I agree it gets complex for users. But pushing back a bit, wouldn’t we instead say:

We could tell new users "Sign up on Lemmy.com and if you decide you ~~don't like the UI~~ aren’t a pedophile just ~~choose an alternative and use the same credentials to sign in~~ make sure you start blocking."

I have in mind that the top blocked instances are pedo oriented. Also seems like it would create a liability issue for servers mirroring that content.

Although it’s not a perfect solution to choose a default instance for new users, I do think it’s a powerful question to eliminate.

I’d like to think it’s meta enough to be allowed.

If the comments stay silly I think it might slide.

Just checked something and it makes me wonder if they struck different deals than MSN:

View, say, a Business Insider article on MSN, and use the share button, and it will share the article hosted on Business Insider. Do the same on Yahoo and it shares the same Yahoo News URL that you were reading it on.

I’m sure he won’t mind. Worrying about that doesn’t sound like working.

I work from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed. I work seven days a week. When I'm not working, I'm thinking about working, and when I'm working, I'm working. I sit through movies, but I don't remember them because I'm thinking about work.

Well approx $250b less than that 😉

Was curious myself:

…Concord is not some small indie project, but one that took Firewalk reportedly 6-8 years to develop. The exact budget is unknown. Estimates are around the $100 million mark, but there’s no firm sourcing at that. Even half of that would be a $49 million loss, currently, with essentially no current room for improvement.

Screenshot of YouTube video (paused at 1:28) showing a young woman in pigtails, dressed in a yellow top with a wide neckline and blue jeans, sits cross-legged atop a cooler on a rooftop, with other rooftops visible in the distance. She wears a red pendant with a glowing white light at its center and is smiling at a young man opposite her. The man is wearing an open blue button-down shirt and green pants, gazing downwards with a slight smile.

A compilation of selected comments trashing the microphone-enabled pendant follows, reading:

amazing. at 1:28 you can see the guy decide there won't be any further dates

The creepy music is doing the exact opposite of what you want this ad to do. You want this to be a normal thing that isn't weird at all and your music says "black mirror".

The day you call a listening device "Friend" is the day you lose your humanity

Here comes the next MKBHD worst reviewed product 😂

so basically a bluetooth microphone that listens everything that you say, and that sends it to a chatGPT wrapper.

Don't need this if you're schizo already 🥰

To be fair, lots of us have wanted to wear a microphone that sends us lowercase text messages pretending to be our very human friend.

The image is a Venn diagram that compares the overlapping qualities between "Eligible to be President", "Would be a good President", and "Unusually vocal about love of Venn diagrams". The central overlapping area contains the text "Kamala Harris", while the eligibility and vocality areas contain the text “Me”.

Title text:

Hard to imagine political rhetoric more microtargeted at me than 'I love Venn diagrams. I really do, I love Venn diagrams. It's just something about those three circles.'
