  • Sounds crazy but... maybe you shouldn't delete Facebook just yet

  • Very nice thoughts! I think you're right that organically convincing people IRL is most effective, but getting people over online from Reddit and Facebook is also a part of the solution I think. But definitely not the whole solution.

  • Wouldn’t it just take one bad actor to start spamming all the other instances with nonsence?

    In principle yes, one bad actor could start spamming a lot. But they usually get banned pretty quickly.

    If you deferate with the instance the bots are coming from they can just open another, right? Like a DDOS attack

    Well, you'd need a new domain so at least you're forcing the spammer to spend money on a new domain, which probably breaks most of these attempts. Also if the spammers are really bad or posting illegal stuff and they're registering domains, you could maybe report them to their domain registrar and possibly get them to shut them out or maybe even get law enforcement involved to figure out who registered the domains.

    As a last resort, you could go to allowlist federation, where you are by default not federated with an unknown domain.

  • Proton has stopped using their Mastodon account

    Jump

  • Tuta takes like 48 hours to respons, slower than Proton who takes about 12-24 hours, but as long as the response is under 1 week, its fine by me.

    Are you talking about support request response time here? Or what response time?

  • Good meme but had to downvote because this has nothing to do with the fediverse.

  • Unrelated tip: Use a backslash before the dash like so \- to preserve the dash rather than turning it into a bullet point.

  • I may have used Facebook as a bit of a provocative example here... But even on Facebook, there are certain groups that could enjoy the fediverse.

    The fediverse should be for everyone.

  • Bluesky is not truly decentralized, in the same way that Mastodon is. Bluesky is effectively centralized and is still controlled by an american corporation and could in principle be bought in the same way that Twitter was. Lastly, Bluesky made their own protocol instead of using the already-standard ActivityPub protocol. That's why a lot of people are skeptical and recommend Mastodon instead.

  • I still active on Reddit, Twitter, YouTube and sometimes LinkedIn for work (never used Facebook and Instagram) and I like Lemmy and Mastodon alot but I see no reason to restrict myself to only use Fediverse.

    I understand that - hopefully the fediverse can provide a viable alternative for all of those platforms in the future. Right now I don't think anything like LinkedIn exists on the fediverse, for instance.

    why do you guys call Twitter, Xitter?

    I think the idea of Xitter is to pronounce is as "shitter", because Twitter became (more) shit with Elon Musk's rebranding as X.

  • 100% fair! Not everyone can muster the will to wander into that hellhole. Some brave few might try :)

  • Mastodon is working to add the controversial 'quote posts' feature | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Right. I guess I just don't understand the use case since I'm used to comment trees (like here on Lemmy) and you're never confused about what someone is replying to since the comment being replied to is always just right above.

  • Is it just that it links back to the original or what? I mean how is it different from just quoting the post like this:

    It’s like a repost, but it lets you add your own post to it and shows the original post as a quote bubble.

    And then saying something about it?

  • Can someone please tell me what a quote post is? Maybe I'm blind but I don't see an explanation for what it actually is anywhere.

  • It's definitely not a problem in my own projects, but at work is a different story. With a huge project, compile times becomes a real slog.

  • 2024 State of Rust Survey Results

    Jump

  • Definitely useful and I think it compares pretty well to other tooling? My two biggest issues are compile times and "amnesia". First of all, compile times because the feedback cycle can get really bad. But that's not really rust-analyzer's fault, that's cargo/rustc.

    But rust-analyzer also has this weird "amnesia". Like if I have ran the checks and everything is good, I can go to definition and it will instantly bring me there. But if I make a small change and it starts running cargo check, it's like it forgets everything until it's done with cargo check. I wish it still allowed me to use what it knew before and go to definitions and give suggestions and such.

  • dozens of GB of disk use by Rust

    I was well above 100GB the other day 😅. But I think there's a problem with the setup as well

  • Tbf less than 15% said it was a problem and the others is either "it's good" or "could be better". I definitely still have a few grievances with rust-analyzer, it could be better.
