  • I agree with the user above, over here facebook is so entrenched not just thanks to the location-based groups and tagging but through the marketplace too. People rely on it to sell their old stuff. Of course the main hurdle as usual is making people care enough to use a different thing, even though the current solution works well enough for their use case. I could see it happening if towns adopted it officially and there was a bit of communication about it. Does your program federate with other instances ? like, if I want to sell my old table, will people in nearby towns that are hosting their own instance see my post ?

    In any case great initiative


















  • The other day we were at my SIL’s and all the nephews and nieces were unsupervised watching AI slop on youtube (they seldom are, but it was one of those mornings) then one of them changes channel and it’s MrBeast, auto-dubbed by youtube… doing a show where he locks up a guy in a fake store and… the premise made no sense at all, the show was essentially a typical dumb TV game/show from 20 years ago : gratuitous premise, vacuous talk and lots of money involved (the guy made like 100 grand from putting items in carts and living inside the fake store for a month). And once in a while the MrBeast itself appeared and gave the camera this creepy smile, saying “I gotta go now, I have a shoot planned in Africa!” I rolled my eyes. “In Africa”. It could be anywhere… That guy is ignorant to top it off
