There have been some platforms that combined form factors like Friendica and mbin

I signed up months ago when it was first announced and just got my account confirmation.

They say dress for the job you want…

Pineapple on pizza comes from Canada.

I don’t care what they say about us anywoof. I don’t care 'bark arf.

The one part that’s a little bit messed up is that most people driving the cyber truck right now ordered it way back before Musk started his election interference and turning Twitter into a 4Chan styled financial black hole.

It’s easy to forget that, in the public eye, Musk once stood for eliminating petroleum dependence and science-based futurism. What a sad turn when the mask came fully off.

Honestly, sounds like one of those made up sci-fi dates.

Following this thread because I think it’s one of the very interesting unanswered questions about federation.

Has anybody heard of any plan or idea to reduce microplastics? We’ve been hearing all this research over the past five years especially about all of the scary places we’re finding microplastics (like our brains, and testicles, and the top of Mt. Everest). I have yet to hear about any studies into reducing microplastics.

Literally the plot of Wall-E

This is a false equivalence from the beginning. The far right has been more dangerous than the far left in America for at least a century.

I can’t think of a Lemmy community of tips or hacks now that I think of it…

No, that’s Lego. Legos is a large metropolitan city in southwestern Nigeria.

I always had to adjust the refresh rate.

I’m surprised nobody has mentioned the horribly distracting flicker that they make.

Mastodon manages to do it on ActivityPub

I would argue that there should be a block feature and also a mute feature. What we currently call “block” is actually just a mute.

Imagine finding out one day that someone you’ve blocked for harassment has been following you around and making nasty comments on every single post you made for months, or even leaking personal information. You just didn’t know it.

It happens, and even on Lemmy you will have people who will do this (doxing will get a ban but other behaviors may slide under the radar, especiallyif the target doesn’t see and report it).

When I’ve brought this up with the devs, they have shot it down immediately. Basically, their attitude is that posts are public by default. So hiding them from a blocked user doesn’t really do anything.

Of course, that’s nonsense. Mastodon does it. It has an incredible chilling effect on harassment.

I think there may be a challenge or challenges that you haven’t pinned down yet. First is: what problem does this solve?

Second is, how will people know that they are housed under the same roof, so to speak? A small instance dedicated to NBA basketball may be interesting, but if it seems disconnected then people would be wary. Small specialty instances can be shut down without warning for all sort if reasons.A consortium of instances may help with this issue, as long as it is immediately clear through common branding that they are part if the same group.

Third is that different communities have different needs.
