Are console wars back? Are we doing this again?
God no, we don’t fight about silly things like what plastic box you own. We fight about sensible things, like which Linux distro your plastic box runs. (Fedora btw)

As someone who spends more money than I should on music from Bandcamp, I’m interested to see if they ever get payments working. I remember people talking about a federated BC alternative, where the 10% platform fee goes to the instance you’re on, when they got bought by that music licensing company.
Also, first paragraph under “Integrating with the Fediverse”, you put Bandcamp when I think you meant Bandwagon.
I haven’t got to this yet, but all I want to know is if the toff in my head ever shags the stable girl.
Where have they done that?
Yeah, I’m not going to defend Mastodon’s frankly bizarre Like system. It’s not even a privacy thing as favourites are fully public.
It simply can’t really happen due to the technical way Mastodon and Lemmy function. I’m not sure if there is a way to address this on either side (or if the developers would be willing to do so even if there was).
Mastodon needs to implement group support, you can follow the issue here (don’t get your hopes up though).
Their app is open source, but it doesn’t give any instructions on how to self-host it, in fact it seems to not have been designed with self-hosting in mind given the forking section of the ReadMe:
You have our blessing 🪄✨ to fork this application! However, it’s very important to be clear to users when you’re giving them a fork.
Please be sure to:
- Change all branding in the repository and UI to clearly differentiate from Bluesky.
- Change any support links (feedback, email, terms of service, etc) to your own systems.
- Replace any analytics or error-collection systems with your own so we don’t get super confused.
The impression I get from Bluesky is that it doesn’t view federation as a core feature of its platform, just a nice technical oddity. I’m no expert on the AT protocol, but from a quick skim of the quickstart, their view of federation seems to be having disparate data repositories (Personal Data Servers) app developers can put their app data into. It doesn’t really seems to be about different software communicating with each other.
In contrast, ActivityPub is about passing JSON between servers in a somewhat standard format so different software can reasonably understand what that JSON represents and act on it in a way that makes sense for that software.
(But again, I’m don’t know anything about the AT protocol, I could be completely wrong here)
Wow, what an odd thing for NASA Commercial Crew to post.
How do you spend 250 billion million on something and the only way people hear about it is the memes mocking how much of a failure it is? Is Morbius just the standard Sony marketing strategy now?

But, but, Ukraine bad. The Azov Battalion is going to genocide all the Russian speakers.
How are half of these “Gen Alpha phrases”? The edging Wikipedia article was created in 2004, for example.
There was/is a wave of far-right riots happening in the UK, which involved a lot lotting and attacks on Muslims. This was triggered by a stabbing in Southport and a lie that spread on social media claiming that the perpetrator was a Muslim migrant that came to the UK on a ‘small boat’ crossing the channel (he was actually born and grew up in Cardiff). Musk may be liable because during the riots he made several posts undermining the government’s attempts to quell the unrest and his general failure to tackle disinformation spreading on Twitter, such as the Muslim migrant lie.
It’s less that they’re big, but old.

Woah, that’s a funny way to spell Hatsune Miku.
Why do they go through the effort of banning people from individual communities when site banning should be enough? It honestly just comes across as vindictive.
Which would also be a weird claim given the state of Linux YouTube.
The algorithm really did just hit me with this:
I wouldn’t call what I was doing with your dad last night ‘getting cucked’.
