Brave has a good marketing team.

Yeah. On Twitter as well

Sure. Just saying this is federated and you don’t really control where this post ends up.

Uh, there are plenty of Nazis and tankies on fedi. Chances are you’re using software written by hardcore tankies (Lemmy devs)

Tell her to stop. Then cease all contact. No need to be respectful. It’s not a situation that needs fine granularity.

You are the adult in this and it’s always going to be your responsibility to do the right thing. So act like a responsible adult.

this is potentially the last social identity you have to create.

…as long as you stay centralized on the central BlueSky instance. Once you move out to a (potential, future) federated server, that identity (and it’s super duper verification) doesn’t follow you.

Also, you can’t easily/fast search in voice data and you end up implementing all kinds of weird and costly workarounds like AI transcription in order to make voice meetings searchable. Voice is great for telling stories around camp fire, but it’s awful way to convey and store information in a online forum.

Short answer: No
Long answer: Nooooooooooooooo

Lemmy’s core values of decentralization, privacy, and user autonomy

I’m sorry, but is privacy really one of Lemmy’s core values? Because fediverse has no real privacy features (that I know of), in fact, federation and ActivityPub makes privacy features pretty hard to implement. Could you please elaborate and link to the source of this?

Smoking. Smoked a pack a day for 14 years. Been smoke free for over 20 years now.

I’m pretty sure the market share for Firefox would grow. Maybe even 5-10% which would potentially put it at total of …. 15%

They would be huge, but to think Firefox would ever be the popular browser is probably a bit too optimistic. That ship sailed long time ago.

Chrome/Google is pretty messed up junk these days and no one cares.

From decentralised perspective the verification data is stored in the verifiers PDS rather than having the verified-certificate in the subjects PDS which means this particular check is always for the official BlueSky server only and won’t be federated anywhere else. Other potential servers are free to implement their own (potentially different!) local verification scheme with it, but it’s never going to be network wide and it never federates anywhere except the server where it’s implemented.

This is why I commented earlier about their decision to move to ”traditional” social networking space and away from decentralised networking

I think at this point it’s pretty clear that BlueSky is in the traditional social media business instead of being in the decentralized social media business.

Maybe that’s a good decision for BlueSky, they certainly seem to have the growth at the moment, but I think we probably have to forget the dreams of it ever pushing the decentralization angle again.

Papa V Perpetua

I generally try to use RSS feeds, but I’ve come to realize this doesn’t really work too well with current-/world news, because it becomes a firehose that drowns my entire feed. So these days, I just have my other interests in RSS feeds and use the BBC and The Guardian front pages to quickly get a summary of current events. I also visit my local newspaper site for headlines (they put their stuff behind paywall though, so it’s just headlines).

I’ve culled my social media to Lemmy and Mastodon and I use pretty aggressive word filtering on Mastodon to get rid of topics I’m not very interested in.

It’s not perfect by no means, but I haven’t really found anything else that works. I wish I had some better way to follow European and African news and commentary, but everything (apart from manually visiting sites) seems to always result in a firehose of news that drowns all other sources.

It’s spez so of course they’re going to go for NSFW subs. Pretty sure that’ll just cause people to move to Onlyfans and other, already NSFW platforms.

Can’t really see anyone paying for sub access apart from porn.

All of them have really bad audio and as such, they’re completely useless.

Enterprise antivirus products have had PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) category forever. Seems its categorized as “HackTool” so not malware.

The rubber keyboard was pretty weird first, felt a lot like cheap pocket calculator, but once you got used to the BASIC shortcuts, you could program like a champ on it.
