In other words, your post may still be visible on, say, a linked Mastodon server, even if you decide to delete it with Threads.

“I think this is a downside of the protocol that we use today, but I think it’s important to let people know that if you post something and another server grabs a copy, we can’t necessarily enforce it,” Cottle says.

… it’s not a downside of the protocol, it’s just a literal impossibility. Once someone’s downloaded something, you can’t do a thing to take it back.

Guess I’m a member of an ex-military terrorist cell that dabbles in sports, since I’m in Eureka Seven!

Yes! I’m a good girl, and I love anime! :D

As did Pleroma and several other fedi servers — that’s not really innovation, it’s something simple that Mastodon devs deliberately avoided implementing.

I am very very hyped. I’ve been assuming the movie’ll be bad, but this trailer actually looks very cool and maybe even a bit subversive!

I remember seeing the sequel movie in theaters — it was a delight, so many people cosplaying! The movie itself was a very slight letdown, but still very enjoyable. I can’t wait to see this one in theaters, too! Maybe I’ll be a cosplayer, this time. :D

Wanted to pile on the Haibane Renmei train ­— what a good show!

For somewhat larger projects, I think the OS Haiku is a perfect example. It isn’t a benevolent dictatorship, there is no single leader — there are just long-time contributors. If you send in contributions substantive or regular enough, there’s a good chance you’ll get push access. Patches generally are accepted with open arms, and devs with push access give constructive criticism on patches kindly. The OS is better for it!

Better yet, check out NewPipe on F-Droid. :^)

It’ll try to render it, even if just as markup (like if you try using and Latex markup for math).

The federation with Mastodon is mostly one-way: We can’t see or comment on Mastodon posts, but Mastodon users can see and comment on Lemmy posts.

Mastodon’s like Twitter… its posts wouldn’t fit in the Lemmy UI well. Though I hear kbin works well with both Mastodon-style and Lemmy-style posts.

A community-driven hyper-hackable text-editor

Ah, so it’s Emacs :^)

Matrix (with its main client Element) is probably the most popular Discord competitor right now. It’s libre and federated, just like Lemmy!

I also use xattrs, too, actually. I generally take care to make sure they’re copied over during backups etc., and when I’m sending files to other people I either tell them about the xattrs or copy them into a text-file that I archive with the file. It’s the nicest way of keeping metadata imo, even if it is a bit opaque.

but that would be a huge pain to keep in sync since both files have to be moved together.

It’s only a pain if you’re moving them by hand, btw. :^)

Thanks!

Would you mind sharing the link/author of the extension? I tried searching on Firefox’es site, but only found spammy-looking unrelated add-ons.

I’ve been wondering about this, too! It might be nice for hash-tags to somehow be invisible to Lemmy (so as to not be intrusive or annoying), but visible during federation to non-Lemmy/Kbin servers? Without hash-tags, discoverability of Lemmy posts on Mastodon & friends is pretty much DOA, unless they’re actively sought out.

Not torrenting really limits your grasp, but for books Library Genesis is fantastic.

Missed the chance for the title “There will never be a second Second Life,” real shame.

Your redirect idea would probably work excellently as a browser extension — there are are redirect extensions like that for Mastodon already, actually.

As for the domain… the only thing I can think of would be, like you said, a Lemmy instance.

If you’re moving primarily files, I’d probably use Synthing, which is easy to set up for several devices and is really good at syncing files. If you need to be sending messages like a chat, then you might have some luck with Berty, which can work over local Wi-Fi or Bluetooth; though it is in beta.
