winnie the based

“wifi”

shrug

firefox and google chrome nowadays use very similar amounts of resources. However, firefox is (for now) less cringe than google chrome.

Meh, they just end up making it a series of posts / videos. If someone’s risking their life by doing shit like going into an active warzone and using social media to keep the public informed of what’s going on, doesn’t that probably count as “real” journalism, regardless of what online platform they upload to?

fair enough. that’s pretty dope ngl

hmm, that’s a fair point. I have heard things about independent journalists making use of platforms like Twitter and Tiktok. I wonder if independent journalists have begun to adopt Mastodon as well, or just decentralized social networks in general, to share their news.

No, the correct answer is “fuck both of them”. You don’t need Twitter, you definitely don’t need Threads.

You don’t even need Mastodon for that matter. You don’t need a constant drip feed of dopamine. If you need to stay informed, you can just use news sites or something.

oh wow, fucking lol

wait, isn’t that for their shitty VR headset?

Unfortunately, Threads is run by a very, very shitty corporation that sees you, me, and the rest of the fediverse as a new market to expand into (i.e. fresh meat). I wouldn’t blame people from defederating with them — their incentives will clearly push them to violate many instances’ rules against advertising.
