 @fc3ee9ea @66087130 @b74ff7b8 I'm in the "seeing is believing" camp on federation. Like, is Threads federated yet? Is tumblr?

 @66087130 @b74ff7b8 @fc3ee9ea My main criticisms of Bluesky at the moments are 1. it's still centralized, 2. it's invite-only and 3. the content posted there isn't even public.

It is, factually, a centralized, corporate platform. Until that changes, I honestly don't get why people go there, after the Twitter Debacle. 
 It seems we aren't really in touch with where our food comes from these days. For example, restaurants routinely mislabel fish and we don't even know, because we never even saw a real one.

So me and some friends are gonna pick a restaurant and then really trace back one of their meals. From where they bought it, to the specific fishery that caught it, all the way back to its spawning grounds.

And we're gonna record what we find. Put it out in weekly episodes.

It'll be a great cod past. 
 A customer service agent begged me today not to penalise her in the feedback form, for not being able to help.

Recently, DPD responded to my “hire more drivers, so they don’t have to skip deliveries to make quota” complaint with “we are sending the responsible driver to training”.

I’m angry at how Capital isolates itself from responsibility by pitting workers against each other. If you could punch a shareholder instead of complaining to customer service, enshittification would stop overnight. 
 @210de87f @66087130 The irony of justifying the Starlink SNAFU in the Ukraine by saying you don't want to become party to a war and then turn around and defend genocide.
