Is non-for-profit the sweet middle ground for the Fediverse?
Imagine federation as a spectrum where on one end everyone has his own instance (server) and on the other end one centralized server.
What would be the best balance to get the most users to the Fediverse? Imagine if a reputable (in terms of being pro-user) company like Mozilla takes on creating a centralized service for regular social media users. Then programmers and advanced users can get connected with regular users without the annoying restrictions and at the same time, regular users can enjoy private and privacy-friendly clients to connect with others.
am I the only one who thought everyone already knew this? Especially Ctrl + Backspace. I don't remember the last time I erased a word character by character
Blocked vs defederated instances
Is "defederated" instances a synonym for "blocked" instances? are they read-only without interactions or they can't even be read from other instances?
E.g: if beehaw is defederated can I still browse its subs from lemmy.world?
Because not everything can be viewed in terminal, crab_man
A moment of pain is worth a lifetime of glory. Remember that.
The real question is can you shit and prevent yourself from peeing if you have a full tank.
Where do we all go now?
I suppose it's time for an internet break.
There was a subreddit for cool/interesting/obscure websites. I forgot its name. Would be nice to have a sublemmy for it here.
Even tho the meme is using "disappointed black guy", I wouldn't be surprised or disappointed actually.
It's meta, what else can someone expect from them?
even though performance is worse due to server load...
Just shows you the importance of choosing domain names
Creating multiple accounts? do it on seperate instances
If you're used to creating multiple accounts on Reddit, try to create them here on separate instances. This distributes the load on instances and is important to keeping Lemmy federated. E.g: not having onr instance becoming "too big". The same deal with cryptocurrencies mining pools.
I feel this kind of rant is good to spread. It's better than more and more people know and have this kind of attitude towards big social media.
One PC screen is more than enough...
... if you know how to use virtual desktops and shortcuts. You can't look at two screens at a time, anyways.
One use case I can understand is having a 2nd monitor for checking stock prices or checking for a certain event. Other than that, I don't see how it contributes to "productivity" while working or coding for example.
P.S: Tiling WM users may understand this post more
Any Federated alternative to Pinterest?
A combination of PixelFed and Lemmy where users can create media collections...
