  • Why do people host RSS?

  • Pardon my ignorance but isn't that exactly what Inoreader and Feedly do?

  • Some thoughts after 3 years on Lemmy

  • Sorry I need to backtrack for a moment. I don't understand how you're suggesting right-wing discussion need not be on the "Threadvisere as a whole"? How would that even be possible? It's an open platform, instances don't get to control other instances.

  • When you say the discussions "need not be here" do you mean c/fediverse@lemmy.world? Or all of discuss.online?

  • Some thoughts after 3 years on Lemmy

    Jump

  • As it grows I think it will be much easier to justify a new person or instance in cutting off entire toxic areas and that will only cause it to grow faster.

    Right now we all have to weigh the balance between activity and toxicity but eventually we shouldn't need to make that calculation, we can have "high moderation" and "low moderation" versions of every topic.

  • Questions about Fedora

    Jump

  • I did the exactly same for the same reason. I think Zorin is well made and great for someone who is not good with computer, but it is probably too simple for someone who is advanced enough to know what Linux is.

    These days I recommend Kinoite or Bazzite for someone looking to ditch Windows; but they're so similar the only question is if they're planning on gaming with a controller.

  • Questions about Fedora

    Jump

  • For newbies ditching windows I like to recommend the Kinoite version of Fedora, it's immutable and basically impossible to break, and apps are installed from the "app store" so it's super easy for someone to understand.

    Also KDE has just gotten really amazing lately!

  • It's sad because he put so much effort into making evil malware that blocked out all the truth tellers but he can't bring himself to use it because of some deeper disorder that doesn't allow him to leave people alone on the internet

  • Confirmed. How many times do I have to confirm?

    I made a blocklist but I don't use it because I'm lonely and enjoy the harassment.

  • Looks like I failed ...

  • Yeah cuz if you did you'd be forced to drop the victim narrative you appear to be emotionally dependent on

  • How do you ping a location update? I've tried sending the hidden sms that's supposed to do is but it only seems to work about 25% of the time, and I have to run the actual location check like 3-4 minutes later

  • Looks like I failed ...

    Jump

  • i havent even looked at the blocklist tbh but my position is that insisting you have the right to force your speech upon someone else when they have made it extremely clear they wish to block you is just reprehensible behavior in my book. "No means no"! But it especially means no when someone is telling you to leave them alone like they did.

    you are not being silenced. someone blocking you on the internet is not an attack on you, you are not a victim, and it does not give you the right to attack someone else

  • Looks like I failed ...

    Jump

  • like i said if you want to choose to view that as evidence of secret conspiracy or whatever that's totally fine with me, I don't but also I'm not the one pretending im under attack because someone else on the internet doesn't like me

    people are allowed to block us and find us annoying! im sorry but it's true. We can choose to let it bother us and go around wallowing in self pity, but most people dont want to be around someone like that so again the fact that you ended up blocked should not be a surprise.

  • Looks like I failed ...

    Jump

  • that link looks very clear and posted in the pubic repo to me but yeah dude like i said if you want to imagine that someone else blocking you is somehow an attack then you certainly have that right but the only person you're hurting is yourself

    Edited for clarity

  • sadge

    Jump

  • Yeah it's not for me either, but I also believe that people have a right to not have other's speech or behavior forced upon them, which is kind of exactly what ActivityPub was created to facilitate and what separates it from corporate platforms.

  • golly I wonder how you ended up on a blocklist lol

  • ok

  • nah it was very clear and posted to a public repo but if you want to see yourself as a victim of some conspiracy I can't stop you
