- Comment on So, after using Lemmy for 1.5 Years. You are telling I am not even allowed to use Lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
The social media lemm.ee runs the software Lemmy and forms part, along side other social media (server/instances/providers) of the Lemmy network that simultaneously forms part of the Fediverse.
OP and you too are on Lemmy because you are part of servers that run Lemmy, and that actively make part of the Lemmy network in all its aspects, up to its distinct userbase culture that differentiate it not only from the wider fediverse but also from other link aggregators like Mbin and PieFed.
Not only is your comment painfully pedantic but also patently wrong.

If an admin put limitations to who can or can't belong and/or interact with their server, it's their responsibility to whitelist and blacklist accordingly.
- Comment on What if we called instances providers? 4 weeks ago:
People can perfectly understand terms like instance or server...if they are explained to them.
They are also accustomed to concepts like social media and social network that can also be used to explain the Fediverse. Each server is its own social media platforms interacting with eachother through a distributed social network.
But, I actually think the Fediverse require an intermediate point between social media and social network, or something above it.
If the Fediverse (including in this case all decentralised protocols like ActivityPub, Zot/Nomad, Diaspora, Ostatus, AT Proto, etc) is a Social network and each particular instance it's own social media platforms that interact within the network, the software they run and the community they form part of within the wider fediverse is an intermediate stage between social medium and social network.
Now, if each server/instance are social media platforms and the software they run are the social network; the protocol or protocol they use is/are a network of networks and the Fediverse a network of networks of networks of social media platforms. - Comment on Bluesky and Mastodon users can now talk to each other with Bridgy Fed | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
I use Wafrn and I don't know how exactly the devs did it, but wafrn gives you the ability to enable a bluesky account and interact with people there without being in the official server.
I particularly don't have it enabled because I don't care for it, it's basically twitter 2.0 and I hated twitter. So I have no intention to engage in or with a place that's basically ""decentralised" twitter", but it's there and it's opt-in.
