I do agree that it’s bullshit to pressure actors into signing away their likeness and knew this was a main feature, but SAG is joining the wave that WAG started and I don’t support increasing their residuals. WAG and SAG are basically the cool kids club of landed gentry. I believe people should be able to form unions to pursue self interests, but that doesn’t mean I blindly support every union strike.

Regarding union strikes, I personally don’t get why sanitation workers don’t strike to get a lot more money, they certainly deserve it.

Personally I think actors and writers are overpaid, but I support their right to strike. I also support the studios avoiding the strike by avoiding all SAG actors and other guilds because like I don’t think they’re that much better than non-union members

This was an exploit in lemmy software and affected multiple instances though

What if the web of trust is calculated with upvotes and downvotes? We already trust server admins to store those.

Small instances are cheap, so we need a way to prevent 100 bot instances running on the same server from gaming this too

When you put it that way, fediverse is probably better for official companies. I suppose that’s what bluesky was doing with their protocol too

and then when your main instance shuts down you can’t log into any again. So what’s the benefit asides from bypassing defederation? (And this wouldn’t even be a benefit, because instances defederate because they don’t like the users, so if you let people log in with oauth from a hated instance then you’d also get defederated

Oh I remember that!

MrBeast explained in a podcast that the subscription is so only other youtubers bother to see it, he doesn’t want to bore casual followes with the stats he posts.

that’s not a puppy, he’s too big
