I’m pretty happy with engagement in the Fediverse.

Awesome!

True

Lemmy has about 40,000 monthly active users. Lemmy.world accounts for about 15,500 of that. That’s about 40%.
- Comment on How decentralized Bluesky is compared to the Fediverse. 2 weeks ago:
This site currently measures the concentration of user data for active users: in the Fediverse, this data is on servers (also known as instances); in the Atmosphere, it is on the PDSes that host users’ data repos. All PDSes run by the company Bluesky Social PBC are aggregated in this dataset, since they are under the control of a single entity. Similarly, mastodon.social and mastodon.online are combined as they are run by the same company.

So why does everyone keep referring to Bluesky as decentralized or even comparable to the fediverse
They call it marketing, I call it propaganda.
- Comment on How decentralized Bluesky is compared to the Fediverse. 2 weeks ago:
PDSes only store user data. These are full instances that can be used to browse the network. The idea is to make your account really yours. Bluesky is hosting most of them. But there are some people who do it on their own.
But bluesky controls much more important components in the network, namely the Relay and AppView.
If Bluesky decides to cut off your PDS you are pretty much alone.
Bluesky is pretty much a centralized platform like Twittler.

I suppose PDS instances are included: github.com/bluesky-social/pds

That’s pathetic
- Comment on Upvotes and downvotes are public information on Lemmy 5 weeks ago:
That may be true but it makes the Lemmyverse much more robust in the long term.
I don’t care if I have to subscribe to multiple similar communities or see some posts multiple times, as long as not one or just a few people control the whole discourse.
- Comment on Upvotes and downvotes are public information on Lemmy 5 weeks ago:
That’s why redundant communities are important. Admins and mods make different decisions and heavily shape culture in the community.
Many don’t like it but I think it’s a beautiful feature of the Fediverse.
- Comment on GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation 5 weeks ago:
If you need private repositories for commercial projects (e.g. because you represent a company or are a developer that needs a space to host private freelance projects for your clients), we would highly recommend that you take a look at Forgejo. Forgejo is the Git hosting software that Codeberg runs. It is free software and relatively easy to self-host. Codeberg does not offer private hosting services.

What do you like? Or asked differently, what do you think is on Windows compared to other OSes?

We need an incognito mode for the incognito mode.

Ironically, I use incognito for that.

I’d also consider writing a script with AI, which you don’t understand, as vibe coding. Basically if you wouldn’t be able to do it on your own it’s vibe coding.
- Comment on What exactly is a self-hosted small LLM actually good for (<= 3B) 2 months ago:
In the US maybe but not in Germany, Austria and probably most countries in Europe.

I’m not a lawyer but I suppose it would depend on the ToS and if the user agrees to the recording and processing. But if it allows the extraction of the real identity of the user it’s probably a GDPR issue.

CSRF protection is a security feature not bot prevention. A bot would just need to get a token first.

Nope they all use the public API. Even the default Lemmy web client.
