Are all the people here recommending Bookwyrm and NeoDB actually using them?

I just spent a solid chunk of time importing and correcting various accounts to NeoDB and Bookwyrm and they are both petty frustrating to use, especially with how much content is missing, mislabeled, or duplicated. Plus, they don’t seem to federate with each other (understandable, in so far as very few parts of the Fediverse actually federate well together [unlike, perhaps, Mastodon and mbin]) or even support exporting/importing data from each other.

Hey Guardian, the system that empowers ‘private entities’ and rewards ‘cashing in’ has a name.

The main reason I picked .zip was the lack of defederation. There’s definitely content here I don’t want to see and do hide, but I’m suprised how many people here (Lemmings? Piefeddies?) are happy to delegate that task to an instance admin.

It’s my role to determine what content I see, no one else’s.

Near the start of the meeting, Yen said, “I want to acknowledge myself, personally, that there was a communication failure on my part and there are many things that probably could and should have been communicated differently, and this is something that I’ll have to reflect on and improve over time. So I will do that.”

“So what does that mean going forward? Going forward, I’m still going to push,” he added.

Uh. This news makes everything about 0% better.

I’m not at all suprised he thinks that, but I dunno. I am a bit suprised he said it out loud.

Sometimes I worry that maybe the state doesn’t have our best interests in mind 👉👈

Because then I’d never finish my masterpiece. /hj But more seriously, a lot of his stylistic choices are ones I try to not replicate in my own writing. The extremely detailed descriptions of food, clothing, woman’s bodies, etc. I love the story he tells but find the writing itself can be a chore to read sometimes, if that makes sense.

I feel like Linux having a guy is antithetical to Linux but I guess I’m just in the minority.

Genuine question. I’m not a developer, I didn’t study computer science, and I’m a pretty basic Fedora user. But why does everyone harp on Linus Torvald’s opinions like they’re handed down from heaven? Windows still dominates the market, but no one cares what Bill Gates says. I love A Song of Ice and Fire but I wouldn’t take writing tips from George R. R. Martin. Richard Stallman’s opinions on GNU/Linux are memed endlessly. Linus is literally just a dude.

I hopped around a bit before landing on .zip, and they definitely strike the right balance. I just want admins to defederate spam. Anything beyond that is curation, which is solely my job.

Noooooooooo I’ve been so excited for Ladybird 😭

Is the article 404ing for anyone else?

DDG has ads?

Not leaving the internet wholesale, per se, but I’m guessing the majority of people in the Fediverse are functionally trying to roll back to a pre-2020 internet.

That’s certainly why I’m here.

Grunge question. I’m very much a surface-level Linux user. But is Omarchy more than just a hyprland rice?

Same. I’ve been using DDG as my default for years, but it’s main strength for me is using !g to redo the search after not finding anything good the first time.

You can reply to replies. You don’t need multiple top-level comments.

I feel like a lot of the specific criticisms you’re getting are valid, but I mostly agree with you on the broad strokes. I didn’t come here because I hate Reddit, I came here because I hate what Reddit became.* I’m glad you’re populating my feed with interesting posts, although I hope you take the feedback here (especially about accreditation) to heart.

*what I actually hate about Reddit is the culture of unaccountable moderators that can do whatever they want with no recourse just because they claimed a subreddit name first, and your quadruple moderation comment also rings true. This is like my fourth instance before finally finding one that doesn’t defederate any communities I want to follow.

Not with that attitude.

Well yeah. Hence the second half of that sentence.
