  • PixelFed has increased the Fediverse's monthly active users by over 40% in the last few weeks, how do we feel?

  • You can just open the Pixelfed links using your Mastodon instance:

  • RedNote may wall off “TikTok refugees” to prevent US influence on Chinese users

  • To be fair, there are plenty of critical content. It's just that they use coded language to avoid the censorship. (Probably not on XHS / RedNote though? It's more of a Facebook equivalent.)

  • Microsoft 365 sees 43% price hike thanks to Copilot — existing customers safe until renewal

  • Uhh... The other dev. Yeah, he's obviously wrong.

  • Source? I did a cursory search for "GDPR" on the GitHub issues and can't find anything like that.

    Anyway, this seems to be their more recent stance:

    For the future, any GDPR compliance advice needs to come from a lawyer, not from random non-lawyers interpreting what they think is correct.

  • I actually use "Subscribed" because I don't want to see posts from random communities. Haha...

  • I mean, personally I don't disagree with that random person 😂

  • FWIW: I used join-lemmy.org and found lemmy.ml, submitted my registration, but then checked on Wikipedia and it says lemmy.world is the largest instance, so I wanted to cancel my registration for lemmy.ml (there's no such feature according to the admin). Anyway, that's how I ended up here on lemmy.world 😆

    Did not notice any of the political leanings until just a few days ago, so it's definitely not obvious unless you look deeper into things.

  • you are aware that you aren’t restricted to things on your instance right?

    I'm not new to the Fediverse, so yes, I'm aware of that, and also of the drama that comes with defederation (lmao)

    also who cares how big an instance is?

    I’d only choose to stick with the largest ones, as they have the highest chances of providing me with a sort of permanence.

    Or in other words, they're much less likely to just shut down without notice.

  • I don't know. I just came across it yesterday, and I thought it'd be something interesting to share.

    It was explained in the post's body actually:

    Curiously, it does not list Lemmy under the list of Reddit alternatives.

    Most of the people here know about the Lemmy devs political stances.

    Seeing as I've only started using Lemmy less than a month ago, I've only just very recently started realizing that.

  • Fair point, but at this time, I'm on mastodon.social and lemmy.world, i.e. some of the largest instances. I simply don't have much motivation to migrate.

  • If I could use a single identity across the whole Fediverse, I would. Unfortunately, that's not a reality yet.

    So we're forced to choose instances (i.e. "home servers"). And for me, that means I'd only choose to stick with the largest ones, as they have the highest chances of providing me with a sort of permanence.

    I don't see any big mbin instances:

  • So far I haven't found a better alternative. Lemmy communities are already much smaller than their Reddit counterparts.

    Personally, I don't plan to venture into even more remote locations. It defeats the community part of it...
