Yeah, except when she stood up everything apart from her head and neck was visible. You can see in the screenshot actually - the background where her head should be is all wavy because of her Predator camo that’s still active.
For those that have poked around other fediverse stuff beyond Lemmy, and been around the spaces awhile, what’s stuck out to you as stumbling blocks, or basic user experience fumbles? Which parts do you think may be technical, and which may be cultural?
Onboarding. The fact that you have to choose an instance to join while creating an account is essentially forcing people to make a decision for which, unless they’ve done some reading, they’ll have no idea of the implications. It’s such a weird concept for new users - they have to know about a thing before they’ve had experience with a thing.
Even if it doesn’t really matter which instance you begin with, the experience will be different, and there’s a sense of “pressure” at the point of signup, which doesn’t exist outside of the Fediverse.
The article is about transitioning from Instagram to Pixelfed, i.e. it’s targeting people who already use Instagram. If an individual is an Instagram user already, then privacy clearly isn’t a consideration for them, and if it was, there are countless articles already regarding Meta’s approach to their data that don’t need to be recycled here.
If your concern is your data, then yes, don’t trust anyone but yourself. As has been said, there’s alternatives for that, including self-hosting.
Pixelfed’s advantages aren’t limited to potential privacy features though, which I agree would have been excellent items to raise in the article, such as a focus on photos and a complete lack of any algorithm forcing tailored content at you. But this is a how-to article, not a feature comparison. I’m sure we’ll see a prevalence of those in the future but it’s still early doors. I would argue that it literally does imply that Pixelfed is more privacy focused though - it’s right there in the title.
A group of Manchester United supporters are plotting a series of protests to make it clear they do not want Mason Greenwood to be reintegrated into the club’s plans....
The difficulty is, he’s not a rapist in the eyes of the law as there was no conviction, so Ten Hag or the club can’t say anything that suggests he is without opening themselves up to legal repercussions.
That said, Greenwood absolutely should not play for this or any other club because, despite the outcome, we all know what he is. The termination of his contract should be unquestionable.

In your opinion, how do you think lemmy is measuring up so far as a Reddit alternative?
I know every one hates reddit I know. I guess I’m looking for unbiased type of answers. Anyway, how do you think lemmy is doing so far?
