I don’t understand what you mean. I don’t count on anything. See my other reply.

Yes, but all that is true for Facebook, Reddit and whatever. It’s still nice to have this feature in the “reference” implementation of Lemmy. I think.

I don’t know if this is already in the ActivityPub protocol, but it would be nice if all instances who has a copy of some content, deletes it, if it has been marked “request for deletion” by the creator or the owner of the instance where it was first posted. There will always be actors that store specifically all posts that’s been marked for delete, but I still think this is preferable.

It would be really nice if this information was super explicit when one joins a community. In the default interfaces. And that users get a notification if community settings change.

Thanks for sharing!

That kind of behavior can also be a sign that the documentation is hard to find or hard to comprehend. Or that something isn’t documented at all, but the seniors imagine it is, because the answer is obvious to them.

If someone actually wants help searching Lemmy or the Fediverse, I recommend this site: https://fedi-search.com/

Very simple, but it does the job. It’s also good if one wants to learn advanced Google queries.

Remember that most people don’t even know there is something called “rankings” or “indexer” in this context.

Actually I did. Not thanks to you though.

Probably good, but I want to stay away from anything related to Kubernetes. My experience is that it’s an overkill black hole of constant debugging. Unfortunately. Thanks though!

Looks good. Thanks!

It’s much more powerful though. Based on Org-Mode.

Seems pretty cool! I have to try it out. Thanks for sharing.

Mastodon simply is a different thing than X/Bluesky. It’s more like RSS/Blog/IRC. It will never go mainstream unless they add (opt out) algorithms and a better search functionality. But maybe that’s just not worth it. Mastodon has already lost to Bluesky when it comes to being an open mainstream Twitter replacement.

I’m curious about if it’s even technically possible to build something federated that feels like a Twitter replacement, using the ActivityPub protocol.

True!

I don’t think so. Probably not. It’s a classical argument when starting a war (Germany/WW1 and Japan/WW2), that’s why I brought it up.

I.e. if you believe there is a very high risk for war at SOME point, then you probably want to take control of the situation and start the war at a time and place of your choice. If you can destroy 90% of NKs ICMBs (or other kinds of carriers) today, it’s better to start the war now, if the new technology will bring that number down to say 50% by tomorrow.

The conspiracy theorist in me says that it’s not impossible that the recent coup attempt in SK was somehow related to this kind of thinking. This is how the military tend to reason after all.

Maybe you could move abroad? Canada or the EU? I.e. some western country with a better welfare system. If you don’t have friends or family, that might be an option. And if you’re healthy enough.

I guess the counter argument would be that the situation will only get worse the longer you wait. That argument has been used many times in history.

That’s an argument I don’t agree with. I believe the perceived risks of nuclear fallout is negligible in most cases. Especially when talking tactical nukes. For sure a risk North Korea (or Russia) would be willing to take.
