PSA: Back up your stuff, now. And ensure that the backups work. If you don't know if your backups work, you may as well not have them.

@mekkaokereke I see. I didn't know about that one. That changes things. But her saying "What if humans just loved each other?" makes me kinda think she doesn't really know anything about the world. Like incredible levels of sheltering.

Is she lying? Maybe, probably. But I think that we can't deny she's really dumb.

I was very ignorant of the world a long time ago, even though I have had internet for years for some reason I avoided places that could teach me more about the world. This was before algorithmic content, so I don't know how it changes the equation in her case. I think that for someone that has experienced racism it may difficult to imagine how someone can not understand the concept of racism beyond the most superficial definition without being racist themselves. I believe it can be possible in this case, but who knows, rich people tend to be dishonest, so I'm more inclined towards your explanation now.

@mekkaokereke I'm inclined to believe it because I think she is *THAT* naive. I still remember her tiktok about communism, displaying her ignorance and naiveté.

@thomasfuchs VR is not like anything else. Corporate hacks tried to hype their shit vision of VR, with stuff that does work better with screens, but there are truly unique experiences in VR, that makes it worth it. Despite of corporations trying to take advantage of it, and not because of it.

I don't want work meetings in VR, I want to be an animal person with friends, and that's not easy to monetize. And I hope it remains that way. So people pay artists directly when they want a custom avatar for example. I also play games but it's usually much more intense and tiring, so it's kind of an entertainment category of its own.

@TheGoodSpace I would add anarch.cc, a private mastodon server hosting... you guessed it: trans women. Posting about anarchism and philosophy among other things.

Also a bunch of furry servers like blimps.xyz accused of federating with other servers (none of which did anything wrong either, as far as I know). And as we know most furries are queer.

I'm all for defending from harassment, racism and bigotry, but I'd like queer people to still have a community they can communicate with...

@kris @atomicpoet @socialmedianews Technically, yeah, but it's a tiny shadow of its former self. I was a fervient defender of XMPP and I had no use for it when 90% of my friends stopped using it and almost everyone were elsewhere already. And before that, the ecosystem was held back by Google, who refused to implement key features.

@atomicpoet @socialmedianews We should never forget how Google Talk killed Jabber/XMPP.
