that’s clever!

i get that and you are right that they do. I would guess that most users are us americans despite them not managing the instance. That’s where i am coming from when i say, that it doesn’t matter where the instance is hosted

doesn’t make much difference where your instance is hosted as long as it’s not north korea or something

not a cult

hear me out. The toxicity of social mefia comes from algorithms and advertising. Lots of short videos by the community can be fun/interesting and not addictive/ brain rotting.

endless feeds of short form video is the new asbestos

that’s like saying Mastodon is bad because Twitter ruined society, I mean how often do you find yourself raging endlessly at Mastodon.

I would love to have a chill way of scrolling these videos without having to live with one of the evils.

That being said i am also sceptical if this is it, I mean why do they want my email?

for now yes, but what I’m arguing is that they might not be in the long run

i get where you are coming from but right now i am more mad at mozilla xD

i think it’s better to jump ship now so that they get scared and stop the enshitification early before it s too late

android already has fennec and mull though

what does FUD stand for?

and let me guesa you only ever listen to the same 3 playlists you vould easily just download. that’s how it is for me at least

Non destructive editing? Object snapping? Font Outlines? i honestly didn’t know gimp couldn’t do thay :o these basic features all seem like they should ve been added 10 years ago

i don’t want lwmmy to take off, i like it rn

so jealous i might move there

the comparison with “water poisoning” isn’t valid since it’s not like you overdose and you die, instead it accumulates in your body and has life shortening effects. Your body normally digests things in a non poisonous dose and it leaves your body after a while, that’s what’s different.

As for the effects:

from https://www.epa.gov/pfas/our-current-understanding-human-health-and-environmental-risks-pfas : " Current peer-reviewed scientific studies have shown that exposure to certain levels of PFAS may lead to:

• Reproductive effects such as decreased fertility or increased high blood pressure in pregnant women.
• Developmental effects or delays in children, including low birth weight, accelerated puberty, bone variations, or behavioral changes.
• Increased risk of some cancers, including prostate, kidney, and testicular cancers.
• Reduced ability of the body’s immune system to fight infections, including reduced vaccine response.
• Interference with the body’s natural hormones.
• Increased cholesterol levels and/or risk of obesity. " The list is only gonna grow imo
