@kingmongoose7877 Perfect! Thanks for letting me know.

@kingmongoose7877 I'll do a lil bit of testing from narwhal.city today, it runs #Lotide which I've found to be fairly stable for the most part. Please tell me if the issue pops back up when I post from there again

@kingmongoose7877 @Blaze @realcaseyrollins@kbin.projectsegfau.lt @realcaseyrollins@narwhal.city @realcaseyrollins@lemmy.ml @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world @arya Whoa I had no idea this was an issue, thanks for letting me know! I'll refrain from posting in the community until this issue is resolved, please let me know once it's fixed.

@LA71 That's a bit of a joke on the French, they're good at being freaky and weird

@LA71 @BrikoX If #Pornhub got banned from #France, the citizens would just leave

@JoYo @ModdedPhones Pretty much all evidence points to the contrary

@dingus Interesting, I could see why foreigners donating could inflate the popularity of the cause. But do people in the #USA really care that much? Most English language coverage of the event has been both poor and scant, especially here in the #USA. I had to translate French language news outlets to figure out what actually happened

@BrikoX

> A controversial fundraising campaign to help the family of the policeman who killed teenager Nahel M. in France has topped €1 million.

If it's so controversial, how did it top €1 million?

"Controversial" means "we disapprove" in #MSM-speak.

@flip @BrikoX More people would have likely died if he wasn't stopped. It's too bad that he got killed tho.

@Hexorg There are so many reasons why #Meta users haven't left yet, one of them probably being that they don't know about alternatives like the #Fediverse, and another being that they may not know that the alternatives are actually viable

@Hexorg I agree, to a degree. Generally I support federation without cooperation, if that makes sense. The sole purpose of federating with #Meta should be to get people to leave #Meta.

@Hexorg Hmm IDK. I disagree on moderation, I don't think any #Fediverse admin would trust #Meta enough to use their software for moderation.

The only case I could see for something similar happening is if #Meta forked existing software, added features people wanted, and then closed the source; but admins won't take kindly to that either.

Now, maybe if people start moving away from #Meta's #Project92 / #Barcelona / #Threads, then those reports will start to pile up, but that's a net negative for #FaceBook in terms of userbase, not a net positive.

If I was #Meta, I wouldn't be making server software, I'd be making a custom client with embedded ads to monetize the content from other folks' content. Which could actually lead to an "embrace, extend, extinguish" situation, much more likely than what #Meta is doing right now.
