I sat through this when it came out. And I never regretted a single second of doing so.
Never heard anyone getting payed for donating anything in Germany. You can get an compensation for expenses, yes. But this is not supposed to be a payment for your donation, it is supposed to compensate for your expenses. For example: Finding a babysitter or paying for bus, train, gas. Sometimes you have to make a medical examination beforehand, which also can take some time.
The German Red Cross for example explicitly doesn’t pay the donors so nobody gets the wrong idea and tries to donate as much and often at the cost of their own health.
I think the idea that a compensation is equal to a payment is flawed beyond reason. If someone has a problem with any organisation misusing donations for profit, they should (rightfully) engage in changing the law. Categorically not donating at all is…well it’s just selfish and stupid.
How the turn tables!
I first read “fediverse coup” and got exited. My answer is a disappointed no.
Pretty personal stuff. But I will try and keep that part short. She got a diagnosis. Nothing world ending but nothing pleasant either. And the only thing she could think of was ice cream. Again, the details are nobody’s business. So I fast forward to the important part. She processed the whole stuff while I was still trying to hold a grasp. She is way stronger and more mature than I. Her positive attitude is not an act, it is her very being. I on the other hand flip my shit when I catch the flu.

Officially? A bunch of bullshit. Actually? Guy got more likes.
I got banned from r/gaming for shit talking pedos. I don’t want these people here.
Anything porn or erotic stuff. And those communities dedicated to anime girls. Furry stuff, too. But I honest to god can’t remember why. Might have been a reflex.
Edit: I just checked and I also have a lot of lemmygrad communities from back before the defederation. Aaaaaaand I blocked anything AI “art”. List looks like this:
I use Apple TV at home and had my Chromecast with me when travelling for a decade now. Brave little thing.
And yes, Fire TV sucks monkey balls. It either dies immediately or gets problems after a few weeks.
I actually liked time tracking. It’s when reality went out the window and my imagination took over.
I tried to recruit a friend of mine but the moment I tried to explain instances to him, he zoned out. I wouldn’t call it non-user friendly, but it’s not as simple and dumbed down like other social media is.
Also roughly a year ago there have been a couple of articles thrown around on Twitter and certain subreddits which wrote about CP stuff going on on Mastodon. So the Fediverse had some bad press. Which is rich coming from the site that allowed people like Violentacrez to fester.
I barely trust organics. Some CEO being rock hard about his newest repertoire of buzzword doesn’t help.
“Many girls were completely terrified and had tremendous anxiety attacks because they were suffering this in silence,” she told Reuters at the time. “They felt bad and were afraid to tell and be blamed for it.”
WTF?!

I am waiting for his fans go “BUT ITS ONLY THE PERSONAAAAAAA”.
Hold on! A SECOND whistleblower died?!
For example, there was a widespread conspiracy theory that Chris Rock was wearing some kind of face pad when he was slapped by Will Smith at the Academy Awards in 2022. The theory started because people started running screenshots of the slap through image upscalers, believing they could get a better look at what was happening.
Sometimes I think, our ancestors shouldn’t have made it out of the ocean.
Could you not make me feel miserable out of nowhere? I am a mostly decent person?
