Fediverse@lemmy.world•Fediverse alternative to Facebook is what's really missingEnglish
11·1 month agoIt has all of them, but it’s bare bones and doesn’t scale well. The instance where I have an account regularly falls over - sometimes for months at a time. Most of my friends there haven’t returned.
I don’t feel it’s currently a viable Facebook alternative, and it would need monumental amounts of work for it to become one.

Technology@lemmy.world•Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicideEnglish
42·3 months agoSadly, the first thing the defending lawyers will point out is where were the parents in all this? Why was he able to turn off the parental controls, and why didn’t the parents notice?
If I removed ActivityPub from my blog, I’d get no readership whatsoever. It’s not like search works anymore.

Technology@lemmy.world•Mastodon is bringing quote posts to the fediverseEnglish
2·3 months agoFilters already mute keywords and can be set for specific periods of time. AFAIK*, subscribed blocklists were rejected because they could be used to target minority members by bad actors. How are custom feeds different from lists?
- From threads on the subject months ago, so that might have changed.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Can we please stop arguing about whether Bluesky is decentralized?English
2·3 months agoNot really that hard to explain, unless I’m missing your point. Wafrn is a federated Tumblr-like platform that allows two-way interaction with Bluesky users (without the need for bridging).




Except all those times where you learnt how to do something when you set it up years ago, and haven’t touched it since because it just bloody works. Then when you need to upgrade to a new machine you have to learn it all again.
Been using Linux for thirty years and it still happens.
