A web programmer and self-proclaimed artist who lives in Los Angeles. I sometimes dabble in the arts of cooking, drawing, gaming, youtubeing, musicing, and just about anythinging.
That should cover it.
@neamhsplach My favorite one is the reply to saving those monks, “Fat chance! You can’t count on God for jack. He pretty much told me so himself.”
@OsrsNeedsF2P I never looked that into the leaks. Like another article said it doesn’t defeat encryption on chat apps but encryption means nothing if someone is already looking over your shoulder before you even hit send.
I think the Notepad++ dev put it best in his conclusion.
“Just like knowing the lock is useless for people who are willing to go into my house, I still shut the door and lock it every morning when I leave home. We are in a f**king corrupted world, unfortunately.”
@rbos @EverlastongOS that’s the only thing I don’t understand. If it’s lifetime sub, how do they fund their costs from your usage after?
Host providers don’t have a one-time payment lifetime subscription for bandwidth usage. Eventually you will surpass the bandwidth cost of your lifetime sub and they’d be losing money keeping you. Something doesn’t feel right.
@jaykay @kamasupra sorta… like I’m replying via my Mastodon account. Currently there isn’t post creation, though some googling has shown that it’s something they’re working towards.
But you basically copy the Fediverse Logo Link of a post and paste it on search in your mastodon client. It appears as a toot and you can comment; Lemmy will display it natively like this comment.
Favoriting the post on Mastodon counts as an upvote.
Communities appear as group accounts.
@Lurra @nodsocket same wasn’t that interested in Reddit/Twitter until Twitterific/Apollo came out. I tried using the regular twitter app but was too slow, and didn’t leave my feed where I left off last. Apollo was so snappy and I loved save categories.
But the Fediverse has accountability and boundaries. So generally speaking most communities that are connected closely are generally positive. Anything that falls out of line gets blacklisted, so I’ve never felt so at peace.
@nope it wasn’t necessarily that I wanted a 3rd Party Client, I just enjoyed Twitter through Twitterific as it had features I liked. But… as time went on Twitter toxicity was impossible to escape, almost like walking on eggshells. Eventually just using it to argue and defend myself, so I’m actually quite happy with the alternative. I follow artists through their major avenues since most aren’t on here. I’m just not actively commenting on those platforms or posting my content anymore.
@CleanDefinition @Ghast so true!
I got banned from Subs for asking questions, I couldn’t make my own without the original shadowing me on every search.
But theoretically on Lemmy every community can have a voice, if the rest of Fediverse believes it in, it can flourish. Other servers can’t report you or shadow ban beyond the confines of their server.
If a group tries to bully you they might get their entire server banned so the mod’s would likely terminate the user first
@if_you_can_keep_it @Rogueren Assuming that one Federated Service is the end all be all user experience for what you’d like to share can hurt many. In Mastodon I kept seeing people (during the Twitter Exodus) who wanted multi-sever posting to each local feed under one account. Like Lemmy’s cross site posts, not sure if Lemmy lets you cross post multiple times to different communities. But some basically wanted Mastodon to work like Lemmy and FB Groups.
e.g. Main Post -> Community 1, Community 2
@Mojo @KahunaDaKine on the same page, was initially bummed out my account didn’t get approved, guess my answer was poo lol. But then I remembered I can use my Mastodon account to comment. I just can’t create post or downvote them.
Favoriting counts as a upvote though.
So I’m basically a lurker now lmfao! (ʘ‿ʘ)
