I like where your head’s at, but Mastodon’s system of verification seems much easier to me and doesn’t rely on a third party.

twas a joke, but that’s a nice feature!

Storing upvote / downvote totals you gave to each user, and a setting to display that history next to their name.

Where is the instance that autobans any account that users have downvoted X times?

Lemmy does feel more and more like 4chan every day…

This is literally literally a drama article

It’s annoying to be treated that way isn’t it?

Please don’t sealion me.

That’s a good point, I have no doubt Linux would not be in the position it is if he were more sensitive to it.

Anyone else here actively put off by Linux drama and headlines like “Torvalds Drops support After Clash!”

EDIT: New rule?

I think linkrot is happening much faster here than on reddit, even if just counting deleted posts.

Are you sure? Are lemm.ee posts showing as deleted for you? It looks like the copies of anything posted to lemm.ee still exist on the instances that it was federated with. Try this link !animation@lemm.ee, I am pretty sure it should still work on your instance.

The top finger kinda gives it away imo

I am a happy /c/fuckai subscriber and I am still comfortable admitting that image generators can be great for memes and quick jokes.

You’ve got the right idea, uploading content on old internet was (largely) about putting yourself out there hoping to find like minded people to connect with. All those “quirky, weird” websites people nostalgize over weren’t seeking clout, they were seeking connection.

I think it’s healthy to deprogram ourselves from the idea that “followers” are the goal of creating content. If an influencer is making “art” with the express purpose of getting followers that they can leverage into marketing deals, then are they really making art? If the goal is to make money then… that’s just a job, imo.

“EEE” doesn’t really make sense in this context, and even if there was some way for Meta to affect non Meta-owned instances- ActivityPub is an open protocol and Meta is allowed to use it however they want.

Got it, very interesting! I look forward to it being worked out soon, Wordpress federation is awesome.

Still not fully integrated, but it’s nice to see broader ActiviyPub adoption beyond “follow a handful of users who opted-in”. I never expected Meta to be the company inching towards federation and not bluesky. Makes me wonder if Tumblr will ever follow through with their promises to federate.

edit: To the (sadly predictable) response that “Meta will screw you over in a heartbeat” YES, of COURSE they will, that’s why it’s GOOD to be able to access Threads content safely and privately from a non-Meta controlled platform.

Jellyfin is great, but in defense of Plex, they announced that remote streaming would require one of the two parties to have a Plex pass was coming back in March so I don’t know if it’s fair to say they are holding anything hostage.

This is great, I just cross-posted it to !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com hopefully someone can post it to Reddit. It’s really nice to see a intro to the concept of the fediverse that doesn’t get bogged down with technical details.

Just to be safe you may want to copy important files to a cloud storage AND usb drive before formatting the drive.

Also don’t overthink this and there is nothing wrong with Kubuntu, but Kinoite is going to be very similar and a little more resistant to n00b tinkering mistakes.
