Masterful gambit sir
It is not well known but there have been numerous scandals which put this trust into question. For example in 2012, a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation UK used his position to place his PR client on Wikipedia’s front page 17 times within a month. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales made extensive edits to the article about himself, removing mentions of co-founder Larry Sanger. In 2007, a prolific editor who claimed to be a graduate professor and was recruited by Wikipedia staff to the Arbitration Committee was revealed to be a 24-year-old college dropout. These are only a few examples, journalist Helen Buyniski has collected much more information about the the rot in Wikipedia.
I don’t really understand how decentralization would address the trust and legitimacy problems of Wikipedia. I do see value in adding community wikis to Lemmy, however.
The hyperbole isn’t what I care about.
Going up to people who are publicly considering withholding their vote over Biden’s handling of the situation in Gaza, calling them irrational, and demanding they do something they believe is against their morals is “asshole behavior.” It’s almost like you’re saying “the issue you care enough about that your willing to risk a second Trump term doesn’t matter to me.” This behavior is often referred to as “vote-scolding.”
I will probably still vote for Biden, but I understand why other won’t, and I don’t think he should be evaluated only in comparison to Trump.
Bluesky is uniquely un-private. For instance, you can see who blocks who.
It always bugged me when the CEO referred to Bluesky as part of the fediverse because that’s only technically true with projects like Bridgy Fed.
I don’t know why you didn’t say that the first place. Before, you sounded like a deranged asshole.
You implicitly said you would still vote for Biden if he “grabbed a gun and started murdering Palestinians in the streets.” I’d consider that to be giving Biden a free pass because although I’ll vote for Biden, I wouldn’t if he started literally murdering people with his own hands, and I don’t think you would either.

I, for one, don’t think we should give our elected officials a free pass just because the other guy would be worse.
Meanwhile, the average elected Democrat’s position:
Maybe. Meta and Automattic (WordPress.com and Tumblr) are betting on ActivityPub over ATProtocol.
That project is called Bridgy Fed.
It’s supposed to happen relatively soon I think https://bsky.social/about/blog/11-15-2023-toward-federation
idk. After they dropped invite codes, they started requiring phone numbers for sign up.

Because there are a lot of dishonest people who claim they’re only criticizing Hamas, when they are actually calling for violence against all Palestinians.
“Harbu Darbu” is a perfect example of that.
