I have been thinking about this for a while now, but I think it's time to actually pull the trigger. We need a database to document commercials/adverts etc.

Requirements:
- Easily record metadata in a standard format
- API available to query
- User contribution capabilities (well moderated)

Ideally I want to use something off the shelf. MediaWiki seems to check the boxes, but looking for something less complex to general users.

Et acheter une voiture neuve, faire tourner à fond le marché de l’automobile, c’est écolo, n’est-ce pas ? Si j'étais dictateur 😀 je nationaliserais (ou un truc dans le genre) la production automobile et ferait produire des modèles de véhicules costauds, avec base commune, facilement réparables, exemple: Mercedes 240D

Zohran Mamdani, the self-described "democratic socialist" and presumptive Democratic Party nominee to be mayor of New York City, has been supported by so-called "fact-checkers" and legacy media in denying that he is a Communist — but his oft-repeated past comments strongly contradict his denials. Mamdani is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), but he denies that he is a Communist.

On the Existence and Nature of God

In his piece, "Making a Monkey out of Darwin," Pat Buchanan presented a case for declaring "Darwinism" obsolete. Noted evolutionary psychologist, Kevin MacDonald, offered a retort, showing the reasoning buttressing Buchanan's claim to be defective. Others, like the team over at SpiritWaterBlood.com also weighed in on the matter. Great minds all, they never-the-less fall into the dual trap of conflating theology (the study or theory of God) with . . . stormfront.org/forum/blogs/u15…

A decade ago, Lucy Biggers was like many people in their 20s. She believed that climate change posed an immediate and catastrophic risk to mankind, that we should rapidly eliminate fossil fuels to address the problem, that renewables are up to that task, and that our wealthy, privileged lives in the West are a mark of shame.

Well, that's good. But people who feel shame by their work and success, and having the ability to create a good life are brainwashed. Every single country in the world had the opportunity to do what we did, but all we got were complaints, hate and jealousy. Leaders here and there wasted OUR money for illegal conquests to enrich themselves, and to keep the people destitute.

Fchan, the federated imageboard, is apparently still alive


one of the Fchannel0 forks is still getting updated, and has an instance running.

But it seems to be an isolated instance, as the federation appears to have been broken:

in reply to Vanilla_PuddinFudge

They broadly arent really very techy and absolutely hate the idea of anything new. So nah they broadly hate federation and adopting any new platforms.

Especially given that the fediverse already has a culture of being actively anti racism and hate they wouldnt be able to move here without getting instantly defederated and they know this. I'm sure the leftypol commies are already here.

in reply to Fizz

I think also the fediverse tends to lend itself to brainrot formats of social media: mastodon (Twitter), lemmy (Reddit), pixelfed (Instagram/tiktok), matrix (Discord). The fediverse is just trying to mimic the worst examples of the internet while 4chan is perfectly fine being its 2004 self

“How exactly has Britain supported Israel’s military assault on Gaza? The public has a right to know”

by Jeremy Corbyn in The Grauniad

“The British public deserves to know the full scale of the UK’s complicity in crimes against humanity. That is why I am tabling a private members’ bill tomorrow calling for a full, public, independent inquiry into the UK’s role in Israel’s military assault in Gaza”

"Anyone who does human rights work or investigative journalism understands that in many cases, privacy is the difference between life and death. We know throughout history that centralized power constitutes such power via information asymmetry. The more they know, the more stable and lasting their power is. This is the type of domination through knowledge that makes or breaks empires."

Ford Debuts World’s First Autonomous Car To Leave Factory And Drive Straight To Shop For Repairs

According to upper-level Ford executives, the fully self-driving car is the first of its kind to be able to make a direct bee-line from the assembly line to the nearest mechanic shop.

At publishing time, Ford had released a software update for the car which saved even more time by driving to the dump instead of a repair shop.
