Ah that is not the top comment on my instance. Thanks.

great post, thanks

The syncing of different mastodon instances is horrendous. I had to leave mastodon for bluesky because of this.

Though I still have a pixelfed account.

Yeah lol. I can make 3-4 shitty memes in 30 mins.

It fascinates me how hard it is to make sure people understand that

1. Two things can be bad at once
2. You can comment on an issue without whataboutism

Real people are being hurt, real elections are being won with these operations. Read the full memo, it’s in the crosspost.

danke

I’d love to read more about that if you know a source :)

What I mean more by this is that european intelligence agencies tend to have:

1. far stricter limits about what they are allowed to so
2. far less funding

I am, I’m Swiss.

But the fact is by far the most active, successful and offensive western intelligence agencies are in the United States.

I wish. But the republicans would never.

Yeah I’m self hosting. But the fact they are working towards it is what matters most. Bluesky has only been publicly available for a couple months at this point.

I used mastodon for a year. It didn’t really work out for me. I just took so much effort to find content or build an audience.

I didn’t go to threads because it’s owned by Zuck. But Bluesky is FOSS add free and decentralised, so I tried it out, and honestly (I’ll probably get hate here for this) but the experience is far better than mastodon. There’s an algorithm, everything works. Mastodon had always been buggy for me. The UI is nice, the community is nice etc.

Plus thanks to bridgy, all of my bluesky posts are automatically displayed on mastodon and I can follow people from mastodon on bluesky.

I think it should be proportion and not net score. Ie. If after atleast 8 votes have been cast >70% are downvotes, comment is collapsed.

I like that idea.

I’d like to note that while to you it may seem there is little interaction on lemmy, ie. votes and comments. I can assure you the median engagement on posts is far higher than reddit. The bottification of reddit has made it so that the few bot/troll posts get lots of engagement, and anything organic gets pretty much none.

Have you interacted with BeeHaw much? Because they do most the things you ask pretty well.

A lemmy community shows up as a user in mastodon

Someday commenter…

Someday you’ll learn about subtle discriminatory biases in language, which are often implicit and non-intentional, and how they have significant culturo-political effects.
