+1 for Lain. It's my favorite type of cyberpunk, not an abstract distant future, but low life, high tech right here, right now.

The main reason is that although the concessions we make may seem ever so insignificant, they pile up and dettach you from what you were looking for in the first place. You barely see your acquaintances posts on instagram or facebook anymore. Twitter is on it's way to become a cesspool. Every new Reddit "feature" just makes the experience worse. It won't be long for those platforms to all converge into a big mind grinder for propaganda.
In fediverse there is no valuation seeking to ruin things, and there won't be for the foreseeable future, so it's good ground to build upon, it's just good sense.
Take the content problem for example. You can think of that as an opportunity to be the content you want to see.
I think the point we need to get from this is: they get to keep their ad machine and pretty numbers, but we get an influx of like-minded people to the alternative social media. To me that's a win win situation.
Next time the wave will be bigger, and so on.
Yup, unfortunately most of the books I wanted to share weren't available on the libraries it searches for, so I'm building it up little by little. :)
Only moderators from my account’s server can take action against me? This seems… potentially problematic, unless the moderators from federated instances are all in communication with one another? E.g. if I’m a problem on one instance but not my home instance, is there nothing the moderators on the non-home instance can do?
They can stop you from accessing their instance, afaik.
Did not know about this! Thanks very much, already added myself, and started a list already! :P https://bookwyrm.social/list/1739/s/ficcao-cientifica-brasileira
Não seja tão negativa, pessoa! Vamos deixar o reddit para os destruidores e arruaceiros! :P
I rather like this trend of conservatives and their like piling up the mainstream social media, leaving the decentralization and smaller medias to those with more progressive thinking.
It feels like things are upside down when I see it happen the other way around.
I feel like Neuromancer is one if those books that just doesn't work on movie, but would still like to see the train wreck.
Babylon AD is my go to for this question. It's a silly action flick, but the world was well presented.
Another googd one imo is Repo Men.
I feel the generation gap for the first time when I see people complaining about the difficulty of selecting a server to sign up and connect to!
Other than that, it does bring a lot of the atmosphere of the wild west times of the web, in a good way. I'm liking it!
Hopefully we retain a healthy amount of users after this wave passes and everyone is back at reddit. :)
