it’s like email (derogatory)
When comparing the fediverse to email we’re talking about the technology. It’s a simplification to explain how it all connects together using a very similar and known example.
I think the only difference is that, unlike email, all fediverse uses the same* activitypub protocol. Other than that, yeah, it’s just like those house-castles.
* Some differences may arise depending on implementation, like misskey reactions
lol these were constructed with mostly Saudi Arabians in mind. Didn’t really work out.
Where is the lie?
Stop trying to sell me on it; I’m already here!
Yes. The fediverse is so great I’ve stopped telling people about it.
We fedis know how to keep a secret.First rule of Fediverse…
Too much growth will kill the vibe in this place.
Oh, I can exist in polite society just fine.
It’s just that I don’t want to.
“Polite society” ain’t.
Greetings!
Hello
Crosspost comment consolidation helps with that issue.
Already available on Piefed, planned on Lemmy 1.0.
planned on Lemmy 1.0.
Closed as not planned: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/3415
That’s… sad to see.
I’ll probably make a post about this when I have some time. Community fragmentation is still quite a large issue across the Threadiverse, it was supposed to be solved by this.
How does this interact with moderation? I never considered that viable because how wildly… Shall we say diverse .ml, .world, and the rest of the fediverses’ moderation schemes are.
Each community’s comments are separated although still on the same page. Here is a good example - https://piefed.social/c/technology/p/1765981/google-sent-personal-and-financial-information-of-student-journalist-to-ice
Oh, that’s neat.
Thanks for the example :)
That’s cool! I just wish the header was more subtle, but that’s only a css thing
I must be missing something because I only see two main comments on that post and the sub comments.
I’m on voyager app tho so that’s likely a limiting feature even tho it’s supposed to be working on that comparability.
Can you show me a screenshot of what you meant to show?
You could just pop it open in your browser… don’t even need an account.
Hypothetically yes, but I only ever accessed fediverse through non-apps briefly before I swapped to the app. I was part of the Reddit app-based exodus. That was the whole reason I came here; to support app devs.
If it’s not reflected in apps, lots of people will never see it. That’s all. I can go out of my way to see it but I don’t see it in my normal interface. Voyager is still working on full piefed support
I think some of us are just kind of used to checking things directly since certain features and concepts may not yet be implemented in things like clients due to being, essentially, the bleeding edge.
Yeah, I get it. You more techie people tend to assume everyone does what you do, and that’s fine, but totally unrealistic overall. I’m not nearly as techie as you probably are, but more than your average user, and tbh the barrier here is pretty high already, even without those assumptions of capability.
If they won’t do the work on other platforms, they certainly won’t here. Y’all need to stop pretending they will. It’s not doing any favors I’m sorry.
I assure you, the alternative to the fediverse is not polite society, not in my experience. Unlike other platforms one is allowed to be wrong here and getting corrected doesn’t trigger the fight, flight, freeze or fawn response.
The Fediverse is not like email, it’s more like the various BBS networks of the 80s: Tons of anarchy, chaos, StarTrek, politics, lunacy, StarTrek… and cool as hell.
Please keep it this way.
BBSes did have a weirdly prominent Star Trek thing going on in the late 80s/early 90s. I never thought about it enough to see how weird it was other than figuring it was mostly nerds being nerds (in a good way).
I have zero problems with Trekkies. If anything, they’re a welcome community, the sci-fi is hopeful and idealistic, it’s positive science fiction.
Oh, I don’t have a problem with Trekkies at all, and I am very fond of the Trek memes on lemmy, but it was almost certainly not nearly as “normal” as I thought it was back in the day.
Had a lot of Tolkien handles on our BBSes as well haha.
Is the “polite society” in the room with us right now?
Is it at X-twitter?
If anyone’s curious:
appeared online in the early 2020’s
I still cannot comprehend that it’s now the late 2020s. FFS, it’s 2022
Wouldn’t this still be mid-2020s? I’ve always though it goes like 0-3 early, 4-6 mid, 7-9 late
Video showing them. I wish they would show the inside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3P2USPFDcE
By late 2016, construction work on the castles was behind schedule. This was initially attributed to the cold winter weather, then to a failed military coup that July.
This part is funny to me because that coup lasted hours. My parents made fun of me for going to bed right before it began and waking up after the coup was done.
It sounds more like they happened to find an excuse for delays by some divine luck. (Altough there were delay-causing events AFTER the coup)
It’s not just a big truck you pile everything into. It’s a series of tubes!
Ten posts streaming across that, that Fediverse, and what happens to your own personal Fediverse?
The fediverse is more like different countries. Technically you can travel to every other country with your passport and talk to the people there.
But the people running the countries like to put up border controls so you can’t go to countries that don’t align with yours politically, and some ban you just because you’ve visited a country they don’t like in the past.I like this analogy and i think it’s better tham the overused email analogy
It feels like most of the Fediverse is in Schengen Area. Then hexbear and lemmy.ml are like Russia and Belarus.
i’ve felt the same way except i see lemmy.world like the usa, manufacturing consent and peddling propaganda on the lemmyverse with vassal instances like sopuli and shitjustworks benefiting from it like the vassal states of western europe have done; a lot like how the prime minister of canada explained it recently.
confirmed emails from the ghislaine maxwell case that the isreali oligarchy had been “managing narratives” on reddit in a similar way to that of the epstein illuminati controlled 4chan’s /poll/ with things like qanon & pizzagate makes me feel like i’ve dodged a bullet by staying away from both reddit and the diet-reddits of the lemmyverse.
i fully expect that piefed will be like trump going after greenland and make the people of the vassal lemmy instances realize that their instances will diminish on the lemmyverse like the western europeans will soon realize that their countries will lose prominence on the world’s stage.
those people will find that they must return to reddit or go to piefed to continue receiving their iv drips of isreali/us misinformation and breads-&-circuses meanwhile the center of the lemmy’s original leftist communities & instances like hexbear will keep on going strong like they have been despite the lemmyverse censure in the same way that china prevailed against the western world’s censure to thrive compared to the declining us empire and it’s vassal states.
i fully expect that piefed will be like trump going after greenland and make the people of the vassal lemmy instances realize that their instances will diminish on the lemmyverse like the western europeans will soon realize that their countries will lose prominence on the world’s stage.
Wtf are you on about.
i’m building upon a parallel that @Szewek@sopuli.xyz created between the lemmyverse and geopolitics.
The fundamental flaw in your observation here is that many lemmy instances (and piefed) aren’t exactly US-friendly in the first place and are federated up with every other instance. And many Piefed instances are run by non-Americans anyway.
the ones that are us-friendly are the lion’s share of the lemmyverse’s userbase and activity.
This is true (depending on your definition here, we’ll possibly agree to disagree) but piefed existing or not doesn’t change that.
