I'm moving away from Spotify to something a bit more aligned with my values.

Considering Tidal, but I was also curious about any self-hosting option... If anyone has experience with either (or something else entirely), I'd love your opinion.

There's a catch to everything

This is so compelling!!

We surely can set the example for those who have yet to realize that we are in this together. Stay strong!!

I really appreciate you taking the time to read and leave your thoughts... thanks you!! 💯

I think usually it's when they go from being mantained by indipendent/small teams to big corporation (Instagram -> Meta, etc...)

Yeah, I agree that social platforms can truly connect us.. most were founded on that promise.
But there’s usually a tipping point where the drive for profit begins to outweigh the actual human value they could provide.

I think the great temptation of social media is the promise of connection, a constant sense of contact with other people.

Being able to see them at any moment and in any context creates a sense of closeness and presence.

I don’t get it. What are “claude number”?

my feed is full of people referring to them

To reiterate I agree with every point made, I just don’t know how it would be implemented in practice

I completely agree with Kubilius stance, but I fail to see how this plan could be implementend in short time…

It seems to me too many countries in the Eu fail to cooperate to the point suggested by Kubilius

It definitely works… it’s a bit difficult (at least for me) to track accurately everything everyday

Wait… why is running so popular now?

It just seems to me that I'm shouting in the void... but I gess that's just social media anywhere

Is it still possible to make frients on here without being already know/popular?

Bad time to be a silly little guy in a serious and terrible world
