How exactly can I see who downvoted? Can’t seem to find it in the regular view, and the debug info only shows the vote count, not the voter.

Yep. I quite enjoyed how lemigrad and lemmy.ml used to be the forerunners of lemmy and then quickly got kicked to the back because nobody in their right mind wants to interact with tankies.

Federation = replication of content across multiple servers for the sake of preservation and accessibility.

It does not equate to freedom of speech or freedom from censorship.

If you want an instance that allows just about everything, I repeat: Start your own, nobody is stopping you.

Without censorship tools this place would be riddled with spam, porn, and disinformation bots, just like reddit at its peak.

What moderators use those tools for, is in their hands. If you don’t like how certain instances or communities handle them, you can just start your own with minimal effort, that’s the beauty of the fediverse.

Sure, just give your data to China and get their ads, who cares.

It’s clearly some link farming bot account, just look at the username.

Nobody but a handful of nerds uses it though. You won’t get your grandparents and less tech literate friends to leave whatsapp in droves, simple as that.

Wise words. Another one for the block list.

It’s Instagram with no content or algorithm. To me it’s an empty page, because I have no idea how to subscribe to things that I would like.

I tried keywords like fun, sketch, photography etc etc, but those are catch-all phrases that get too much shit, and narrow keywords are so specific, I see next to nothing.

Some old netbook I guess, or unsupported hardware and a driver default. If all you need is ssh, the display resolution hardly matters.

I thought it was just onlyfans spambots doing this crap, hoping you’d stalk a profile.

What’s the actual point?

I’m consistently below 30 GB, unless you include local traffic from my fileserver to endpoints (98% movies that I stream locally via. VLC over smb). And even then I usually don’t exceed 1 TB.

That was the first instance out there, so amany early adopter communities are hosted there. I’ve blocked a handful problematic users and all the communist stuff and other topics I don’t agree with or care about, but by and large it’s alright.

Hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml are instances I’ve blocked altogether.

Nextcloud is federated? First time I hear about that.

For me it’s Lemmy, without a doubt. Never used Twitter, tried mastodon to see what it’s all about, didn’t like it.

Matrix seems decent, but nobody I know uses it, and finding useful groups is painful, especially on other instances (servers, whatever they call them).

Have a look at gullo.me, their entry level vps was just $2 or something.

Edit: https://hosting.gullo.me/pricing (apparently the cheapest is $3.5 - annually)

I’m using a browser setup hardened against fingerprinting, block all known trackers, and cookies are barred from cross-site activity.

Might not be impossible to track me regardless, but at least I’m not giving them everything with a chef’s kiss on top.

I’ve tested kagi and agree that the search results are great. What I don’t like is that it’s making anonymous searching impossible, since I have to be logged in to use it (or use my unique token as part of the url for mobile searches).

Ultimately this means to me that in a private window mode (or even logged out with a fingerprinting resistant browser) I do not have the same degree of anonymity I enjoy even when using Google, let alone DDG or others.

I like the idea of not being dependent on google, but exposing my entire search history to one single entity is not my answer of choice.

🍟+ 🧀 + 🥃 maybe? I guess it’s supposed to be a whiskey tumbler, but it looks close enough in color…

Damn, I wanted to make exactly the same joke.

Without context, that comment sounds ok to me?
