I’m sorry, the platform that allows you to use a custom domain as your identity has “no account portability”, as opposed to the one where you have to manually copy over almost everything?

Of course. The modern way is

If only Lemmy had a feature to block posts with specific words… maybe another social network has it.
- Comment on How screwed would one be if their email provider shuts down? 5 days ago:
Buy your own domain and use it for e-mails (there are many providers that support custom domains). If your provider shuts down, just switch to a different one and keep the same address.

How dare you come up with a nuanced take on this topic instead of screaming “eat the rich”!

Let me see how you get instance admins to agree on what to defederate.
- Comment on Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon? 1 week ago:
Bluesky allows me to use my domain as my identity and make my own moderation decisions without having to run my own instance.

Dislike: every post inevitably has someone complaining about capitalism, Trump, police, Musk, …
- Comment on [Related post] Minetest rejects another federation suggestion AGAIN. 3 weeks ago:
How is this walled-garden behavior? There is no centralized database of Minetest accounts.
- Comment on Why don't we just gather up all the ocean's trash and all the nonrecyclables, put them in a rocket, and launch it into the sun? 3 weeks ago:
How do you weigh a boat precisely enough to detect a soda can missing?
- Comment on How are scammers getting my email address? 3 weeks ago:
True. A more reliable way to achieve this is to buy a domain and use addresses in the form websitename@your.domain.

Wiser words have never been spoken.
- Comment on YSK about Darkpatterns.games, a website that rates mobile games on their "Dark patterns" 3 weeks ago:
Nobody is forcing you to play the bad games. In fact, the website in the OP is made precisely for finding the good ones.
- Comment on YSK about Darkpatterns.games, a website that rates mobile games on their "Dark patterns" 3 weeks ago:
Clearly you haven’t played any good mobile games. Or any bad desktop computer games for that matter.
- Comment on YSK about Darkpatterns.games, a website that rates mobile games on their "Dark patterns" 3 weeks ago:
What makes mobile games not “real”? Sounds very gatekeepy. I don’t always have mhe space to pull out my laptop.
- Comment on You Should Know About Radio Free Fedi! 3 weeks ago:
I hate that it constantly plays advertisements for itself. Like, I’m already listening to you, I don’t need to be informed that you exist.

Because immigrant from, say, Islamic countries behave differently than those from, say, Vietnam.
- Comment on If Jesus can turn water into wine, but wine is still mostly made of water, can Jesus apply his powers recursively and create more and more concentrated wine? 1 month ago:
Sorry for being pedantic, but the set of rational numbers has the same cardinality (size) as the set of natural numbers, so it’s not “uncountably larger” (in fact, it’s countable). You should’ve chosen the real numbers for your example, which are uncountable.

What is ridiculous about it?

I’m not citing the author to add credibility, just to give credit.
- Comment on Most file types are just a renamed .zip 1 month ago:
For HTML, it’s to distinguish “standards mode” HTML from “quirks mode” HTML (weich doesn’t need a header).

Moderation is when you take down material because the recipient doesn’t want to see it. Censorship is when you take down content because you don’t want the recipient to see it, regardless of how the recipient feels about it. [vintermann, Hacker News]

- Comment on Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button? 1 month ago:
The unlocking flow is slower. With the fingerprnt scannerb I just put my finger on the screen and go. With face recognition, I have to turn on the screen, wait for it to pick me up, then swipe to unlock.
- Comment on If I have an account on Mastodon.Social, and another account on PieFed.Social are they technically on the same instance, since they're both on .Social? 2 months ago:
.com is for commercial sites (though many sites misuse it). Most Mastodon instances are not commercial.
- Comment on How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way? 2 months ago:
There are more straight men who want a partner than women, so someone will be inevitably left out no matter the amount of therapy.

As someone who used to visit incel communities (though I never supported the misogynist views), I think a lot of the appeal comes from the fact that they seem to be the only support groups for lonely men. Why aren’t there any non-toxic ones?
