Good news: This will result in more average-user understanding of the fediverse, getting past the consistent issue of people not understanding it. It will increase the Fediverse’s usershare by a considerable amount. And to top it all off, it will probably cause a snowball which will make the Fediverse as a whole eclipse twitter.

Bad news: This is being done by facebook, willingly. Any company that is taking action like this is doing so for their own benefit and no one elses. This may be detrimental to the Fediverse in the long run if users opt to all just jump on to Threads because of some obnoxious ‘Embrace, Extend, Extinguish’ tactic they may or may not pull in the future.

yes but it doesn’t always feel like it.

LinkedIn feels like Uncanny Valley social media.

Like there are Alternates there trying to imitate human interactions.

‘LinkedIn’

LinkedIn is as much Social Media as talking with your manager is Socializing.

It’s really plastic and fake feeling there, more so than anywhere else.

No, a UPS uses at least 1 Lead-Acid battery, not LI-ION.

similar enough. 6c/12t 32gb system.

Okay, I’m genuinely confused about the NextCloud hate.

I’ve been using it for a month, and It’s literally had 0 issues.

Nothing about it seems unstable or slow. I’m 99% certain if you’re having issues with nextcloud, it’s a hardware issue.

Drive: NextCloud, FileCloud or Synology Drive are options. But your Intel NUC might be past it’s due date if it cant handle something basic like NextCloud.

Meet: Skype and Teams exist for non-selfhosted options. As far as self-hosted options I’m not so sure for something like this.

IF you’re going to run your self-hosted server to run a minecraft server, get a webclient front-end. Even though it’s not FOSS and therefore a no-no with most lemmy users, AMP from Cube Coders is a great option, it starts a flat $10 fee for a permanent license. It has some fantastic features for remote backup among supporting other games.

However, if you’re a bit concerned about that there is Pterodactyl, which I’ve heard good things about, but I went with AMP because it supports other game servers like GMOD.
