I believe in Fediverse Supremacy!
The masses will always be attracted to the opiates offered them by those seeking to control them for greedy purposes.

We should form our own propaganda. Not as a counterpoint, but as part of a wider fediverse identity.
But to successfully do this without being grouped together with one of the more mainstream platforms, it will have to be one so far removed from established axis' of alignments:
- Impossible to place on left vs right.
- Impossible to compared with authoritarianism vs democracy
- Cannot be tied to a specific geopolitical agenda
- cannot align with a specific country's interests
How about this: "Sasquatch did 9/11 to distract us from the fact that Big Farming puts nutrients in our food, and the Dutch lgbtq communities are the only one who can save us"

Dude. The Russian propaganda flows freely around here.
Dont worry, if you put propoganda of opposite polarity together they cancel eachother out. /s

You don't have to interact with .ml instances, you know?
If you think it's contained within one instance then you are the exact type of mark they are after.

We already have American censorship on the top ones, which will get worse once Project 2025 is enacted...
does Fediverse have a short form video content platform? cuz that's what people really care about these days
(also side note, we all really should avoid or limit short form video content consumption...)
I believe Pixelfed Loops is the only one currently, it's actually not half bad, apart from how barebones and stuttery the app is, which isn't a big deal since the issues are only occasional.
I don't understand it at all. I find it infuriating. I need long videos to play in the background while I work. I can't get anything done with this short crap. Maybe that's the point..
I mean, that's just two different purposes of two different formats.
Short form content is not made to be played in the background while you work, nor is it made for intricate and detailed analysis or essays. It's made to have something occupy your mind during short breaks like toilet or smoke break or while waiting for the bus or something.
Long and short form content don't compete but compliment with each other. If you don't like one or the other, that's totally fine, then you're just not part of the target audience.
Short-form videos, like many things in modern society (e.g. many video games) are essentially just a Skinner Box. You scroll, watch the video, get a hit of pleasure, and then the video automatically replays. That cues you to scroll. Repeat. It's easy to get stuck in that loop, especially if you already are struggling with executive dysfunction and can't find motivation/pleasure in ordinary activities.
