I don't think reddit started out as a for profit company. iirc it started as some dudes sharing links. I knew a site like that back in the day. Link aggregator and forum made by one dude because he liked the community.

Oh they're absolutely tankies, dessalines website is crystal clear on that. To me this is simply a test of the fediverse. If it works as intended, the devs political orientation shouldn't matter. We'll see.

That blue light thing is pseudo-science. Bodily activity though, yup, that's a big one.

Indeed. Email is a good analogy to explain the federation principle, not to argue about the finer details. But going along with it, spam email is being blocked. Whole IP ranges are blocked ("defederated") by spam filters, because otherwise, good grief...

We absolutely do not need meta. The fediverse is doing just fine. There must be exactly zero tolerance for their likes. Nothing, absolutely nothing good can come from meta if you have been paying any attention at all. They do not benefit users, they milk them.

As the saying goes...

KILL IT BEFORE IT LAYS EGGS

I mean sure, good news is always welcome, but if I'm bombarded by a website by cookie request, download the app AND fullscreen newslettersignup popups... I'm out. Jesus christ.

The downvoting is part of the joke (:

We have socialism in europe and it's pretty great. Just leave us alone with forced upon communism before we're technologically ready.

Exactly. Those are the kinds of personalities that can commit atrocities.

At least lemmy wasn't started by tankies... oh wait.

See my response to the other person.

I'm using Jerboa and while I was able to comment initially, it first started saying "deleted" immediately after posting and now it says "language_not_allowed" and the comment is gone, irrespective of content. What's up with that?

 

Without that level control over my feed, I'll probably go back to the other place. I thought self-determination is part of the fediverse mission, but so far that is much easier on reddit. Is that feature in planning for any of the major hubs (kbin/lemmy/beehaw)?

 

Yes, so I want to browse all but actually control the content, block instances, block keywords, etc... currently using Jerboa, but not married to it.
