It comes down to two fundamental conceptions of what the Fediverse should be.
One is a single account, all access, everything does anything any other thing does, kind of vision.
The other is a, we do our thing, you do yours, we can do together where appropriate, kind of vision.
I fall into the later. I have no problem with multiple accounts for different kinds of content and entertainment. You may fall closer to the former.
Oooh…
That was unclear. It sounded like you were talking about posting.
Why put the summary in the comments instead of the post text?
Pinterest is their own publicly traded company.
They aren’t owned by Meta.
I found Pinry and Pinetta. Though they seem to be kinda defunct without much recent activity.
Pixelfed allows you to make collections of posts, kinda like Pinterest.
That’s all I found with a simple search.
Is Discord social media? Social sure, but not media really.
It always seemed to be more a live communication/chat app to me.
He’s a special case. He’s been a Trekie since he was young. He’s wanted to be a Klingon forever. He might be doing this for scale rate. And I’d be surprised if he’s on more than a season. If he is, it’ll only be a few episodes each.
Sure she’s an Oscar winner. But that was a long time ago. And Oscars are never a guarantee of future work or pay rate.
For nearly a decade now she’s only done a few guest spots on series, some supporting roles in small movies, a few voice roles. This show is the biggest thing she done in quite a while.
While Paramount+ may be a 3rd tier streaming service, this is Start Trek, and it’s got a real budget behind it.
A new Star Trek (2027) that just continues from SNW would be great!
Reboot’s are overly maligned. And continuity is a nievely harmful fantasy. You realise TOS got up to warp 14 or something right? It could do with a new version.
P. S. I’m being serous. I’m not playing your childish reverse psychology nonsense game.
Couldn’t each one decide how much to charge and pay for their tokens? Like a swarm of countless centralized currencies, rather than a single decentralized one?
Then you have a central org you need to trust with the money. It’s not really distributed or federated system anymore.
Whatever the term, if the coins can be exchanged back into a real currency or goods, they have real value, and as such they’re as good cash.
Pachinko balls won from games cannot be exchanged directly for money in the parlor, nor can they be removed from the premises or exchanged with other parlors. However, they can be legally traded to the parlor for so-called “special prize” tokens (tokushu keihin (特殊景品) [ja]), which can in turn be “sold” for cash to a separate vendor off-premises.
That’s still not going to work without either a blockchain or central trusted management org of some kind.
So if they have real cash value, how do you secure a distributed currency system without a blockchain? How do you stop the creation of fraudulent tokins?
I’m not sure what problem this is trying to solve exactly.
Why not just a simple subscription to your home instance/server?
What would people get from trading these tokins, can they cash them out?
If not blockchain how do you guarantee or secure these tokins being traded across instance/servers?
Sewing machines don’t make stiches the way people do. People tried for decades and failed to build machines that sewed like humans. They work by making their stiches in ways humans never would, or could realy. They had to invent a whole new way get the job done, not remotely the way a person would do it.
AI will very likely be the same. Expecting machine minds to do things the same way a human mind would, to mimic human thought, strikes me as some kind of human centric bias.
Complexity isn’t relevant to my analogy.
The lessons learned from the failures and eventual success of machine sewing are.
Unless you’re being sarcastic.
Sewing really is surprisingly complex.
That’s like saying there’s no way a machine can replicate hand sewing.

It’s all about willful ignorance. If people complain about a lack of public chargers, they don’t know what they’re talking about. Public charging only matters on long road trips. For the other 350 days a year, you’ll charge at home.
If you live in an apartment, parking in a standard lot, with no way to run power out to your car? I get it. You need to look for another apartment first. It at least you know how actually owning an electric car works.
I’m frequently of when Albuquerque tried to switch to electric busses several years ago now.
The city ordered a bunch from BYD. The first testing units failed miserably. They wouldn’t last a whole shift, doors wouldn’t open, or open when they shouldn’t (while moving), there were a number of problems. After a month or so of testing and trying to work with BYD, they gave up on the order and went with some kind of ethanol busses instead.
That was a bunch of years ago now. I wonder if they’re any better.
Not a professional anything climate. Just grew up along the Hudson.
It isn’t like most rivers you might think of. It’s very deep and slow moving. The salty ocean water goes quite a ways inland. Even as far north as Poughkeepsie where I lived, I don’t ever remember it freezing across.
