Insta
- Comment on Pixelfed's first plateau in progress 3 weeks ago:
Yes a fediverse version of Instagram. It relies on the activity pub protocol under the hood. Which makes it possible for example to follow like and comment to a pixelfed account from a mastodon account if you have one.
- Comment on Pixelfed's first plateau in progress 3 weeks ago:
The fediverse has had a very low retention rate. My bet is that after a year MAU will come down to 60k. That is if meta doesn’t embroil itself in another controversy.

It is either an extortion from your domain registrar or sometimes opportunistic domain squatters taking over your domain for a year or two. Check for how long it was registered a put a reminder to get it back

- Comment on Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising 8 months ago:
OEM have no incentive to ship Linux in their laptops. Plus they get discounts from Microsoft for using windows. So that’s not gonna happen
- Comment on Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising 8 months ago:
Microsoft is so confident in its desktop marketshare that they allow themselves to push the overton window on what users will tolerate.
The only competitor they can lose users to is Apple. And even then not everyone can afford an Apple computer, especially in the rest of the world
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
Keep on the good work. Those who advocate for defederation want echo chamber silos, this weakens the promise of Activitypub.
- Comment on Meta just showed off Threads’ fediverse integration for the very first time 11 months ago:

- Comment on Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI. 1 year ago:
I bet they can scrape Lemmy content for free then. There are no legal mechanisms to prevent them from doing so.
- Comment on Old articles are clogging up search engines 1 year ago:
It is because of google’s SEO algorithms. Old content has been around far more to rank up higher. And because people only click on first results. Newer content can’t rank against websites with more authority. Sometimes changing the date filter helps.

Something is definitely wrong. I have noticed I got no interactions with with comments since the upgrade. Which is unusual
- Comment on Apple to switch to OLED displays for iPads and MacBooks - Nikkei Asia 1 year ago:

- Comment on OCB 1 year ago:
You mean they skipped 4. Pointed polygons and chosen a hexagon instead. What’s their problem with right angles.
