I have no rebottomal for this comment.

The instance I’m on doesn’t seem to block any other instances and I’m not seeing any Nazi or pedo content.

Some instances choose to “defederate” other instances, which means that users from one won’t be able to see or intract with content from the other. This is primarily meant to combat instances that create spam or host illegal content, but many instances use it for political purposes.

Yeah, the SDF instance seems to be lenient about this. Hopefully it will last.

Unfortunately, the owners of your instance can also choose to block something for you.

It already has Twitter-like and Instagram-like platforms. How much worse can it get?

Just like you have to make another account on each Fediverse platform because either they’re incompatible or one of them blocks the other.

How is this walled-garden behavior? There is no centralized database of Minetest accounts.

Wiser words have never been spoken.

I hate that it constantly plays advertisements for itself. Like, I’m already listening to you, I don’t need to be informed that you exist.

Betteridge’s law of headlines…

You would be able to find them if every instance didn’t decide to defederate with Threads.

It means you’re compensating for the lack of optional/named parameters in your language.

You’re on Lemmy, where the vast majority of people are left-leaning. Anyone who says this is going to be downvoted to hell.

And in the context of having a politics-free day on Lemmy, why do you care about what those people think?

How would federation with Threads have any effect on the usability of a Mastodon instance?

Why would it be?

Terminally online people often get the feeling that everyone except a hateful minority agrees with them, when in reality they’re part of a secluded echo chamber.

What does Rust improve over its predecessors? The only really new thing is the borrow checker, which is only useful in very low-level programming.
