not Fitness itself, but Fitness ‘influencers’

When someone replies to your comments, you get a notification. But clicking the notification takes you to the ‘mentions’ tab, instead of the ‘replies’ tab

a lot of the Fitness World is interconnected with the ring wing. Especially things like crossfit are pretty much only right wingers. MTG is also a big crossfit person

from left to right:

Standing:

• Jordan Peterson: Psychologist, Cries a lot about fictional authoritarianism, hates trans people, drug addict
• David Goggins: motivational speaker, right wing grifter
• Andrew Tate’s brother (… Dave Tate? or whatever the fuck. Who cares)

Table:

• Ben Shapiro: speaks fast and uses red herrings, so people think he’s smart
• Elon Musk: man-child billionaire who radicalized himself, because people refused to laugh at his stolen meme-retweets
• Andrew Tate: self-help guru, human trafficer
• Not sure who this guy is, but he did everything right and they indicted him
• Joe Rogan: Podcaster and conspiracy theorist who fell deep into the right wing echo chamber by surrounding himself with right wingers who tell him what he wants to hear (hates Trump as far as I’m aware. Not sure why he’d sit at a table with him)

And the person sitting in front is probably Lincoln

download the zip from the website (either via wget on your server, or download it onto your machine and upload it to your server). unzip it and replace the old foundryvtt folder (rename the old folder)

unironically this.

You think ‘oh it’s not that hard to just pick a sever’, but it is. Most people look at it and go 'well my favorite influencer or friend is on X, but I can only make an account on Y. Can I still communicate with them?! Which advantage has sever Y over server Z? etc. It’s it’s ONE barrier which is one barrier too much for many people (on top of all the new things they have to learn anyway when they decide to get on a new social network)

Most people don’t know the ins and outs of how these federated systems work, like you do - and it’s scary to them to be confronted with a question about system architecture, when all they want to do is read news or memes.

And it’s interesting that you mention email, because I’d argue email has the exact same problem. Depending on which country you live in, you’ll notice that most people use primarily one email provider per region/country. Why? because their friends use the same email provider. You know how many people told me “well, I don’t have email, but I can give you my Gmail if you want…?” Email just ‘took off’ because it had nothing to compete with for 20 years and businesses depended on it as well.
