much heavy processing that it basically becomes almost as bad as the 'problem', but I guess that's par for the course these days.
I think even UK common law has something to say about that, some kind of Magna Carta? We regressed right back to pre-constitutional monarchy, do not pass go.
Dude literally pointed to his friends who made a killing on it, and posted "buy" info on his socials before reversing.
If we had any kind of system of laws, that'd be jail time.
Anyone else feel like their head is spinning from all the craziness right now? It's a bit much tbh.
The pink panther theme still sits as my favorite, from childhood on.
I believe it uses a combo of bing and google with anonymizers, yes. I've just started poking around there due to waterfox mobile using it by default.
I was told something like this about an article I was pointing out wasn't on page 1 of google, but was on virtually all other engines. "Unless it's page 1 of google nobody cares"
And all I can say is "who cares? those aren't the people it's for"
