No mention of a few corpos going for nuclear as a power source for said datacenters?

that it knows about.

TIL

Somehow i doubt this’ll affect anyone with “manager”, “head”, “chief” or “officer” in the name…

Could you link or explain where you got this information?

Common sense. The instance admin deletes the instance (or your posts) 'cos the coffee was bad this morning… there goes “your property”.
Obviously orders of magnitude better than commercial social media but it’s no silver bullet either.
There, 3 lines.

Too lazy to bother with proper research, but considering how big these companies are, asking your favorite LLM How many people work at Meta and Amazon combined? will yield about 1.5M people (+/- the usual yearly thousands of layofss/new hires).

Lack of search is my biggest gripe with Mastodon.

I follow hashtags, it’s how i discover interesting content for me. I only use the search function to follow specific accounts.

we are all owners of it ourselves.

Not unless you run your own instance you aren’t.

Surprised pikachu face.

Cloudflare, Netflix, Microsoft, OpenAI as speakers? Plus a bunch of politicians?

Maybe icinga?

True, although it may also be “good things” done by person do not outweigh “bad thing” done by person. I’m sure there’s a name for that.
Like human experimentation. Yes, bad, shouldn’t be done, outright illegal, immoral, inhumane, but has been done. Should we discard the scientific results?

Pixelfed is a federated image-sharing network.

Righteous censorship, got it.

I’ve looked into this but they aren’t exactly small

Neither is SO’s content.

It would depend on the software in use, but i think the instance admin could probably delete the account. About renaming… maybe, fiddling with the database. Again, depends on the software (and admin).

Because if you don’t care they get offended.

The irony is that these platforms never did bother to moderate. I’ll occasionally flag some comments that are very obvious hate speech and the response is always “we found nothing wrong”.

Heck i only upgraded my 10yo 'puter 'cos of mobo issues… that turned out to be a PEBKAC anyway (mostly). I don’t game though.

Nothing is ever free.

TANSTAAFL comrade!

Just about everything built in the last 15 years has already got the fix

You mean regular PCs? Sure…
Less COTS stuff? Not necessarily.
