its not necessarily every single user, but the vast majority of the time when you interact with a .ml account they act insane and are assholes. it may only be a vocal minority, but the mods do nothing to stop them and on .ml communities they actively support that behavior.

you’re missing the point. in subscribed view .ml content can still appear. the point is to make it so that nothing from lemmy.ml can get through at all because the people on that instance suck to interact with.

the ux is dependent on the app or webapp (usually tied to an instance) you are using, and mbin is the same ux as Lemmy like 90% of the time. there is only one mobile app (Interstellar) but its no worse than most Lemmy apps. i think the better federation alone would be enough to make it more popular if Lemmy wasnt the only thing being recommended for threads.

yeah, as much as I hate algorithm-based social media short form content needs it. you scroll from one video to the next with no way to pick and choose which ones you interact with. normally you can just not click on a post and it gets nothing from you, but short form content does not allow that. that means the next video has to be chosen for you, and that regular feeds will not work. that mean you have to have some kind of algorithm or you will have to interact with tons of videos you have no interest in to get to one that is worth watching to you (which is the current state of loops).

mbin should be on there too IMO. similar to Lemmy but it federates properly with microblog stuff.

I’m a little behind on this, what does goodreads have to do with bezos?

thats not a whole instance though. thats just a place for an account to be. on activity pub platforms anyone can just make an entire indepent and independently functional instance of the platform.

let them sue, parody is fair use. get that bag king

but can I use a random old computer I have in my house to run an instance as long as there are a managable number of users? renting a server isnt self hosting. making one yourself is self hosting.

bluesky is technically decentralized, but the way it does it makes self-hosting all but impossible due to storage requirements. because of that, it really isnt. its like how a lot of ai models are ‘open-source’ even though the training data isnt available and the ai is still effectively a black box. it isnt decentralized unless anyone can make an instance, just like how it isnt open-source unless you have access to everything that makes it work (yes, by this definition chromium and android aren’t truly open-source, and I stand by that).

it has a combined “timeline” view in the mobile app now, and though it isn’t much better the website (for my instance, anyway) only requires one click.

I like kbin, think of it basically like if someone took lemmy and mastodon and made one platform that could use both. there is only one mobile app but it’s pretty good imo.

@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org sick

@pcgaming@lemmy.ca @fediverse@lemmy.world

mastodon is already the next twitter, bluesky is just a direct copy of it with nothing keeping it from going the same way. mastodon is open source (can’t be corpoed), federated (can talk to other platforms/instances so being on a small one doesn’t hurt anything), and most importantly, uses a protocol that doesn’t make self-hosting impossible due to storage requirements.

@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org I think mastodon should implement a post-to-community type thing like mbin has for microblog posts. It (and all other fedi. platforms, really) also needs like a tutorial or smth to show how to actually use the federation features of the platform.

just saw that yesterday. I hadn’t updated yet when I made that comment. glad it’s there even if only in beta because switching stuff like that sucks normally.

the dev for the mobile app said he’s working on that in the matrix channel

I’ve got one of my friends thinking of switching to Lemmy or mbin.

this is my corner of the internet

that makes sense, I am on kbin.earth which as far as I can tell is mbin’s .world equivalent.
