  • I for one welcome Bluesky, the ATmosphere, BTS ARMY, and millions of Brazilians to the fediverses!

  • They're still cosplaying decentralisation. Google hosts images on a separate domain to the one where they serve documents, are they decentralised? When we see more indexers, by all means let's consider BlueSky decentralised, but until then, they're just offloading traffic.

  • Mastodon Announces Fediverse Discovery Providers

    Jump

  • It's adding centralisation where there's no need for any. In the same way that BlueSky cosplays as decentralized, this is what this effectively tries to move towards. In that whoever runs the relays/indexers is in control.

  • I hear you, but it features Mastodon very prominently and Mastodon aren't exactly reputable for supporting anything. Going as far as to implement things in a manner that breaks compatibility with other Fediverse services.

  • The absence of any Lemmy mention seems weird to me.

  • When you parse that code, it presents this ඞ symbol, which looks close enough to the famous characters from Among Us, the viral video game.

    Question about Arduino's…

    Jump

  • No worries, I figured you were just lost, so tried to point you in the right direction. Since you're posting via mastodon, just remake the toot and tag those two along with !arduino@lemmy.ca and you should, with any luck get the right eyes on your conundrum.

    Matrix's ineffective moderation is making me consider ditching it.

    1. Matrix has nothing to do with the Fediverse.
    2. Given that they'll regularly push updates of Element to the Play Store without tagging releases on their repository, effectively leaving F-Droid users without releases and with a clogged up Play Store, I'm unsure why you're surprised at the lack of sense of duty to users.
    3. There is no real three.

  • People say Mastodon migration is better than Lemmy's, but their documentation says "Mastodon currently does not support importing posts or media due to technical limitations", am I missing something?

    Jump

  • Mastodon has a redirect. I believe that's the only thing missing.

  • 4 things white people can do to start making the fediverse less toxic for Black people (DRAFT!)

    Jump

  • Off the top of my head… yes, in that they integrate tighter with Mastodon and thus increase the likelihood of a wider black audience partaking in discussions.

  • Also, while we're here. Let's call out instances that don't update their Lemmy version because they want to make a point, even though doing so would bring quality of life improvements to black community members. Looking at you Beehaw and even Lemmy World.

    Also Lemmy.ml for turning into fuck ups. Being the second largest instance, especially one that was less mainstream in their beliefs, they just had to keep doing them. They were never going to be popular, but different and well run was enough. Then they started making questionable decisions and not explaining them. Which, being that they're so well read, know never ends well. They had more time on their hands and started being overly involved in the instance and that hurts their community members in ways in which they're too up their arse to take stock of. Step away from the admin panel, let your moderators moderate.

  • The Fediverse does have a massive white slant and the default experience isn't very embracing of different cultures.

    There's a bunch of people who would like to see things improved and as of yet, there's not much consensus. The only real idea I've seen floated thus far is blocklist subscriptions.

    A massive part of the problem as I see it is, and don't get me wrong, this is a symptom, not a root cause, people are inclined to use the wrong tools. Mastodon is a microblog and yet people are determined to use it for groups and nuanced conversation where their instance only supports 400 characters.

    Also WriteFreely is the only active blog service in the Fediverse and needs some love.

    We need to encourage people to move to tools that better fit their needs and desires and honestly part of the problem with that is that people feel they'll lose their interactions/audience and that is about Mastodon being shit, because while they can focus on making things more seamless with Lemmy and soon to be Discourse, NodeBB, etc. They're seemingly not willing to.

    In regards to Lemmy specifically. Lemmy has a problem. You can see that by the fact this has been voted down to oblivion. When people treat ALL like a personal subscription feed and vote down things they're not interested in or dislike, it creates a monoculture. And no, I'm not saying don't downvote things, but there's a difference between voting down something because it's not great in a community and because you're trying to curate ALL. Maybe a solution is to add local/subscribed only voting options for communities. Lemmy needs to learn to embrace things that aren't for you and sometimes, in fact most times, that's as simple as saying, "that's not for me, I'll ignore it."

  • Do what YOU want with your money.

    But if you have spare money, please check out the #MutualAid hashtag (on mastodon) and consider helping those in need there.
