I like the language exercise of trying to say a complete idea in the less possible words.

Except people don’t do that. They just create these ridiculously long and confusing threads

I think it’s worth noting that you could never post this message on BSky due to arbitrary and fucking stupid character limits.

I’ll never join anything with character limits. Like, why?

Yeah that works as well. Matrix is supported that way. As does Rocket Chat and I’m sure plenty of others.

Exactly. Pop OS is funded by hardware sales (though they do accept donations as well).

Thanks

Not just moderation, but you are responsible for all content on your server, some of which may be illegal and hosting it is a IRL crime, but the sheer size of it is impossible to filter.

There’s a fundamental problem with FOSS culture that anyone who asks for money is seen negatively. Which I get, but also, I think the other edge of the sword, depending on donations, is worse, because ad-driven and freemium companies like Google and Meta have created a culture of entitlement. Ideally they would set up a 501c3 like Signal or Ghost, but obviously that can be cost and time-prohibitive.

This is a community centered around a literal actual Nazi, forgive me if I shed zero tears.

Oh honey…

Lemmy is not nearly large enough to fall victim to that.

Plus we don’t have the financial incentives to allow it. Reddit turned Karma-farming into a literal business model.

TIL

and Albatross’s wording “and it’s ilk”

I have no idea what “ilk” means. I assumed it’s another one of those zoomer phrases like “no cap”, “ick” or “smh”.

I’m aware. We were talking about Facebook.

www.facebook.com

Facebook has no plans to federate, to my knowledge.

Probably because most sites are so bloated with JS and ads and trackers and pop-ups and cookie notices, etc.

It’s hard to believe it’s the same software when they come up with an ingenious idea like this but also can’t seem to figure out how to separate the search function from the trending posts section, or remove character limits, or offer proper threaded replies, or not tag literally everyone in a thread automatically and unnecessarily when you click the reply button or or or…

And this is why we dont do countdowns…

How is that you can no longer use any of the third-party apps that used to make it a good experience, and also everything you say and do on the website is being sold to data-hoarders to power AI.

Yeah exactly. Passwords and OTPs are NOT the kind of thing you want to lose…

And while you obviously never want your data stolen, even LastPass they didn’t get any actual passwords. Much like 1Pass, Bitwarden or Proton Pass, none of which have had any breaches of any kind that I am aware of. Too many low-hanging fruit.

Sorry, text is too small to read.
