I wonder how many manufacturers can currently manage that.
However, the upside is that there are no bots, dark patterns, or manipulated feeds.
There’s a huge amount of incoming spam, much of it, I suspect posted by bots. I’ve also seen account posting ‘news’ from sites that are clearly AI generated
To be honest, it feels much more likely to see posts on the Fediverse with many upvotes, few or no comments
So, if I gave you some volunteering contacts as links, would you commit to starting next month for me? Or would it take a threat of fines/court action?
Would you be up for being compelled to give up a day a month to do good works? Not volunteering, mind, compelled.

I’d say that the railways were probably more likely to fail because you have the added complication of the rail infrastructure company on top, plus the need for through-ticketing and timetable coordination. Those factors magnified the sheer amount of shit in the show

Could you give som examples of where it’s desirable ?
Nice tip. Thank you. I was similarly confused
Absolutely. Unless they’re actually evil. Which I’m sure they aren’t. But they could be.
You should definitely spend time trawling through Oxfam shops for books, if this annoys you.
It’s not at all weird and very easy to explain. The BBC positions itself as an impartial reporter. Anything that appears to be a judgement call by someone else is (quite rightly) put into quotes.
