They don’t need to federate to do that.

This is a bad take.

I only know Flipboard as bloatware on a Samsung phone.

The best thing I ever did was abandon TrueNAS and move to Debian. TrueCharts were a fucking nightmare and constantly required maintenance or even fresh installs.

My current server is anything but power efficient as far as I can tell. It was thrown together during lockdown from various older server components bought from eBay.

Ah nice to see that it is actually feasible then. I imagine I’d have an even easier setup too as I intend to just use Linux with all my selfhosted software in Docker containers.

My server at the moment is anything but energy efficient. It’s an old Xenon (can’t remember the exact model) so definitely not Raspberry Pi levels of efficient. My biggest concern would be the GPU idling but it seems there are power management precautions I can take with Linux so maybe it wouldn’t be so bad.

I’m not sure it would be much good or much of an upgrade compared to what I already have now.

I absolutely wouldn’t have this issue as I could happily reboot whenever I wanted and it wouldn’t inconvenience anyone.

Yeah I was thinking this. How can anyone hate an interface that they can entirely configured themselves.

I loved Google+ at the time but I was invested in the Google services ecosystem back then.

I sort if have the same confusion. The more services pop up, the ore overwhelming it’s going to get for your average user.

I don’t know but I’m interested in the discussion. It never really matters which standard is better but simply which is more widespread.

I use Kavita exclusively for comics. I can’t imagine it’s great for regular books.

I recently did this for the second time. Started on FreeNAS, switched to TrueNAS Scale when it released and just switched to Debian. Scale was too reliant on TrueCharts which would break and require a fresh install every couple of months. I should’ve just started with Debian in the first place.

Your typical Threads user isn’t going to use Mastodon or Lemmy though and we won’t be using Threads so I can’t see either being extinguished.

No I do think they’re sketchy, hence why I appreciate being able to interact with Threads without personally using it.

I thought the idea of Threads using ActivityPub was great and the exact sort of change that Fediverse fans would want? Most people aren’t going to use Lemmy, Mastodon, PixelFed, etc but will likely be on board with Threads. Being able to interact with more people without having to use sketchy services sounds like a win to me.
