You're absolutely right that most of the things being discussed in the mastodon space are already built. Search and quote posts are both controversial, but also both old news on a number of fediverse platforms.
You guys ever have it where you know full well you're home and you get one of those delivery tags on your door: "Sorry, we tried to deliver the package but you just weren't home!"

I mean... They can't. They're breaking the law when they do.
And the Internet is getting more buttoned down by the day. It's going to come that day where you have to follow copyright laws, and then it's all over.

Disney is a particularly good example of the benefits of a robust public domain: They made much of their fortune on derivative works of public domain works.
Disney didn't create Snow white, Pinocchio, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, The story Sleeping Beauty was based on, the little mermaid, Alladin's wonderful lamp, the hunchback of notre dame, or Hercules. They took works that were in the public domain and created new works based on those stories that were massively popular in their own right.
One of the reasons the Internet is so vibrant and creative compared to the establishment media is that it isn't really following the rules, so it takes content and remixes it or reimagines it and comes up with all kinds of completely new stuff. There's entire communities and subcommunities and sub-subcommunities doing that sort of thing, and if copyright were being properly applied then it would all immediately disappear.
Meanwhile, the establishment wallows in the one hundredth remake of Superman's origin story! We've got the copyright until 2033, might as well make the most of it!
(Turns out it wasn't life + 50 years, it was life + 70 years for works created after 1978 since changes to the copyright act made in 1998 which expanded the term from life + 50 years)

Maybe we should nudge vpzom? It'd be nice if we could get friendica groups working and incorporating better with the broader fediverse. (Also, I should try peertube channels. Being able to subscribe via lotide like a community would be a game changer!)
It federates pretty well, but definitely lacks in some important ways.
I was able to follow a friendica group which was neat, but I haven't gotten anything from that list yet. I suspect that unless they put a subject in the header it ignores the posts.

I like lotide, but the whole space is pretty limited. I think lemmy did a good job of scaring the sort of people who might want to participate away and lotide doesn't do a great job of telling about itself despite being a great and very lightweight platform.
Great to see there's literally nothing else going on in the world.
Man, we should probably just disband congress since there's nothing going on worth paying any attention to but this!

That's embarrassing. Only send a dick pic to your entire class if you're ready to smugly grin at the rest of the class about it.
I don't feel like this video really shows anything particularly exciting... I could build a robot to play with playdough too...
