They should have asked the candidate about the crying baby. Maybe it was not theirs? Maybe he was so stressed he blocked it out?

Instead of being human and humane, the company interviewer acted like a robot, trying to find a catch not to hire the guy. Note: the interviewer also had to ignore the crying baby and not acknowledge it on the call! What if the baby was in danger?

Revolting. Corporate drone brain-worms.

I don't think it is anymore.

Meanwhile, Threadiverse is on the verge of reaching 100k active monthly accounts.

Of course, the numbers are incomparable. But this whole thing made Threadiverse into a viable space for a lot of people. Reddit app developers are starting to develop apps for Lemmy/Kbin. Dozens of new instances got set up. The whole space is bigger, more resilient, and leaps and bounds more vibrant than it was in May and before (I've been here for years).

A lot of people will come back to Reddit. But a lot of people will also remain here. And this space will be there the next time Reddit craps the bed, better prepared to take the influx.

The vast majority of the instances in that screenshot have known jumps from 1~50 users to tens of thousands in less than a day. T

I think that's taking it too far and jumping to conclusions. I cannot think of a single instance of an instance admin inflating their numbers with bot accounts or in any other artificial way, and I've been on fedi before it was called fedi.

This is almost certainly external bad actors taking advantage of captcha-less open signups.

If only there was some kind of a protocol, widely supported, that would allow publishers to push content to their readers directly. Readers could "subscribe" to (say) "channels", which would get populated with items published by publishers.

It could be a really simple method of sindication! I even saw a nice icon that I think would work well for it:

Thanks.

This is bullshit.

Nobody is claiming that fedi admins are being "paid off" by Meta. The toot you post to also does not make such a claim.

The problem with AI is the problem with capitalism.

Hiper-capitalists like Andreessen Horowitz, who had been pushing cryptocurrencies for a long while and still seems to be doing so, have vested interests in generating the AI-hype.
