The first step to fixing a problem is identifying it. If we know the threat is coming, all we need to do is not do that thing.

The only hopeful improvement is that his reign would be more unstable and maybe the oligarchs don't support him. Like always, that means that innocent Russian civilians will take the brunt of the actual consequences.
The only app that I've seen so far that claims it will (eventually) support Kbin is Artemis, which is not released at all yet.
Spez has directly praised Musk's moves at Twitter and cited them as inspiration.
Just curious, is there actually a rule that was violated or is that just a convenient excuse?
Seems really weird to give mods the power to make a sub private or marked as NSFW and then complain when said mods use those features.
It doesn't require users to enforce. Individual instances should probably start having caps and close signups/invites occasionally.
I think it's more that Amazon hasn't done anything to improve it since purchasing Goodreads years ago. Some minor design changes, but the algorithm for recommendations is arguably worse and there have not been any significant features added.
They are trying to find a new distributor for the second season, presumably the first would be packaged with that deal.
Instances could do what Beehaw does and defed one direction but still allow their content to be seen by other instances. I think Meta could decide to defed and block that, if they wanted to, however. (Beehaw doesn't seem to care if other instances see their content as long as they can control posts/comments on their end, which doesn't bother me at all since it doesn't effect me in any way. And I still get more content!)
But fracturing is not necessarily a death sentence. I don't necessarily want a billion users part of my echo chamber.
I assume the parent commenter referred to the EU because they seem to be the only governing body on the planet with enough influence and an actual desire to actually stand up to major corporations. The US sure ain't going to be doing it, and the list of other options is essentially zero, so that's the only hope we have in terms of legal protections or regulations.
It's not even that, just change your perspective so whatever Meta is doing or not doing is irrelevant. They can't "win" if we are on a different field playing the same sport with different players and our own equipment. Even if they have better equipment and 40,000 fans to our 1,500 that doesn't mean our thing isn't happening and meeting our needs.
