Yup, that is what professional/corporate scrapper do from the very beginning. Fediverse has poor privacy, and it is designet that way. It is better to share only safe content to fediverse for our safety, and share more private things on messaging/chatting apps like matrix or email only to person we trust.

Technically, yes. But if you are caught red handed, be ready for the mass ban to your account/instance.

On all instances. Each instance has copy of what happened and every action is relayed by community instance (in this case, Beta) to all subscriber of the community.

Oh, sorry… I thought they are one from the start… thx for correcting me.

Welp… Gnome will lost many of their contributor/maintainer… Well, at least KDE folks is backed by Novell(SUSE) and XFCE is purely maintained by community already. It seems Linux desktop is still safe. lol

Gundam and any kind of war-esque anime is tied to politics.

No worries, Lemmy is alive. Lemmy and Fediverse in general is better to grow organically.

A fediverse specific glitch.

I use cheap M11 phone. Solid and durable phone but a bit overpriced on my country. It survive my abuse for 2 and half years until now from dropped to gravel repatedly to get washed using tap water (dont try this at home, lol). It also somehow always better at receiving signal than my wife’s Xiaomi phone. I love it.

I got a Karmic Koala (ubuntu 09.10) CD from my friend kn my high school days, I install it on my Pentium 4 PC then freaked out because there are no codec and I can’t install it because I have no Internet at all, lol. Going back to windows until I have Laptop on my second year of uni. I still needs to use my uni’s wifi to install any apps, but it is workable and I use Linux almost exclusively since then. (sometimes dual boot-ing if there are Lecture that needs me to use windows.)

Here is the tutorial, please make YOUR OWN server if you dislike admin choice. Thx!

Yayyy!!!

I agree with you!

In western cultural hemisphere, yes. Antimeta and anti big-corporation backed social media has gained big momentum.
Meanwhile on global south, they didn’t even know what privacy is. And fediverse user on my country is less than 1000 from tens of millions people. In global-south at least, I saw potential to introduce fediverse to greater masses using thread.

I didn’t say we should harass admins, I’m saying it’s up to us as a community to either move to an instance that defederates or if you know what you’re doing, stay on an instance that does federate and don’t add content to Threads.

I don’t imply that it is you, but the harrassment did happened.

It bothers me that after leaving for-profit social media, a lot of people here are totally fine going straight back to them. Have we really learned nothing?

I think it is different, when we use their services on their platform, they are our lords. They can do anything to our content and identity there with little to no retaliation potential. When we interact with them using fediverse, we can hold our ground and control what data we cede to them to interact with their users.

At some point, it’s expected that Meta will enable federation for Threads. For the rest of the Fediverse, it’ll be drinking from the metaphorical firehose. There will have been this culture that was built and backed by Meta, and for those people there will be no change other than the gates being open. They won’t have learned to use content warnings/headings, they won’t have learned how to interact with other servers, the etiquette just likely won’t be there, and why should they adapt to what the rest of the Fediverse is doing? They don’t value it in the same way we do.

A valid concern that I missed, thanks for bringing this up.
Hmm… I am very conflicted on this matter, I want fediverse to prosper and replace mainstream social media. But on the other hand I also want fediverse to keep its chill and relaxed community that I can hang around. I also don’t want for fediverse to become toxic because disagreement on how to treat meta. I saw some admins gets harrased just because they plan to federate with meta. It saddens me and I worried that many instance will dissapear because admins can’t stand with that kind of harrasment then proceed to shutdown their instance like mastodon.online ones.

Yup, same opinion here. If I can add, most intensivist are native denizen of fediverse, they use fedi long ago before elon even think to buy twitter. They takes root here to escape persecution and harrasment when using mainstream socmed. Whereas extensivist is mostly twitter refugees or those who only knows fediverse after elon bought twitter and using twitter to escape bad owners and worsening community. They then attracted to fediverse autonomy and potentials, and want to use fediverse to replace mainstream social media. They want to use fediverse to ensure there are no el*n-buy-twitter-then-kill-the-platform again.
Both are valid motives to use fediverse, but it is contradictary.

Hyprland ftw!

I think it is more self-deprecation than elitism as (in my image) normies tend to have more friends and healier relationship and hobbies.

Whoa, the amount of downvotes is staggering. I agree with you that it doesn’t feel right to see many instance admins defederates with thread from the start. EEE is a threat, but fediverse is already has known by normies as mastodon and has strong culture behind it. I think fediverse will live as usual even when meta decided to stop federating.
