I’m glad to hear

@dessalines@lemmy.ml please consider this.

According to fedidb.org, Lemmy has plateaued at around 43k active users over the past year.

If you ask me, though, it doesn’t matter. The Lemmy ecosystem is active and healthy.

The TikTok ban is something Mark Zuckerberg lobbied for. It’s not a good thing.

Since when is Bluesky rightist?

As a matter of fact, Bluesky originally was supposed to become Twitter’s back end, but it was spun off when Elon took over. Jack Dorsey left and is now promoting nostr and X.

Bluesky is way more approachable than Mastodon. Most people don’t want to have to learn what an instance is.

I just saw an article about Google adding pop-ups during navigation to Google Maps.

I’m heavily interested in Bluesky, so I started !bluesky@lemmy.ml. However, Lemmy is overall pretty hostile towards Bluesky, and I’m not willing to go back to Reddit for active discussion about it.

Car-dependent suburban sprawl

It is not well known but there have been numerous scandals which put this trust into question. For example in 2012, a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation UK used his position to place his PR client on Wikipedia’s front page 17 times within a month. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales made extensive edits to the article about himself, removing mentions of co-founder Larry Sanger. In 2007, a prolific editor who claimed to be a graduate professor and was recruited by Wikipedia staff to the Arbitration Committee was revealed to be a 24-year-old college dropout. These are only a few examples, journalist Helen Buyniski has collected much more information about the the rot in Wikipedia.

I don’t really understand how decentralization would address the trust and legitimacy problems of Wikipedia. I do see value in adding community wikis to Lemmy, however.

I don’t mind tankies that much.
