Ayyyyy

No it’s the person who owns the source.

A pro-Israel American iirc.

For one, it bases it’s bias assessments on American politics. The UK is less right-wing than the US but when this bot comes along it calls a source which we might call centrist, “left”.

In a way, it’s like an attempt to shift the overton window for other countries closer to the US, and that’s not a good thing.

Of course, don’t expect this to be addressed by @[email protected].

People offered plenty of constructive criticism in that thread:

The mod ignored it and only replied to positive feedback.

The fact that this platform is developed by transphobes is a big FUCKING deal

Not really. Usually the issue is the platform devs also control the instances/servers but that isn’t the case here.

The code isn’t transphobic. The code is code. We shouldn’t reject perfectly good code because we don’t like who wrote it. That’s just giving the software solely to the people who do to the detriment of everyone else.

Because he’s the developer. He can easily change a line of code to exploit users and servers across the fediverse.

This can be done by anyone, and applies to any platform. It’s not a problem unique to Lemmy.

I also don’t see how transphobia and backdooring everyone are at all related.

Another one for the graveyard!

Yep the Pinetime can last for about 2 weeks on Infinitime in my case

I mean, it’s not on their server. It’s hosted on dbzer0.

Isn’t it funny that people always see their own depictions of idols, afterlifes, etc?

No. It’s religious quackery.

Even fsf.org looks better on mobile, and I’m certain the design is quite outdated by now.

But do they ignore existing implementations of a feature when they want to add that feature? And make it crappier when federated?

“Foam mouthed Threads opponents”

Threads is quite blatantly just going to throw it’s weight around. It’s not in good faith. They’re already not going to properly implement ActivityPub (which they apparently would do, according to pro-Threads federation people), and so certain content will appear different on Threads and AP. And of course threads is massive already as if you have an Instagram account you have a Threads account.

Smaller services and services which aren’t megacorps are fine. Honestly, BlueSky federation seems like a good thing to me. But we’ll have to see about that.

My point is there’s a line between “federate to get more exposure and connections” and “federate to get EEE’d”. Threads crosses that line. BlueSky I don’t know about. They’re very different scenarios.

Actually pretty well. I’ve seen mastodon users around a few times.

“Meta will play nice” the shills said.

“They won’t EEE you’re being paranoid”, they said.

“They’ll follow the standard”, they said.

Embrace, extend, extinguish

I mean, there’s a reason there are so many distros. They’re for different needs.

Some people seem to prioritise a little convenience above absolutely everything else, which leads to Ubuntu, but people like me want proprietary software to burn in hell, so we wouldn’t use Ubuntu. Ubuntu is not suitable for our needs. It also wouldn’t be suitable for having an easily customiseable OS, which a lot of people like.

Yes. Instance and user defederation are best when used together.
