Apparently the official app has a few dependencies that themselves depend on Google Play services, hence being blocked for F-droid inclusion.

I was talking about Podman Pods. Sorry for not being clear.

Yeah, inside of Pods you can just use the container name and thus avoid hard-coding any IPs.

Oh, yeah. I am happy my effort to convince them worked out.

I has stronger Tower Defense elements, but it seems to be a lot of fun especially also in multiplayer.

Not sure why you would need a seperate platform for such kind of videos though. You can use Mastodon etc. perfectly fine for this kind of stuff.

But I think that is not why the majority use TikTok. Tiktok is more like those TV channels that show an endless number of funny bloopers and cooking shows, and those need semi-professional makers and curators that want to be paid for their work.

I am not a Tiktok user, but everytime someone shares a video with me it is clearly made by someone that did it because they want to build a following and monetize their channel. I mean, why else spend a lot of effort to make such short form videos?

On TikTok? I doubt that. Do you have any examples?

Most of the content on TikTok is created by people because they want to earn money with it. But most of it isn’t content which would make it possible to build up a supporter base through Patreon, OnlyFans etc. So where is the money going to come from to attract such content creators to a potential Fediverse TikTok alternative?

It’s a long thoughtful article about how large corporate social networks are structurally incapable of serving the needs of their users and even well meant attempts to reform them are going to fail because of these structural deficiencies.

They can go somewhere else and talk to each other there.

Censorship means that some higher authority wants some information not to be seen by certain people. The target of censorship is therefore the readers/listeners and not primarily the person writing/speaking. Hence if the readers/listeners don’t actually want to read/hear the hateful drivel that some person shouts into the void, removing it isn’t censorship but content curation.

You can sign up on a Lemmy instance that runs the full image proxy.

Friendica is federating with Mastodon etc. and also Lemmy etc.

Last time I talked to the main Friendica developer they were looking for a frontend dev because their expertise is only backend stuff. I am sure they would be happy to have someone help out.

Indeed. And there are many other distict groups that are Jewish, such as those from Ethiopia and Marroco, that claim some historical relationship to Israel but are otherwise genetically and ethnically entirely different. The only real commonality is their religion and some closely related cultural practises.

And what “ethnicity” is that supposed to be? “White” Jews are for the most part ethnically and largely also genetically indistingishable from central Europeans.

US Americans have a strange obsession with “race”, and Zionists played right into that by establishing the false idea that Jewishness is a race or ethnicity.

In Europe this is a very uncommon view by the way, and most people consider Jewishness a purely religious description and the last people that tried to make it an ethnic description were literal Nazis.

So Ethiopian Jews don’t exist? It clearly refers to a religion, just like Christian does.

The rest is Zionist propaganda.
