A million is money but not “controlling the means of production and lobbying politics” kind of money.

I really wish we had a service like this on Europe.

I know they ship to Europe. But shipping costs are prohibitive for small buys.

Sad that antipiracy laws are in place.

But understandable that lemmy.world protect themselves against those unfair laws.

The sailing will continue, but, as always, we should be wary of the “navy” and sail with precaution.

Lemmy.ml is a massive instance. I don’t really know where are you posting there, probably in political communities and thus this reaction. But I follow lots of communities that are hosted on Lemmy.ml and they are just normal communities about their topics, normally technology. I certainly do not want to lose those communities of having to move my accounts around just because you had some problems with some particular people. Block them yourself and move on.

I don’t get why there’s always people in small places that are always doing their best to make them even smaller. Lots of goods things are lost this way. We must be clever in trying to preserve and make this good things thrive. And, believe me I’ve been in lots and lots and lots of small community driven projects, this kind of attitude is no good for them. You cannot take every small issue you have with some part of the project and say: “we do not work together anymore”.

If there’s an issue let’s be constructive about it. But defederation of such a big instance with so many people and communities that just does not care about this drama… I don’t see how that helps lemmy as a whole.

I suppose there’s a lot of political ideology behind what’s being ask for, and what’s being said. So I do not expect convince OP of anything, as those hard as steel political beliefs are inmutable. But I hope sanity and a wish for making Lemmy a big project of the kind of social networks we want in the future will prevail. Even if that means sharing space with people you don’t politically agree 100% about everything, because that’s how a community works, different people working together.

I really like lemmy as a platform. The only thing I miss is better search options.

Someone knows a efficient way to search for a topic using lemmy or some search engine? Some trick or something?

The fact that topics are dispersed in many instances makes kind of hard to try to find a post where someone may be talking about the topic you need.

Debian.

Stable, well documented, easy to install. I do not need anything else right now.

I use Spanish QWERTY layout and it’s… weird for coding.

I’m used to it from my whole life so that’s what I use but sometimes brackets or special symbols are weird.

I’ve always wanted to change to use US-International layout. So I can keep ñ and áéíóú, and also have easy access to coding symbols. But I have never got around it.

Anyhow I still think that whoever designed ISO layouts messed up. We should use US international layout. That’s my two cents.

Just wait until the next Reddit fuckup.

We need to make Lemmy a more interesting and mature place for when it, inevitably, happens.

It will come in waves as Reddit would become worse and worse over monetization.

I don’t know who expected the fediverse to be the most secure and private network of the world.

It’s a “independent” and open source social media platform. A better place to be than corporate social media. That’s it.

We need a Google successor.

Something non-profit.

Mostly. But it is launched in a different instance of your browser, so it doesn’t mix with it. Becoming more convenient for some cases.

Some websites can be directly “installed” in you app drawer. They are really like an advanced shortcut for the mobile webpage. You probably haven’t seen it a lot because commercial webs that want to shove their propietary app down your throat disable this option.

But both Lemmy and Mastodon have it enabled.

To do so, click on options on your desired browser and you’ll find an “addto startup page” option or something along those lines.

My feed doesn’t stop. It’s more active that my old Twitter feed.

I just follow lots of active people.

Threads will be as revelant as the metaverse.

So… Not relevant at all. Meta is a dying company.

It’s only that because of the amount and type of people in there. If celebrities would join to Mastodon and their followers with them this would change. Which could be good. I have Mastodon and I think I follow good people. But I do miss some of those hits tweets that were so good that made me shown them to irl people.

I do understand the need/desire for some people of smaller semi-closed communities. But some people want also something big, with the good things that come with big communities.

Also I don’t know how many people are there with a single interest in life. But I least I have so many interests that I could not choose a instance by their supported interest or community, because I would be missing a lot of things from other interests I had. That’s why I mad account in generalist instances, hopping that they are federated with as much other instances as possible.

That’s why I support more federation integration in the fediverse.
