If your not using wefwef already, try it out.
Closest thing to Apollo right now.
Oh, looks like I’m switching instances.
MacOS.
Prefer Linux but I like the Apple hardware so I’m giving it a try.
Actually we still can add posts and comments, but just users from our instances and the ones we federate with can see it.
I’m a little confused myself as a Lemmy.world user. I was able to leave a comment on a behaw technology forum and got upvotes on it.
It’s the beginning of the end if you catch my drift.
There’s no way Reddit can recover from this.
Even if they were to revert every single poor decision in the last 6 months right now, the damage is done.
They showed their true colours, and everyone is done with the platform.
Long live Lemmy.
This whole Japan nuclear wastewater thing going around the news has me shaking my head.
The word nuclear in general just scares people.
What you’ll likely see is the button links to a centralized service that sends you to the Lemmy instance you are logged into
So the button would never link directly to any Lemmy instance but some central server that sends you to your own instance.
Who would run that server? Probably the same guys who develop these button integrations.
Email is the one thing I don’t bother self hosting.
You need to use an existing host with reputation or most of your emails will end up in junk or be outright blocked.
What’s to stop someone from just not checking the ‘bot account’ option for their bot though?
I showed my friend all of the privacy problems with threads and his response was ‘I don’t care, they already have everything anyway’.
I told another friend and their response was ‘I don’t care if they have my data, it’s not much use to them and it doesn’t have any effect on me’
The world is hopeless.
If they didn’t get paid by Reddit they likely sold it on the dark web.
Damn, 20k subs already!?!
I could have sworn it was 7k like 3 days ago.
Uh no, you can’t. It’s like any game with DRM.
You can’t play most games on steam without logging in at least once.
Just use TLLauncher.
OP hates Linux
Sorry OP, people who like Linux tend to have the same values this platform advertises.
It really boils down to availability. A VPS will usually be more reliable than a home network.
For 99% of personal use though a home network behind a dynamic DNS service will be more than good enough.
In a lot of subs it was like that though, to be fair.
Some mods go around collecting subs like cards. I’ve seen certain subs where the mods didn’t really bother protesting, or even did protests that actually drove traffic and platform engagement (r/awww and r/videos) because the thought of being removed from their positions of power was too much to handle.
These kind of mods felt like they ‘owned’ the subreddit in the same way spez thought he ‘owned’ everything. It was not free labour for them, they loved doing it and controlling content streams. If they were asked to pay money to stay as mod, they probably would.
Sorry if this post offends any of the good mods. If you are more likely to say ‘the sub I moderate’ over ‘my sub’ then you are probably one of the good ones, my statements don’t apply, and the whole ‘landed gentry’ thing is incredibly offensive.
I feel like the EEE attack is inevitable at this point.
Why else would they even be willing to federate?
They saw the threat that decentralized non-profit social media is and want to kill it before it has a chance.
All Lemmy servers and especially the largest ones need to defederate from it immediately.
Given their post on mastodon saying they won’t defederate, I would bet money they took that meeting and signed an NDA.
Maybe they even are getting some funding out of it.
This is all speculation of course, but if they don’t deny it then I think it’s pretty likely.
