I am excited for this!

This is the perfect amount of cringe. Well done!

Oh that’s my bad. I never actually realised that they are no longer open source. Am I being downvoted in lemmy.ml? If yes, then I have no idea why and don’t really care lol. I would happily support each of the projects I mentioned.

Kbin, Mastodon, Signal, CryptPad, Bitwarden Libre Office, Paint.NET, OpenShot, Audacity, F-Droid

This will only happen if more popular projects choose the alternatives, forcing people who want to contribute to them to join those platforms. I am sure that the fact that Ernest chose codeberg over Github for Kbin resulted in several of its current contributors to join that platform for the first time.

Will try, thanks for the suggestion.

Firefox ftw!

I have subscribed to the news and worldnews magazines in kbin.social, lemmy.world, Lemmy.ml and Beehaw, along with the Ukraine one in sopuli.xyz. I am getting all the latest updates right here in my feed. I also follow the #Russia hashtag on Mastodon, and has also added it to my favourite hashtags tab on Tusky (Mastodon app). I am getting faster updates than what I used to get on Twitter and Reddit.

I use Tusky. Have tried several others, but always came back to Tusky as it fits my needs perfectly.

This post is going straight to the fediverse hall of fame!

Its a reference to how people have been tricking these “AI” models like ChatGPT to do stuff it wouldn’t do when asked straight-forward by making silly scenarios like the one in the meme. And HAL is the name of the AI in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Yeah, that was a bit odd lol. I assume the last article the artist read before drawing this comic would have been about that, and it was pretty fresh in their memory.

Don’t be surprised if you are getting flooded with spam bots after removing all the security features against spam bots, human.

This. Federation doesn’t transfer private data of the user, just their public facing profile and posts. There is no expectation of them being private.

Smartphones.

I hate the fact that for a large number of people, this will be how they will be introduced to the fediverse and their view of it will be tainted by Meta. I also dread seeing Meta spam in my federated timeline. And I also fear Meta building its own proprietary features on top of the ActivityPub protocol, making the content generated with them incompatible with independent clients, and allowing Zuck to spread his monopoly to the fediverse as well.

The ones I mentioned which are already existing are neither Lemmy nor kbin instances. They are pretty much all running on Mastodon.

Medium already has an instance, and so does Vivaldi. Tumblr is planning on supporting federation. Although not really a corporate, Mozilla is also setting up its own instance (which is something I am happy about).

Worst of all, Meta is coming up with an ActivityPub platform. I am going to dread the day when my timeline will be flooded with posts from them.

Don’t expose me like that please!

Self awareness is a good quality. Keep it up.
