Native Spanish speaker from Spain and fluent in Portuguese from Portugal

Las comunidades en español son escasas y de poca actividad en general. Te animo a participar en cualquiera que veas activa compartiendo lo que te interese. Yo ayudo moderando !esp@lemm.ee y seras bien recibido

Keep in mind that these are active users, many networks with huge numbers have registered accounts, but most have no activity.

In any case, be the change you want to see, help the network grow by providing content and activity, you will always be welcomed.

At no point have I suggested that one thing is better or worse, and I have also acknowledged that this list changes over space and time. I can add the social context because I agree with you regarding small groups.

However, what ultimately matters is what is culturally influential—what shapes the worldview of our societies, even for those who are not directly aware of it. There are works, not just books but also music or films, that change our perspective on the world in the long term and do so by influencing all subsequent creators (at least in the mainstream). Being familiar with these works is important, and this doesn’t mean there aren’t brilliant works outside of this sphere—it’s just that their cultural impact is so significant that they deserve your attention.

I suppose I will not convince you from my point, but I want you to know that I appreciate an educated conversation that for once does not deal with politics or things like that. It is a pleasure to chat with someone and exchange points of view and even better do it than someone with whom you do not agree.

I am referring to that which has a widely accepted cultural meaning. That which a large part of society knows and/or not knowing it will make you outside the general culture. This varies in space and time and is not decided independently by anyone, it is rather a consensus between creators and the public.

You can not read it, but you must know it or you will be left out of references that others know, impoverishing your experience.

I agree with the post, mostly. I don’t think anyone should read things they dislike, but I also think there are books that are required reading.

Reading a good summary or review may be enough, but not knowing who Romeo and Juliet are could be a problem even if not reading the book isn’t.

It used to not be necessary because democracies used to have moral authority but since the revelations of Manning and Snowden non-Americans see no difference between giving our data to the USA or to China or any other. We also know from the reaction to the war in Ukraine and Gaza that human rights claims are only sometimes used.

As long as our governments, political parties and politicians continue to use it, it will remain relevant.

Try a file app that allows you to view local network devices. If not, with a little more configuration you can find out about Kodi or Plex

But does she have a Mastodon account? Or is she still giving traffic and publicity to Twitter?

Yes, well, I understand that there is nothing “official”, I was asking more about the uses and customs accepted by the community in general.

I completely agree, what I’m saying is that even if I could actually buy it, or when this was possible, I would still not have ethical problems with “sailing the seas” nor do I think anyone should have those problems, I say again, the intellectual property belongs to billion-dollar companies

I understand the slogan and why it is used, but I have never had any moral qualms about pirating the intellectual property of a billion-dollar corporation, call me weird.

Only 13%?? With everything he’s going through, it seems very little to me. I think that the turning point would be top-level institutions and politicians changing Mastodon, I think that as long as that does not happen Twitter will still be relevant unfortunately
