- Comment on pooling media libraries - like distributed storage 10 months ago:
All files stored on IPFS are public. It's also incredibly slow and inefficient. You would be better off using BitTorrent.

Lemmy is the only community I know where claims of "toxic extreme leftist" cannot easily be dismissed.

Every website has access to the password you use on that website. ALWAYS use unique and randomly generated passwords for every service.

XMPP works well and the community is actively developing server and clients. There aren't any big corporations funding it anymore that's all. Still the best instant messaging protocol in 2023.

- Comment on Flipboard Starts a PeerTube Instance 10 months ago:
I will never use any instance that federates with instances that federate with instances not run by someone as a hobby. Imagine what could happen if they threaten us to defederate!

You're not fooling anyone.
- Comment on Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads 10 months ago:
How do you know? We should fix this on the software level.
- Comment on Polls on reactions to Threads 10 months ago:
You can block the entire domain.
- Comment on A take on an "ideal" fediverse 10 months ago:
So we should defederate because we will have issues defederating due to the amount of content we lose? Isn't that kind of self-contradictory?

Outside of for-profit corporations and outside of academia? So neither the private sector nor the public sector? Who should do medical research then?
- Comment on A take on an "ideal" fediverse 10 months ago:
I like your considerations, but there are no conclusions on how users/admins/developers should act to achieve this ideal state.
- Comment on Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads 10 months ago:
There should be an option to make posts instance-local for such things.
- Comment on Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads 10 months ago:
If a user blocks a domain I suppose their content isn't send to that server anymore I hope?
- Comment on Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads 10 months ago:
I'm not sure I understand your question or why you think of those statements as being exclusive. I will try to answer separately.
is the fediverse a service that should allow Threads/Meta
The good thing about the Fediverse is that it isn't a single service, but many federated ones. For any single instance, I think not defederating maximizes user freedom: A user who wants to interact with Threads can do so while a user that doesn't want to see any content from Threads can block their domain.
is it like XMPP and doesn’t have to be popular
I think it's a little bit different from XMPP, in a sense that the Fediverse is a public space where I communicate with strangers, so I would like it to be popular. For instant messaging I just need my friends there, but sure it would be easier if I didn't have to show everyone how to create an XMPP address and what client to use.
- Comment on Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads 10 months ago:
Easily incorporated into the posts themselves
We should definitely block instances who insert ads into the content. However there is no evidence of threads.net doing something like this.
Not now… But they can easily do it if they get a majority market share. Don’t behave like they want? Defederated from the majority of the content.
They could threaten to defederate from us so we should defederate from them? It makes no sense.
Are you familiar with the story of EEE and XMPP?
XMPP works great, I use it everyday. It doesn't have to be popular, you only need to convince some of your friends to use it.

That would be awesome, wouldn't it be?
Do you think we live in the best possible of worlds where nothing can be improved anymore?
- Comment on Beeper vs Apple battle intensifies: Lawmakers demand DOJ investigation - Android Authority 10 months ago:
Yes, they should be legally required to open up access to their service. No more walled gardens that hold a large number of users hostage.
- Comment on is there a way to refederate instances just for me? 10 months ago:
If the instance defederates, users do not have an option to interact with the defederated instance anymore. The only choice you have then is to join an instance where the moderation policy agrees with your values or host your own instance. If you just want to see if defederation was the right idea, you could just visit those instances directly and look at their local timeline.

Yes? At least people on the stock market are putting up their money instead of just talking.

Sync between devices. I only read RSS on one device so I don't need it either. Besides if you don't think a service is useful to you why do you host it?
