It’s legit applicable for people that have Twitter just for realtime earthquake warning.

At least its applicable for Indonesian users.

If people of your country is more likely to use Twitter, moving to Bluesky is not even realistic.

Also, for a lot of countries, moving to Bluesky is like moving from American controlled platform to the same American controlled platform.

1. Non-Westerner that never have or realized alternative platform exist.
2. Artist that dependant on mainstream social media reach. (some artists already have 100K+ followers there, fedi also have limited reach due to instance blocking, e.g. you’re on Mastodon.art and want to reach Japanese audience (mainly misskey.io, but t was defederated on most of Western instance.)
3. People with social network bubble outside Westernsphere, they only have exclusively local feed on their Twitter.
4. People outside Westernsphere that already tried fediverse, but moving back as fediverse is still Western-centric or does not have their own community on feidverse.
5. Community that does not have monetary power to invest on their own fedi instance.

LibreOffice is good as a standalone software, if you’re not looking for MS Office compability. I use LibreOffice, and my sister suddenly ask me to help edit their MS Office document. It was nightmare. There are a lot of hidden gotchas that rarely reported. It’s absolutely not recommended to constantly changing software if you’re editing your document.

Also, at the moment, Excel has more advance feature than LibreOffice Calc.

The original image seems related to Westernsphere social media huh

Facebook in my region (Southeast Asia) is still filled with Gen Z, wirh various niche groups that often have more than 100K members. From anime meme to satirical anti-corruption group. Or fried chicken seller group and book barter for your small city.

I was active moderating on one local music group band on FB with 250K members.

I hope I can change Facebook for fediverse, but there’s still no Facebook group alternative and actual active community on fediverse to make it happen.

Unfortunately, not everyone even aware of Musk stuff.

I’m Indonesian, and a lot of Indonesian people are using Twitter without even knowing what’s going on with Twitter except for name change.

I usually recommend my friend to join local Misskey or Mastodon instance instead. But its harder when fediverse trending stuff is filled mainly with Western stuff. All existing instance are tends to whether ACG stuff or tech stuff with occasional local/global politics discussion.

It’s a chicken and egg situation.

Not to forget, all Mastodon Indonesia instance are dead around a year after huge Indonesian migration from Twitter. It gives impression that fediverse is not a viable alternative.

I still have three different Twitter account, and all of them have entirely different feed mainly either Japanese ACG stuff, Indonesian local discussion, or to interact with private friends account. Almost all my friends still using Twitter for talking about Indonesian musics, politics, or other pop cultures that unrelated/disconneted from Western fandom.

Any social media is filled with various cultural/societal bubbles. Even fediverse itself is filled with cultural bubbles, mainly Western-sphere, JP-sphere, geek-sphere, or CN-sphere.

Not every current Twitter users are aware of Elon stuff, huge chunk of them are even never heard who is Elon Musk.

Not everyone are aware of American politics. America is not the center of the world.

The race of a voice actor doesn’t matter

My country has 300 ethnics groups, so they tend to match character ethnic to its voice actor. But if it’s not, no one gets angry. People is simply happy when various culture is celerated.

Though, when it comes to international movie/series/games, it truly does not matter as there’s no way to 100% match voice actor race or ethnic groups. Sometimes, people that outside the groups actually do a better match for a specific character.

Genshin Impact is literally spawning so many “open world anime gacha games” trend from so many companies across the world due to its success. It’s one of the top grossing games on mobile games (note: huge chunk of top grossing games (PC and mobile) these days never gets release or popular in the West)

Some anime-style game franchise that always a single player for more than a decade suddenly releasing “open world anime gacha games” that dead in less than 2 years.

I wouldn’t say its their fault tho.

Professional will use software that suitable for their workflow. I’ve seen professionals changing their main software if there was better alternative.

For example, there are wave of professional that are moving from Adobe to Affinity. Illustrator and comic artist are moving from Photoshop to Clip Studio Paint or Procreate. Some video editor will instantly change their software to Davinci Resolve.

Most of the time, they can’t change their software because their client requires file compability, such as Photoshop-native PSD. Sure, other software can open/edit PSD, but they might not fully support all PSD format specification.

That’s why people on open source community focused on open format and open workflow instead. Inkscape use SVG. Krita use ORA. And so on.

Report it the the dev.

Main GIMP developers are actually nice and responsive. They are also willing to hear more feedback from everyone.

Except a lot of casual users won’t touch any software that looks “outdated” from their perspective.

Tried to convince people to use it, and they move to WPS Office or OnlyOffice instead.

There is one: SuperTuxKart

It’s free and open source. There are plenty of community content, like custom karts and maps. It’s even adding game mode from popular game. The last one is from Rocket League.

Most of people are self-hosting the server. You can go to the official Discord or Any STK commmunity to find friends to play together :)

It’s okay to create your own name :) Some people refer the place as social web, some others create original name in their own language.

A well-mapped area on OpenStreetMap has much more details than Google Maps.

OSM allows more data point that’s not accepted on Google Maps. Like people have been mapping farm and its crops type, flowerbed, road accessible for blind people, or row of trees.

Not to forget, Google Maps also have a lot of faulty data.

Huawei is not the Android phone other than Samsung.

Exactly what happened with Indonesian release of Huawei.

Also, more ads everywhere. Even your lock screen.

Some Chinese phone release outside China also began to de-googled as well. At least that’s the case for Huawei in Indonesia.
