xitter for mastodon

This was step 1 for me, and it happened at the first rumbling of Musk taking over, though I don’t use Mastodon.

traded reddit for lemmy/kbin

This was step 2. I was using reddit and lemmy side by side, though mostly ignoring reddit, until the API change came through. I deleted my reddit account then and haven’t looked back.

discord for matrix

I did this a few months ago.

youtube for peertube

I don’t really use either…

You could try double layered socks, like the ones you can get from the Doc Marten stores…

How did you freeze them in the first place?

I spend more time on Lemmy, but that’s mostly because I admin an instance.

I wish keeping fit and healthy was enough to give you an easy recovery. I ran a half marathon the week before my GRS, and still managed to catch pneumonia and have a bad reaction to the catheter

I don’t understand how you can watch tv with all of the other things you could be doing tbh.

I’m my mind, sitting in front of a device that only lets me watch things it decides on the timeframes it decides whilst blasting me with ads is one of the last things I want to do with my time.

Almost anything is better

I’m transgender, so, that would be a no from me

Other than blue bubbles,

I’m the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green,

I’m far enough removed from iPhones that I don’t know what this means :)

Looks like we do :)

That’s how I do it now. I was looking for something less reactive though

Will do!

I don’t think they’re lost. They’re just not displaying correctly. They still appear in RSS feeds and notifications, and they federate successfully. They just don’t show up properly in the lemmy interface. But that’s true even on the lemmy.ml instance. If I try and view all comments for this discussion on lemmy.ml, I can’t see any comments!

We haven’t gone too deep in to troubleshooting on our end yet, because I wasn’t sure if this was a known issue. The fact that they don’t display on the flagship instance either is what made me think it might not be on our end

Something has obviously gone wrong with our upgrade. A lot of posts and comments are simply missing, and your reply here shows up as an notification for me on my home instance, but the link doesn’t work when I click on it. And when I view the group post directly, I can’t see any replies.

So for now I’m back to my lemmy.ml account to reply.

No, they didn’t share a post about how a police officer used their products.

They shared about because they were bragging about hiring a police officer that used to use their products to do surveillance before he started working for them.

Then when they were called out for that, they doubled down

@snek_boi@lemmy.ml

Should searching for a community from that instance trigger federation automatically though? Unless one instance has blocked the other (which seems unlikely, given the other instance is effectively a single person instance)

Once or twice a day

I have never used Tumblr, and I have no idea whether it’s chronological or whether it has an algorithm, but if it does use an algorithm, I can’t imagine that changing when they join the fediverse. But even if most of them get an algorithmic feed combining tumblr and greater fediverse content, as long as I can access their content on my own terms, it’s all good to me. Even if tumblr pulls lots of users away from smaller instances, it still works out ok because I can still control how I consume their content.

It only becomes a problem if tumblr pulls people away from the greater fediverse, and then disconnects from it, but that’s a different issue altogether, and one that worries me more than algorithms

I mean honestly, it doesn’t seem like it matters to me. An instance gets a feed from instances it has federated with. What difference does it make if one instance orders that content differently to another? It becomes another point of differentiation between instances, and non algorithmic options will always remain available at the instance level, and presumably even the user level

I don’t know how I feel about it. I like that it will encourage people to join. I don’t like that it isn’t a generic mastodon interface. However, if flickr and tumblr are coming, this Vivaldi’s way of doing is going to end up seeming pretty innocuous

Once I tried it, I couldn’t go back. It’s main issue is that it has very little 3rd party app support. MilkTea (designed for Misskey) is it really, and it’s imperfect.
