What servers allow Nazis?

World is pretty bad yeah, but I don’t believe they would allow actual Nazis.

I really grew to dislike breaking bad. Saul and Ozark were cool though

Zero

WhatsApp says that it’s been fixed, but I don’t trust any closed source apps …

Yup. They already sell out their users to advertisers. What do people think they’ll do for domestic and allied intelligence agencies.

Firefox keeps adding stuff like this to its browser and it keeps messing up a good thing. I don’t mind them adding experiments, but they keep trying to add stuff that places them as intermediaries in some kind of convenient “service” that is offered.

Tetzchner says the company asked its users whether they wanted added AI features, and the response was “no.”

Revolutionary technique, asking if anyone wants a feature before you go all-in on it.

Small and spread out! Yeah.

Yeah! But also I’m fine with some of you going and doing your own thing…

Totally. It’s like people miss what reddit “used to be” (I get it, I was all-in like 10 years ago) but don’t realise what we’ve got here is already an improvement over that.

Subvert seems legit. I’m on their forums and I really feel like the artists, fans, and labels are trying to figure things out.

I just throw it all on the drive connected to jellyfin, with all my other media.

Yeah I’m not a huge fan of Mastodon throwing its weight around. Like I was setting up a snac2 server and I had to add so many extra endpoints to interface with Mastodon instances.

It’s incredibly frustrating that FOMO apparently drives users …

Yes I think you’ve put your finger on it there. This obsession with being able to see EVERYTHING in some kind of omega feed.

Like I was showing a friend lemmy and he was like “how can I see ALL the communities [in the whole world]?” or “what if there are duplicate communities?”

He didn’t get that it’s GOOD that you don’t automatically connect to every single lemmy server, or that it’s actually fine if two servers have the “same” community. They’ll just end up being their own thing.

Yep. Zero tolerance is the only way.

I’m wondering if it becomes an issue long before that scale actually. Like I’ve been maining lemmy since the API times and I’ve seen things change a lot since then.

Like there weren’t so many posts, communities, or new accounts all the time. Not that I’m complaining considering I was part of one of the first big “eternal lemtember” waves.

It’s just become a real social media with all that comes along with it. We’d be smart imho to figure out some of this shit before it becomes a problem, because it’s not like there’s a marketing team running ab tests to direct things.

the RAMPANT sexism and racism as thinly veiled intellectualism that has gone on for DECADES

This what I came to associate with reddit.

This kind of very super shallow toxic intellectualism that consisted mostly of call-and-responses opinions play-acted in weird rituals really wore on me. Even the more organic conversations were more like people just slapping opinions at eachother.

Not that we’re immune to ANY of this. Our smaller scale and decentralisation sidesteps the issue a bit, though. For now anyway.

I’m still workshopping this, though. It has not been as effective as I hoped for.

I am still interested in explaining it too just because I think it’s cool. The best luck I’ve had was to to point out a username belonging to a different server and then opening up that server in a browser and explaining that “so when they go on lemmy they visit lemmy.world, and here’s their home feed, but I visit lemmy.ca, with this home feed. though we can still see [mostly] the same posts in the all feed, and talk to eachother like {insert email example}.”

Something about pointing out the server’s url helps. Like if there was only lemmy.world in the whole world it would still function, but the all feed would be the same as the home feed.

Yeah I feel like it’s not going to get through to people until it’s more common.

Also tbh people don’t really need to know all the details to make full use of the fediverse. Like most people probably have vastly simplified or wrong ideas about how email works, or how websites themselves work, but they know enough for their purposes.

Bloody Farm red fife flour is for sure the tops in the red fife flour game.

I didn’t even think about it but now I see how confusing that would be!
